February 16, 2015Amazing ending!
What an amazing ending to an awesome trilogy! I'm finding it hard to let go of Memory, Will, Eloryn, and Roen's story. The terrible trials these four go through and their ever growing strength and determination is so touching. Memory gives up so much to save her family and friends and their determination to have her with them completely whole is so touching. I love the way these characters continue to grow in strength and love.
This trilogy is extremely well written and never leaves you disappointed. I highly recommend these books. I can't wait to see what else Selina writes about Avall and I hope we get some more about Memory and Will and their friends.

This review is for the entire trilogy.
I don't know how to explain my opinion on that one. It's one of those novels I wouldn't have read through had it been paper in my hands. I come to realise I'm more lenient in my readings when it's in audiobook form, probably because if it's well read, I enjoy the ride better than reading with my own voice in my head. So before I start, keep in mind I did rate it 3 stars, which means I did like it somehow. But I do have to highlight the bad.
First, the fanfiction feeling was strong in that one, especially the long useless descriptions of clothing that served no purpose other than to know all the characters were pretty and well dressed. I'm not saying it was a fanfic at first, or that the author was in any way overinspired by any exterior content, but that the style, predominence of pretty pretty people and other signs of "Marysuism" were very evident. I can look over some of these as YA tropes, notably the clothing details, but there was a lot to look over in there. Still, I pulled through.
If I go into more specific details to say what I liked and didn't, I would have to start, really, with the characters, for a story, however well written or developped, is nothing if the characters in it are boring or bland. I honestly liked most of the characters of these novels. Memory was really annoying at times, but I felt her interest for serious matter, her strong sense of justice and her honest behavior were great. She was a bit too obvious, predictable, and overly dramatic on some events, but still, circumstances made it possible. Eloryn is wayyy too perfect in everything. Her naïveté doesn't start to cut down on the perfection she shows. I like her in the role of a sister, and the way her identity and manners prevents her fom being too forward, but I still thinks there's room for a little more flaws here. Roen is my favorite, I think. Down to earth, intelligent without being overly so, somewhat lucky. Only real problem is his constant hatred of himself that I somewhat understand, but I can't help but rationalise that all he did wrong, he did with pure intentions, so I think it should be fair to say he would know he wouldn't do these wrongs if he could do otherwise. A bit of shame, fine, but self loathing, well, a bit too strong. Then there's Will and even though he's just my type of man, I hate the objectification he puts himself through from the get go. I won't say more for fear of spoilers, still, it really annoyed me sometimes and i thank Mem for him.
Storywise, I really enjoyed the ride. First book was great world-building, with hints at what could be coming next and the second and third felt nice together, although I think the second was much weaker than the other two. I liked that most characters had good background motivations for their actions, although some were a bit excessive. I can see where they come from and it's better than having random bad guys be bad for the sake of it.
The world is interesting, although there's some loopholes concerning myths and magic and the way in or out of the Veil and in or out of the Faerie realm. Still, great job I have to admire.
So here it is, my final word is, as far as YA go, I enjoyed it well, still, I might have given up halfway through the first book was it not in audiobook because of the writing, so I thank the narrator for her work, she gave life to the characters and story to make it as enjoyable as possible.

Find this review and more on my blog The Rest Is Still Unwritten!
Providence Unveiled is the thrilling conclusion to the Memory’s Wake Trilogy by Selina Fenech and is an addictive, romantic, action packed and at times heart-warming end to what has been a beautiful series to read!
Since waking up in Avall with no recollection of who she was, a lot has changed for Memory. She’s found her sister, discovered who she is and is now the Queen of Avall. But that doesn’t mean the danger Memory and her friends have faced is over; far from it…..There’s a darkness brewing in Avall and with the human, fae and Avall worlds all at risk, Memory and her friends must find a way to protect the ones they love from a enemy that’s been planning it’s attack for decades. With Eloryn, Roen and Will standing by her side, Memory knows she can do everything, but when they themselves are threated, will Memory be able to save them? Or will she need to make the biggest sacrifice a person can make to save them?
Having devoured the Memory Wake’s Trilogy one book after the other, I’m a little sad to see the series come to an end, but I was really satisfied with how Selina Fenech ended it. Providence Unveiled is another beautifully told story, this time taking us into the heart of the lands the fae call home as Memory attempts to rescue someone she loves from the clutches of an enemy---allowing Fenech to truly explore the home of the fae for the first time in this series with wonderful effect. Harsh and barren, this dying land was really intriguing—and I really liked discovering and getting to know the Seelie and Unseelie courts a bit more.
There’s a lot going on in this third and final book; a lot of entertaining moments, sweet moments and of course sad ones as not every character we’ve met along the way is guaranteed to survive the growing discord and war between Avall and the fae. I’ve really enjoyed following Memory, Eloryn, Roen and Will throughout the trilogy and have loved seeing them all develop and grow, especially Memory who has come the furthest over the course of the three books.
It’s been a wonderful reading experience getting lost in this light and magical fantasy world. Selina Fenech delightfully explored the bonds of friendship, family and love and mixed so much magic and adventure into the series. Highly entertaining and luscious, Providence Unveiled brilliantly concludes this trilogy that I highly recommend.

