Bright Blaze of Magic

De: Jennifer Estep

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

Bad Things Always Come in Threes....

As a thief, I'm good at three things: hiding in the shadows, getting in and out unseen, and uncovering secrets. I put these skills to work for the Sinclair Family, one of the magical mobs that run the tourist town of Cloudburst Falls. Everyone knows Victor Draconi wants to take over all the other Families - and kill every last Sinclair. What they don't know is that I'm on to him, and no way will I let the man who murdered my mom get away with hurting all the other people I care about. Especially when I've got places to break into, stuff to steal, and Devon Sinclair fighting right by my side....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The characters are as fantastic as Estep fans have come to expect." (RT Book Reviews)

Wonderful way to wrap up the trilogy!

I am so glad that I finally read this book! I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of this book near its release date but it fell through the cracks somehow. As more time passed, I realized that I would need to refresh my memory of the first two books in the trilogy before I could review the book properly so I put off reading it. I decided to push this book to the top of my list recently and it was a very good decision. I thoroughly enjoyed my re-read of the first two books in the trilogy and was eager to experience this book for the first time. I really had a good time with this one.

This is a trilogy that really needs to be read in order. Things have been building to the events in this book for the entire trilogy and I was excited to see how things would work out. Victor Draconi has been working towards a plan to eliminate the other Families and take control of everything himself. Lila and the other Sinclairs are aware of his plan and they are working to do whatever they can to stop him.

This story was exciting and there were a few scenes that were incredibly action-packed. There were a few scenes where I was really worried about how things would work out for this group of characters that I have grown to care for and some scenes that broke my heart. I loved the way that the monsters and magical abilities were such a vital part of the story. It was great to see Lila really become a trusted member of the Sinclair Family as they came together with the other Families to fight a common threat.

Brittany Pressley did a fantastic job with the narration once again. I looked forward to putting my headphones on and escaping into Lila's world for a few hours. I really felt like she brought this story to life. She did a fantastic job with all of the character voices and brought a lot of emotion into her reading. I believe that her narration added to my enjoyment of this story.

I would recommend this book to others. I thought that this was a wonderful trilogy set in a very interesting world. I had a great time going on this adventure with Lila, Devon, Felix, Oscar, and the rest of the characters. I cannot wait to read more of Jennifer Estep's work.

I received a digital review copy of this book from Kensington Books via NetGalley and purchased a copy of the audiobook.

Fantastic Third Book in the Series!

This third book in the series will not let you down. It starts a couple of weeks after book two ends and takes off from there. Loved seeing how Lila has evolved throughout the series and we get to see her more grown up in this book and accepting her role in the Sinclair family. Also loved seeing how her relationship with Devon has progressed but also how her friendship with Dia and Felix progressed in this book. This story moves quickly from beginning to end and has plenty of action throughout. An all around fantastic read. Brittany Pressley did a great job with the narration of this book.

good book

This third book in the black blades is just what a reader desire s ina fantasy novel with entreag,magic, and action

Too whiny

It would've been a good story if the author didn't continually harp about the dead mother and the pains of the past. Luckily the app lets me fast forward through much of the whiny drivel.

Fantastic conclusion!

What did you love best about Bright Blaze of Magic?

The Main Character, Lila Merriweather. She was awesome!

What other book might you compare Bright Blaze of Magic to and why?

This book was part of a trilogy, that was unique and stands out as one of a kind.

Have you listened to any of Brittany Pressley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but she does a great job!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Awesome!!! I really loved the conclusion to this trilogy. Jennifer Estep has done an excellent job weaving a fantastic plot with a strong heroine and complex characters. I wish there was just a touch more romance in the trilogy, but the storyline was so compelling. The MC was strong, courageous, and a good person. The way the story concluded left me satisfied, even though one could always want more. Five glittery stars for The Bright Blaze of Magic and five glittery stars for the trilogy!
