Critic reviews

Praise for Buried Heart:
Kirkus Best Teen Books of 2017
A 2018 Locus Awards Finalist for Young Adult Books

* "High-fantasy series rarely attract serious literary scrutiny, yet when done well--as here--no genre is better fitted to trace the threads of history from past to present and explore the fascinating patterns they weave."
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Great story and characters!

the last book in this trilogy, held its mystery til the end, had a great ending and gives its main character (and others) real depth and complicated feelings. I highly recommend the whole series to fantasy readers who are looking for more diversity and rich worlds.

strong ending

So sad this trilogy is over. narrator was superb and I will be listening to more of her. the author did an incredible job with this trilogy and I can't wait to see more from her.

It was pretty good

Overall I think the story was stretched a little bit too much and should have stopped.

Great overall conclusion to the series

Great overall conclusion to the series, I really couldn't put it down, but *MILD SPOILER* ...

I found the very end so disappointingly anti-climactic and hard to believe, after such emotional build up then quite a light conclusion. There was also still a sprinkling of moments throughout where the writing or contrivances quite distracted me and made me laugh or just try to forget the stupidity because I liked the story overall so much that I didn't want any reasons not to.

Incredibly juvenile and repetitive.. The narrator

Incredibly juvenile and repetitive.. The narrator was in constant gasping melodramatic voice and story was extremely repetitive. Could have been a single book instead of series. Also, characters made decisions that made no logical sense and the main character would say I learned my lesson or I'm going to do the right thing and then just do the exact same mistake. Very unbelievable, which was unfortunate as it could have been better.
