The Rise of Magicks

Chronicles of The One, Book 3

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Year One and Of Blood and Bone concludes her stunning new trilogy praised as “A match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King’s The Stand.”

After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. She is determined to save even those who have been complicit with this evil out of fear or weakness - if, indeed, they can be saved.

Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal - and rediscover the light and faith within themselves. For although from the time of her birth, she has been The One, she is still only one. And as she faces down an old nemesis, sets her sights on the enemy’s stronghold, and pursues her destiny - to finally restore the mystical shield that once protected them all - she will need an army behind her....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Julia] Whelan's ability to portray a large cast of characters, giving each a unique voice, is laudable. Each character is discernible from the rest — no matter their gender, age, or regional accent. Her soothing tone and even pacing keep the lengthy story moving for the listener. Overall, Whelan deftly presents another production worth listening to." —AudioFile Magazine

Slogged thru this just because I read the other two

I had to force myself to pay attention. Not as interesting as the first two.

Good...just not as good as the first 2

The author really started the series out so strong, so much description, but the description and heart kinda fuzzed up in the last book ....I loved the book and the series but just not as great as the first 2

I devoured this series

I couldn’t listen fast enough. I’m usually not a mystic reader. But I found myself drawn in to the story and the characters. It was different than I expected from Nora Roberts. Outstanding. I will listen to the series again.

I really liked the series :)

I read through a few really negative reviews and was surprised by them. I liked the story, I liked the characters, I liked that everything circled back... it was a great listen and I was sad to see it end, which makes it a great book to me.

Spellbinding!

Enjoyed reading:listening to the story. I love the way Julia Whalen brings each of the characters to life. The descriptions and metaphors bring you into the story as if you are there. I felt all of the emotions of good, evil, pain and love. Looking forward to listening more of Nora Roberts books.

Overall Wonderful

I loved this book and this series. The only downside is I felt the time jumped a bit too far between events and would have loved to know what was taking place during those times. Otherwise it was great!

great series (no spoilers)

I loved the first two books. this one was perfectly in line except for the end. I just felt there could have been more to it instead of the quick generic expected outcome.

Omg

OMG, this book did not disappoint on any level. I don’t have the words to describe just how good it is, suffice to say it would give Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones a run for their money. I really hope that a series or movies will be done based on these books. Fantastic job Nora Roberts 💪💪

Amazing

Amazing ending to a wonderful story.
Wonderful characters. I'm going to miss them very much.

wonderful and magical

I loved every minute of love, growth, musical, magical triumph of good over evil.
