I've reunited with my parents. But this is no time for a family reunion. The world is in ruins, and Cagliostro, the all-powerful demon mage, is on the brink of destroying the Monarchy. I can’t let that happen. To save humanity, I must stop him, but the odds are against me. Using my magical Armor would only reveal my position to the enemy, leaving me defenseless. With powerful vampires and demons standing in my way, and a traitor among us, the final battle between Light and Darkness will be my toughest challenge yet. I'm prepared to make the toughest sacrifice imaginable to save the world.
Edge of Light is the final book in this three-book supernatural Urban Fantasy series. If you're a fan of kick-ass heroines who face down demons, vampires, and shifters, you won't be able to put this thrilling adventure down.
Author Simone Pond is also known as Simone DeBlasio.
Edge of Light Armor of Magic Series, Book 3 By: Simone Pond Narrated by: Caitlin Kelly This is a great ending to a good series! I think this is the best book in the series. Good action, suspense, fantasy, touch of romance, and more. Enjoyed this book and series.
Full disclosure: I received this audio-book directly from the author as a gift, but that in no way affects this review.
In this third and final book in the trilogy, Fiona has been reunited with her long lost parents only to lose them again as she and the other Protectors of Light enter the embattled city of San Francisco, which has been taken over by the demon mage Cagliostros and his minions. They include vampires, shifters, other paranormal creatures, and humans bewitched by mind control.
Using what powers she has at her disposal including the logos, Fiona must battle all of these paranormal creatures while protecting the Sacred Scroll in her possession, but is there a traitor in her midst? Who to trust? Will she survive, and more importantly, will she save all of humanity, but to do so, will she lose people she loves most? Will the Monarchy be saved or will Cagliostros destroy it, too? Will the light overcome the dark?
Pond has written another series that features a strong female lead in Fiona Farrow (although she was a bit juvenile with her desire to lose her virginity). She is offset by a particularly evil character in Cagliostros. And plenty of ancillary characters, some of whom are decent, and others who are not.
Further, like her other series, she adds a subtle (or not-so-subtle) spiritual component. It is a battle between good and evil, between the dark and the light.
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of audio-books as they tend to lull me to sleep. The narrator, Caitlin Kelly, does a great job here, making each character come alive, varying the voices, even the male voices, so that the 'reader' can distinguish between each. On the other hand, audio-books seem to accentuate repetitive language, and there is some of that in this story.
I think I would enjoy re-reading the last two books in the trilogy it to get more of the nuances of the story as I may have missed a few things along the way. Thanks again, Simone, for the books.
Was awesome! Never tired great all the way through. Sorry to see the story end but loved the ending. Would highly recommend, if you love magic you will love all three of these books!!
Excellent read loved the development of the story and characters, the twists and turns that keep you guessing and who doesn't wish for semi happy ending's
I enjoyed reading this book and seeing how nicely Ms. Pond finished her trilogy.
I think Ms. Pond is the only author I have read that makes you feel completely opposite of how you think you would feel in regards to what happens to one of the characters. I was taken by complete surprise. Although, it was a refreshingly unique change. (Vague, yes. I think this makes sense if you've read it yet shouldn't spoil anything if you haven't.)
Edge of Light is the super exciting conclusion to the Armor of Magic series. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book and wondering how in the world Fiona and the gang were going to fix everything. I'm sad to see this series end, but I thought it was a great ending. I'm really excited to see what Simone Pond has up her sleeves next!
Will evil overcome light? Will Fiona be able to stand up to Castiaglo and bring the light and find her love Ascher and her parents? Pick up this fun read to find out