You can think whatever you want, but I am not ashamed of loving this book! This was magical and extremely good! And all these illustrations... you guys... You have to see this book for yourselves!
If you love fey, medieval fantasy, or anything written by Sarah J Maas, of JL Armentrout this is a story for you!

I think Selina Fenech got better and better as the story went on and with each book, just as I predicted.
I feel like, with each book, the characters seemed to solidify and it was really easy to love, fear or dislike them, as if they were real people. The world building got better too!

WOW! I was already in love with this trilogy, but the ending hit me right in the feels! What a beautiful, thrilling, dramatic, and emotional conclusion to a fantastic fairy tale peppered with gorgeous artwork! I'd give it ten stars if I could!

Good ending to an adventure between worlds.

What a beautiful ending! I'm happy everything ending happy for the two couples. For a moment near the end, after Memory saved everyone and all the worlds, (won't continue because of a spoiler) I was scared the book would end with her in that state. It would bring the whole series back in a circle to match how book 1 started but after all that I would have been unhappy to see it end like that
I was pleased that Fenech explored both the human world and the fairy world, since both were talked about in the previous books but never shown.
I do wish the book was longer and more had happened. It was mainly rescue journeys: for Will first, then her friends, then to save herself and Will in the human world, then fight and save all worlds.
Regardless, I took a major chance with this series and ended up loving it! It's a very interesting story that encompasses a variety of details and subplots.

Wow, the last story in this trilogy really captivated me. Memory has to shoulder whole new responsibilities - but she puts it all aside for her friend, as we expect her to do. And to save him she has to risk everything she holds dear, it's a mad rollercoaster ride full of emotions, danger and drama, nailbitingly thrilling and heartbreakingly exciting! Especially the meeting with the dragon, I cried the whole scene through, it was so touching! And the Rump of Steel-skin spiders! So creepy-crawly cool! I adore them - even though I won't want to meet them in real life. A fulminant end that left me breathless ... and now I have to go back over the book and enjoy all the beautiful drawings I didn't have time to really look at because the story kept me in thrall. And they are so worth watching leasurely, admiring all the details. It gives the book a special kick to have the author draw all the pictures and do it so marvellously. Five stars and I want more!

Providence Unveiled by Selina Fenech is the last in the Memory's Wake Trilogy and it provides a fantastic ending to the whole excellent trilogy.
The characters are just as "real" and believable as they have been from day one. The plot line is action packed, just like the first two books. It kept me riveted from page one all the way through the end. I was a little disappointed when I learned who one of the "true" villains was, but only in the sense that I had really liked the character and was disappointed that they turned out to be so evil.
I've enjoyed the whole trilogy and don't think that the author could have written a better ending to it. Memory, Eloryn, Roen, & Will grow throughout the book and at the end you find that they've all come a long way from where they were at the beginning of the first book in the trilogy, Memory's Wake.
Treat yourself and enjoy!

I loved the previous books but this one was even better.
There is a lot of action and al lot of Will (and that is very good).
I really hope Selena will write more about Avail and Memory and especially Will because I really love them.
I still had some questions at the end though... about the (un)seelie courts and other things but I suppose if Selena had wrote 400 pages more, I would still want to know more...
So if you are thinking about reading these books: please do. They are awesome!

Wow! What an emotional trilogy and last book! I thoroughly enjoyed Providence Unveiled. It had way more action, romance, emotion, and angst than the first two books. Also, the sketches were breathtakingly amazing! Wow! I am sad that the trilogy has ended. This series will forever be one of my favourite fantasy series.

A great end to the trilogy. Really enjoyed this and I feel it did justice to the series. Artwork was stunning, as ever and really added to the feel of the book.
We join Memory and Eloryn in the final installment of this trilogy. The time has come for the sisters to try and right the sickness which has come to their world. Will they be successful? You'll need to read it yourself to find out.

Last part of the amazing trilogy, I must warn you, if you are not a fan of gore, this may make you uncomfortable. Now the warning out the way, this is as excellent as the other 2 books of the trilogy and there is a marriage, not telling you who got married though ;) Marks out of ten for the full series, 20 / 10, I enjoyed reading it and would recommend.
November 23, 2014
I loved this book so much I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. It was definitely worth the wait. I couldn't put it down I had to know what was going to happen to Memory and her friends
Don't want to give away anything but a box of tissues is required to read this but its so worth it.

Perfect ending! I went through so many emotions while reading this whole series!
Definitely hits some very hard topics, but not in an 'in your face' way.
I can only hope there will be more from this world and the characters :)

What a fast paced and action packed book. It probably helped that I didn't have such a large gap between reading book 2 and 3 as I had between the first two. Wow. Just wow. A great ending to this series. Well done Selena Fenech.
February 8, 2019
Wow! Amazing!
I loved it so much! It felt even more packed with adventure than the last.
I was sad to have it end but Selina wrapped things up perfectly. I hope there will be more books from this world in the future.

OMG! Providence Unveiled was sooo good! The world building in the previous two books really paid off and all the plot twists came to a satisfying conclusion. Full review to follow.

I couldn't put it down. I had to see how it all ended and the author just rocked it.Fantastic end to the series. Gorgeous art as usual to add to the spectacular story.
March 11, 2015
Great ending to the trilogy! Fell in love with Memory, Will Eloryn, Roen and all the characters in this story. Looking forward to seeing them again, in the future. ;-)
