This is a review for the book “The Key’s Reflection Perceived Images Deceive”; book three of “The Key” trilogy.
In the third book, a new character is introduced who becomes one of the main characters in the story. The other characters from previous books are also there, but much is focused on Lucus and his key.
The book is interesting and causes a desire to want to keep reading. However, for some reason a little less than the previous two books. This might be because I read all three books within a couple of weeks, and the “wow” wore off. Also, I am not in the age group the book is written for, so maybe I became more distracted after reading the first two.
This book is less about pointing out good positive thinking and behavior, and more about the adventure. This makes the book more like many others on the market already.
I do like that at the very end, instead of keeping with the “magical key”, the author goes back to science, demonstrating once again, that even the seemed miraculous can be explained when all the information is present. Personally. I would have preferred a little more focus on the science reason it happened, presented in a way that is still interesting to readers.
I do wonder if the author just stayed with the idea that the character Lucus was pulling together the information surrounding him on his own and projecting this onto the key might have made a better ending. In this way, the focus would be on Lucus’s intelligent creativity of thought and the science of psychology instead of an outside technology. Keep in mind though, the story is quite good just the way it is.
I liked that all of the characters respected one another and could therefore become positive role models to readers. However, I also wonder if having realistic bad activity in characters might also help develop the story and more importantly add to the role models credibility. This would especially be true if the readers could see that they overcame the bad traits.
Bottomline, another very good read from Mr. Piatt, especially for the age group he intended.

You can really feel the emotional depth as the protagonist grapples with their mistakes and seeks redemption. The relationships they build along the way add another layer of complexity, showcasing how our connections with others can influence our paths.
The pacing is just right, with moments of tension that keep you hooked, but also those quieter, introspective moments that allow you to really connect with the character's feelings. The twists and turns are expertly crafted, making you rethink everything you thought you knew about the story.
In the end, it’s a powerful exploration of what it means to grow and change, and it leaves you with a lot to think about. If you’re into stories that make you feel and reflect on your own life. These books really made me think and do some self reflection as well. I loved how it really kept you second guessing. Overall I gave this whole trilogy 5 stars
