Aber das Schlimmste steht Lily noch bevor: der Kampf gegen ihr Alter Ego Lillian und damit gegen sich selbst. Das Finale der Everflame-Trilogie.

I mean... wow.

This book was absolutely incredible and I'm so happy that I decided to pick up this series last month.

I absolutely adored getting to see Lily grow up and evolve over the course of this trilogy, as well as the other characters.

From beginning to end, this book kept me on my toes and there was so much that was explained and all my questions were answered in a way that actually left me satisfied. I am so sad that this series is over now, it's been such an amazing journey. UGH

The world building in this series is utterly fantastic and I cannot be more impressed.

I’ll give you everything I am. Everything but one part—the worst of me. That I’ll take with me to my grave.





After a bit of thought, I decided to write a single review for the entire trilogy, because, ironically, I can't seem to write a proper review when I truly loved a book.
Isn't that frustrating???

Anyway...
It's been a long time since I last read an entire series back to back, in a matter of days. I started Trial By Fire almost by chance, because I didn't know what to read next so I let my tbr shelf pick for me. I really didn't have any expectations for it, especially because I usually end up getting disappointed by a YA book that came out many years ago.
Boy was I surprised when I found out this wasn't the case.
It got me immediately and after I started, I couldn't stop reading. Lily is an incredible main character. She's probably became my favorite of the whole YA heroine scenario. yes, she's nothing but flawless, but she's also very passionate, selfless and charitable, which, in my book means the pros outweigh the cons.
I'm a very calm and patient person in real life and I'm used to keeping a cool head in front of adversities so I really related to the way she handled problems and was (mostly) reasonable most of the time.
I also couldn't have asked for better side characters even if I wanted to. I loved how easily (and a bit unrealistically) the whole gang came together and how easily people accepted the new reality they were thrown into (also a bit unrealistic but who really cares at this point).
The romance is heart-wrenching and , although it plays a big role in the story, it's never overwhelming. I appreciated the fact that Rowan and Lily were not one of those fictional couples that keep their positive or negative feelings for themselves creating useless drama and unecessary angst. Even the "love triangle" (love square?) thing is played out in the best way.
I read Angelini's Starcossed series a while ago and I remember liking it a lot, but the part I really loved was how friendship and family dynamics were shaped and it only got better with the Worldwalker trilogy.
I'll never get over how good of a team Lily and her friends were.
Also, Rowan, Caleb and Tristan slaying bad guys was the hottest thing ever.


Anyway, while the characters were some of the best I've ever read in a book of this genre, it's the plot that really sold this entire series for me. It's extraordinarily crafted, easily understandable, well written, full of shocking moments that make your heart run wild, and with an original magic system that made me wish this particular crucible witches, their mechanics and the whole stone business appeared in more books about witches and magic in general.



Can you believe it took me 6 years to find my new favorite trilogy??


ACTUAL RATINGS 50000000/5

[Ashley Daviau · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the last book in this series was excellent but this one has it beat by leaps and bounds! This series has quickly become one of my all time favourite series involving witches. It's such a unique take on witches, I've never read anything quite like it before!

There is non stop action the whole way through and so many twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. Some actually had my jaw dropping I was so surprised. This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish!

I really loved seeing how much each of the characters evolved over the course of the series. Especially Lily, it was so thrilling to watch her become the Witch she was meant to be! And I have a special place in my heart for Breakfast, I just love him as a character.

It's quite rare that a book leaves me feeling 100% satisfied. Normally there's at least one tiny thing that I'd change or a question unanswered. But this book ended the series on such a satisfying note. It left nothing unanswered and no loose ends were left to leave you wondering!

[Colleen Houck]

The end of this series was as awesome as the beginning. I loved Toshi! He's so cool. The entire cast of characters are really great actually. The final battle was compelling and I loved the different creatures and how Lily managed to wrangle them all. If you love witches then this is the series for you.

[bridget · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars for this witchin' series (lol get it witchin')

This series was just so much fun, it was easy to read and captured my attention right off the bat. And that ending was so EPIC AND PERFECT, I'm still thinking about it weeks later.

Let's start off with the characters shall we?

