Quick summary of the other three books: Daire Santos is a
Soul Seeker. It is her job to protect the Upper, Middle, and Lower worlds from
evil forces. In the town of Enchantment, New Mexico she moves in with her
grandmother who teaches her the Seeker ways and tells her that she has to
protect the world from evil, namely the Richter family and their eldest son
Cade. Except, Cade has a twin brother Dace who Daire is Fated to be with. After
many attempts to stop Cade from taking over the worlds including death, loss of
a soul and raining fire from the sky it has all lead up to the final battle…
I’ll admit that after book 2, I was a little wary of this
series. I mean, how can you top the death of not only the main character but
the one that she loves as well? The answer, you really can’t. I mean, yes, the
other two books were good, but they were kind of a let down after book 2.
With Horizon you got the same set up as you did in Mystic –
different POVs with each chapter and I really wished that that wasn’t the case.
The constant jumping of character’s POVs broke up the story and I couldn’t
really get into a constant groove with it. Not to mention the plot was a little
bit lacking, I mean, you have this huge buildup of what Daire and the others
have been up to since the last book and what they’re planning on doing, but all
of a sudden it’s like wham, bam, climax! Uh…okay?
The whole Dace plot line was kind of annoying too. I mean,
yeah, in the last book he took a piece of Cade’s soul but does that small piece
really make that much of a difference? Apparently, yes, it does. Personally, I
think Dace’s whole fight with his inner beast was just a ploy to keep Daire and
Dace apart, again. Also, I think it was interesting that while Dace was
fighting the dark part of his soul, Cade was dealing with the piece of light
that he had left behind. Could you imagine a relationship between Cade and
Daire? I think that would have been interesting.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Even though it had its
problems it was a great conclusion to a series. However, the epilogue annoyed
me to no end. This is supposed to be the final book! Why did she leave it open
like that??
Bookshelf worthy: Just for the cover art alone, yes.
