This is book 3 in the series and most definitely not a standalone. If you have not read the first 2 stop reading this, go back and read them you will not regret it.
Bridget Baker has once more done something that seems impossible, she created not just one world but 5 in this book series and they are all well thought out and described in a way that you can imagine what they look like. But she doesn’t stop there her characters are out of this world, thought out, building throughout the series, with qualities that make them seem like real people. 5 stars just don’t seem enough to give but they are all well deserved. Not only has she created a book series that draws you in it is also one that doesn’t fade with each following book. Her research for background becomes apparent in the detail.
This book was amazing so many new things have come to light and so many challenges have been thrown at Alora. Her character is getting stronger and inheriting even more traits. On Terra she was the first women lifter, on Erra she was the first woman elemental and she wasn’t just an elemental to one of the elements but to all even though her greatest gift was being Fire-Called. On both worlds she has faced Kahn as well as John and somehow met Jesse. Now she is entering Rra the world of shifters. Will her form be the lion that she has met through her dreams in Ancient Egypt when she was Sehkmet? Will Kahn, John or Jesse be there with her, in none of her dreams so far has she encountered them in any other form as a human.
Alora is moving between Earth while awake and Ancient Egypt and Rra while she is asleep. How is she going to balance it all and the challenges that are coming with it. On Earth she is trying to find a balance between the people of Isis and Amun and the fact that millions of people now have powers they never had before. In Ancient Egypt she is learning more and more about who she is, who her father was, and what she doesn’t want to become. In Rra she is trying to understand what it means to live with Renders and Reapers and what consequences they might have.
If this isn’t enough then there is also the personal aspect. Jesse, the brother who has always been her anchor, is still fighting for his life because his soul is leaking. Kahn who still holds this great pull and the one thing she cannot figure out what does the sentence there has never been a world where we have been enemies mean. And lastly, we have John, she feels attracted to him and supported. Which of these man holds her heart in a way that it won’t break her?