Lily
Lily was quite the complex character. She was fickle but headstrong, stubborn and loyal but at the same time she was so confused even though she hid it well. I felt like she was a well thought out character and Angelini did a great job fleshing her out completely. But that doesn't mean I like Lily the whole time. She made me pretty mad especially when it came to Rowan. She so completely misunderstood him the entire time in this book while thinking Tristan was basically a saint when we found out it was kind of the opposite. Although Rowan made his mistakes along the way and I can definitely understand Lily's wariness of him after he took her willstones from her and left her in a cage (das pretty fucked up man probs not something u should do to ur gf). But in the end Lily was a super strong female and got her shit together to save everyone, not just her or her people but literally everyone possible and I really admire that selflessness.

Rowan
Ugh he is just a wonderful book boyfriend tbh. But wow what the hell Rowan you almost lost me after the second book! I was so disgusted with what he did to Lily by believing her to be like Lillian and trapping her without her willstones, that was beyond fucked up and gave me some Tamlin vibes tbh. But then he managed to redeem himself in this book and I started to believe in him again as the right person for Lily. He was a very steady character and I really appreciate that, especially when everyone else was basically flailing about trying to get their shit together for the inevitable war. But wow can we just talk about how he took the fall for Tristan????? Like I couldn't believe it, never saw it coming when the other Tristan showed Lily the memory of the agreement Rowan and (Lily's) Tristan came to. That was some shit that Rowan was willing to let go of Lily and protect her from afar because she hated him while Tristan finally got her back (even though he clearly never deserved her). Tbh it made me really happy that Rowan was still the good guy in the end bc I didn't want him to turn out to be as bad as he seemed.

Toshi
Honestly I did not know what to think of Toshi at first. Was he good? Was he bad? Was he hot? I would say the answer was yes to all three. He definitely jumped back and forth between sides trying to figure out if Lily was the right one or if Grace was. But he figures his shit out and I'm glad he did because he was a pretty instrumental character to this finale. Also he was 64 years old????? Like what the actual fuck??? But also I hope I look like I'm in my early 20s when I'm actually 60 so that would be cool (get on it science).

The Coven
I don't mean to seem like I don't care about the coven as much bc I lumped them all together but honestly there's so many of them and I only care about a couple of them. Breakfast was hilarious as always and I still love him but his lady (as he calls her) I found a little unnecessary and forgetful. Then there was Lillian's Tristan which was an okay guy, I wish he had been the one to die and not the real Tristan... Then of course there's Caleb and I honestly hope he left Lily's coven after everything because he deserves to be free and not feel like he'll get controlled again. Overall I love the coven and the idea of them all working for and with Lily is great because her support system was so important to have.

I just really love this series still. It was so interesting and had such a unique mix of fantasy and sci-fi. I really enjoyed everything from the characters to the plot to the writing style. The plot was different than most things I've read and it held its own. And omg that ending made my heart SO HAPPY. It was very satisfying but still made me curious and craving more which doesn't happen often with the finale of a series. I hope Angelini writes more because I will definitely read more of her stuff.

It was good, man. Absolute perfection.
Although, I didn't had any hope for the two lilies. I thought they'd both die by the end.
I am really satisfied by this last instalment. Absolute readgasm.
That twist from the start. Every one wanted to know what the hell happened to Lily and her claims. And that WOAH!! ANOTHER CITY.. A WITCH. WHAAAT.
THE SOLUTION WAS THERE. Every thing was explained and.... Rowan, I so hated him in the last book and now... that I know who indeed suggest the plan of destroying Lily's stone and put her in a cage, I am not so pissed at our... handsome Head of Mechanics.
*Sigh*
The turns and twists of events were perfect and the ending was a blast...literally.

I think Toshi is cute. ehehehe
CAN'T WAIT! TO read the next chef-d'oeuvre of Josephine.
Rowan and Lily
RIP to Tristan #1 - kinda expected that he was still alive. But, I don't care... readers will know why.
selfish ass...well dead ass.

GOODBYE FIREWALKER!

