When it comes to reading books in a series I do prefer to read the series in order, as I feel that by starting out of order you are missing some very important pieces of the book. Nahia by Patricia Bossano is the third book in the series, but it was the first one for me to read. I am not a huge fan of fantasy stories and I can honestly say I have never read a book about Faeries. The closest I have come to reading anything about faeries is through the Disney stories of Peter Pan, sleeping Beauty, and Tinkerbell. I really didn’t pick up this book expecting to like it, but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Even if you are not a huge fan of fantasy I strongly urge you to give Nahia a chance, trust me you will like what you read.
Nahia starts off with the funeral of Nahia’s birth sister Celeste and how that impacts Nahia and the rest of the faeries. The story briefly talks about the relationship between the two and how it has affected Celeste’s offspring. As Nahia is the third book in the series, you know there is more to the relationship than what Patricia focuses on in this book. Although lacking in details the reader gets the idea behind these two’s relationship and how important it was.
Nahia is a book focused solely on Nahia and her various relationships with various characters throughout the story. This story while focused on relationships and how important of a role they play in our lives isn’t exactly what you would expect it to be. As you read through the book you will understand that comment more, but let me just leave you with the thought that things are not always as they seem even in a fantasy story, as Patricia does a masterful job of keeping you guessing as to what is to come as you turn the page.
No matter what genre I read I am not a big fan of varying view points. When the author’s shift the point of view in storytelling I often times have a harder time reading because I don’t always notice the shift in view. This holds true with Nahia, but that doesn’t take away from the story or how wonderfully it was told. Shifting viewpoints in story telling actually cause me to pay closer attention, as I find myself having to slow down so I am not missing anything. And trust me with Nahia, you don’t want to miss a word as you will fully enjoy the feisty main character and her many exploits.

What a fantastic ending to an incredible trilogy. I love the Basque setting. I adore the world-building. And I've grown to love the characters with all their flaws. Nahia's story connects the events of Faery Sight more closely to what was learned in Cradle Gift and brings everything together with a heart-stopping ending where nothing worked out as expected, but was still resolved in a wonderfully satisfying way.
There was only one small thing that I found strange, which is that right at the end, the author switches to first person narrative, which simply threw me out of the story because it was so unexpected. It was the only thing though. I blazed through the rest of this novel in two sittings, so I give it 4.5 stars.
I highly recommend this wonderful trilogy, which is exactly the type of novel I would have loved to read as a teen, back when I hated the YA genre for talking down to teens. This series does nothing of the sort. The characters are flawed, yet grow into people I could root for, and who I wanted to see succeed. I also love the greater scope of the characters' trajectories, which don't stop with first love but actually explore the broader outcomes of the characters' lives over time, and the consequences of their decisions and actions.

I just finished Nahia and what a wonderful story. Nahia is nonstop action with a lot of surprises. I really tried to guess how the book was going to end but I was unsuccessful. Patricia Bossano has a very good imagination which makes Nahia such a fun read. I was never bored with the story .
Nahia is the third book in the Faery Series and Patricia Bossano really ties the other two books together. I do think one could read each out of order and still have a very good experience.
Patricia Bossano’s writing style is very good and I am looking forward to her next book. I think Patricia has a bright future ahead of her.
I most highly recommend Nahia the reader will not be disappointed.
