There are some very prettily written lines (some of which may belong to Jared) that I needed to reread and reread again before I was ready to turn the page.ĭespite having a few of the proverbial bad apples in their family tree, I’m really sad to bid adieu to the Lynburns: sweet Ash, brooding Jared (whom I loved because of said brooding), and even frosty Lillian. My heart also forgot to beat a few times because it was too busy melting over the prose. I’m still looking for a few pieces of my heart, and not just because of some, er, stuff that happens that I don’t like to think about. The other signature of this series has been its ability to seize the reader’s heart in its fist and pulverize it without mercy.
If you’ve guffawed your way through the first two books like I have, you shan’t be let down by all of the witty dialogue in book three. Judge me as you will, but I’ve loved every minute of laughing out loud even as a town and its citizens stood on the brink of a takeover by a diabolical megalomaniac. The series’ sense of humor is an exact match for mine, and that has contributed heavily to my enjoyment of all three books. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case the action in Unmade was for the most part better paced than it was in Untold, although once in a while the quest to stop Rob Lynburn would take an extended backseat to a subplot.įrom the beginning, this series’ greatest appeal to me has been how freaking hilarious it is amidst all of the evil sorcery enveloping Sorry-in-the-Vale. Untold was a little lighter on plot advancement than I’d thought it would be, so I wasn’t sure if Unmade was going to be a rush to wrap up the series. On top of worrying about the fates of certain characters, I was a tad anxious about what to expect from the book in general. All I could think was, for the love of God Sarah Rees Brennan, please don’t kill this character! I hadn’t gotten very far into Unmade before I was already fearing for one of my favorite characters. There’s been heartbreak galore throughout the series, and Unmade carries on that fine tradition. Review: I’ve finished reading The Lynburn Legacy series and survived to discuss it! As anyone else who’s also read the trilogy will probably agree, that’s no small feat. Without this sliver of a chance to defeat him, though, Sorry-in-the-Vale is certainly lost, and Kami can’t bear to watch that happen, either. A hidden piece of Lynburn family history may provide the hope Kami has been searching for, but she may not be the only one who has to pay a steep price to free the town from Rob. To Sum It Up: Despite Sorry-in-the-Vale appearing to be firmly in the grasp of Rob Lynburn, Kami isn’t ready to give up on saving her town-or Jared-just yet.