[Kelly (Diva Booknerd) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Worldwalker Trilogy was enthralling, a blend of fantasy with a science fiction flourish. Character driven, the series follows the storyline of Lily who was summoned to a world by her namesake, a witch who commands her world with cruelty and genocide. Although Lily has now gained a greater understanding of who Lillian is, it's apparent that the two share little more than namesakes. Both Lily and Lillian were wonderfully written, distinct and refined. In Trial by Fire, the romance between Lily and Rowan felt incredibly awkward, given his connection to Lillian being her former head Mechanic and lover. Firewalker and Witch's Pyre sees the dynamics of their relationship change. Lily continues to engage with Lillian telepathically with Rowan concerned that Lily is being manipulated, when seemingly he also aspires to use the young woman for his own agenda. Against Lillian.

Lily is a relatable and reliable character, deserving of a love interest with charisma and charm. The romance between Lily and Rowan was dubious. Rowan lacks passion and personality, his character felt incredibly rigid and although I do enjoy a stoic love interest, Rowan didn't develop as a character and I couldn't find a sense of who he was apart from being contrived.

I adored Lillian. Lillian was tenacious and ambitious. She posed her own series of ulterior motives, but through Rowan's lack of trust and feeling of deception, she was painted as the villain. I was elated as a reader to see Lily using her own intuition and not allowing herself to be affected by Rowan and his resentment. All too often, the inexperienced protagonist falls victim to the manipulations of her love interest and seeing Lily confront Rowan was a breath of fresh air. Go Lily!

The friendship between Lily and Tristan is strained, but with the introduction of Tristan's best friend Breakfast and his new girlfriend Una, provided a lightness throughout the storyline. Breakfast and Una were enchanting. Breakfast is compassionate and gentle, while Una prepares herself for battle, Rowan shares Lily's true identity with her friends despite her wishes. While Lily's newly found status justifies why they each feel an attraction to protect Lily, I hadn't expected Lily's friends to be accepting or for Rowan to enlist their aide. If you've just been told your formerly frail friend is an influential witch, you would expect a little more disbelief.

What I absolutely adored was the world building throughout the series, so wonderfully vivid. I enjoyed the contrast between Lily and Lillian's worlds, as varied as the two women themselves. Sadly Rowan's Native heritage isn't explored beyond the concept of Spiritwalking, as taught to Lily by a Native Shaman. The romance felt dubious and the relationship between Lily and Rowan was incredibly insincere but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Josephine Angelini is a wonderful author, blending fantasy and science fiction seamlessly into a captivating storyline. Vivid world building, fierce female characters and when all too often young adult authors tend to unnecessarily complicate themes of parallel worlds, The Worldwalker Trilogy is effortless and engaging. Highly recommended.

[Siobhan Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

The third and final installment in the Worldwalker trilogy ends with an explosive bang, and I'm left feeling bereft and in dire need of another Lily and Rowan fix. What a truly amazing, imaginative series. If you are a fan of Josephine's Starcrossed series and you haven't picked this one up yet, you need to right now! In my opinion, this series is more original and better written than Starcrossed (and I loved that series, too. Lucas. Yum.)

I've been blown away by the world building and creativity of this series. It has been carefully plotted and expertly executed, and although the plot is complex, it has been skillfully built and interwoven alongside the romance, so it never felt difficult to grasp. The alternate realms and the witches jumping between dimensions are well described and I was never confused over anything that happened.

Characterization is strong and Lily, in particular, is a fantastic character. She has grown so much from the first book while remaining true to herself. She is a true role model, and someone young girls can look up to. And she does all this without being a badass ninja. She uses her intellect to strategize and compassion underlines every decision she makes.

I was devastated at the turn of events at the end of the last book and was secretly hoping that all wasn't as it appeared to be. It wasn't, just not in the way I imagined. Lily is hurting, and when Rowan makes a reappearance she wants nothing to do with him, which was completely understandable. But I didn't understand how they never spoke about what happened. How she never questioned him over his apparent betrayal until the very end. Lily has never struck me as the type to bury her head in the sand, but she did here. To be fair, they were fighting to save the world, so I let it pass.

It's obvious that Rowan still really loves her and he never stops protecting her so it was hard to stay mad at him. I've been crazy about Rowan since book one and that didn't waver here. He is definitely being added to my book boyfriend list.

