Taste of Darkness

Healer, Book 3

De: Maria V. Snyder

Narrado por: Gabra Zackman

She's fought death and won. But how can she fight her fears?

Avry knows hardship and trouble. She fought the plague and survived. She took on King Tohon and defeated him. But now her heart-mate, Kerrick, is missing, and Avry fears he's gone forever.

But there's a more immediate threat. The Skeleton King plots to claim the Fifteen Realms for his own. With armies in disarray and the dead not staying down, Avry's healing powers are needed now more than ever.

Torn between love and loyalty, Avry must choose her path carefully. For the future of her world depends on her decision....

Headstrong, Stubborn is NOT admirable

So sick of a Avry being willing to die to save one random stranger knowing that by doing so her death will leave their entire world without a healer - not just once but repeatedly. That's not admirable - that's criminally negligent behavior.

Also, sick of her ALWAYS thinking she knows more about military tactics than the professionals and throwing temper tantrums and stamping off to do what she thinks needs to be done and AGAIN putting herself in danger to get her way and to Hell with the needs of incoming casualties or existing patients.

Avry: Spoiled, selfish, ignorant child.

Why, why, WHY do so many authors (FEMALE authors, no less!) so often create heroines like this. A woman can be strong without being a stubborn selfish pain-in-everyone's butt.

great book fabulous ending.

Maria Snyder is an awesome writer, and the narrator was fabulous. I loved the story.

Never disappointing

This is an awesome team! I enjoy the stories written by this author and Gabra Zackman is gifted with the perfect story telling voice. I was not ready for the book to end! Now what is next?

So many adversaries, I was on edge getting to this ending.

Avery is compelled to action by her abilities even knowing it can be fatal. Imagining how people live and die during pestilence have me growing in a better understanding of human nature. We are living through disasters daily now; this book was a good coping tool for me. I love Balin, wish I was more like him. Grateful I don't have to be.

Good story in the Series

This book wraps up the series and closes all the gaps. There was lots of action and excitement in the closing moments of the book.