The reason this is a 4-star review and not a 5-star one is mainly because the romance was virtually non-existent, and anyone that has read my own books or reads my reviews will know that I need my injection of romance to really connect with a book. I understand and accept that it wouldn't have made sense for them to reconcile in the first part of the book because there were justifiable reasons why they were apart, but they only got back together at the 94% mark, and then we saw nothing of them together as a couple and that really teed me off. I hate when authors wait until the very end to resolve a love conflict and then finish the book without giving any real sense of relationship closure.

That brings me nicely to the other reason I didn't rate this 5-star. The ending is explosive and it's been building up to this epic battle the entire book, and those scenes were amazing. Then it ends and we have the weirdest epilogue ever. Going back to Reba and Miller? What the heck? What happened to the thirteen cities, the Outlanders, the Woven, how did Lily and Rowan get their relationship back on track? What does the new world look like? I feel like it was missing a chapter or two at the end which is needed to bring proper closure. I'm left feeling like things are still hanging (even though the main conflict has been resolved.)

But overall, this was a great finish to an incredible series. It's definitely going to be one of those series that I re-read, and one I will recommend to my own readers.

This review will be posted on my blog in due course. http://myyanabookobsession.com

Fantastic!
Parallel universe, magic, monsters, good vs. evil, warriors, battle, formidable villain and relentless heroine...everything I love in one story; I enjoyed every minute of it.
In this last instalment, Lily Proctor had to commandeer groups of warriors who didn’t get along because they had different backgrounds.They had to set aside their differences, because faced with a villain that has been in power for over a century and still devising new ways to cause pain, there was no other alternative. It paid off, they defeated the cruel witch rid their world of evil.
Five stars! It was a great read.

[Giselle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good ending and a satisfying action-packed one. I liked it enough, but I felt something was missing. Maybe I just wanted to know if the Restricted became free and if all the Outlanders and different Woven kind could leave peacefully and in harmony. I kind of wanted to see Lily take to the dark side and Rowan and her friends bring her back but that was just for my imagination and entertainment.

[Karen Barber · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was always going to be a tough one to really enjoy because it was obvious that for things to be resolved appropriately, someone would have to pay the price.
Lily has found herself taken by the Hive. She learns that things in this alternate world are very different, but also comes to realise that she might just have found the key to sorting out the problems she faces. While mourning those who haven't made it, Lily has to accept that she has difficult decisions to make. Not everyone agrees with her plans, but she has the courage of her convictions.
As the book progresses it is clear that we are building to a fairly substantial battle. Angelini doesn't disappoint in this respect, though it seemed to take its time coming and then actually Peter out more quickly than I expected.
Suffice to say, we are left with the feeling that things have been sorted out by the time we get to the end though it might have been nice to learn a little more about the set-up.

Meine Meinung

Aus jetziger Sicht ist es kaum zu glauben, aber diese Serie und ich hatten ganz und gar keinen guten Start. Nachdem mir der erste Band so gar nicht gefallen hatte, habe ich schon mit dem Gedanken gespielt, die Reihe abzubrechen, mich dann aber aus Neugier doch dagegen entschieden. Zum Glück, denn die Fortsetzung hat mir ungleich besser gefallen. Ich habe sehr gehofft, dass der Abschlussband dieses Niveau halten würde, und wurde alles in allem nicht enttäuscht.

Der Wiedereinstieg ist mir ein bisschen schwer gefallen, weil der zweite Band doch schon ein bisschen her war und ich mich nicht mehr an alles und jeden erinnern konnte. Allerdings baut die Autorin in den ersten Kapiteln auf elegante Weise kleine Rückschauen ein, sodass sich diese Probleme schnell gelegt haben. Wir sind von Anfang an mitten im Geschehen und auch im weiteren Verlauf kommt keine Sekunde Langeweile auf. Ich fand den Roman wunderbar fesselnd und unterhaltsam, einfach perfekt für ein verregnetes Wochenende. Zwischen den ganzen spannenden und actionreichen Szenen hätte ich mir fast noch ein paar mehr ruhige, emotionale Momente gewünscht, aber das ist wirklich nur ein kleiner Kritikpunkt.

Das furiose und dramatische Finale hat meine Erwartungen ebenfalls erfüllt, obwohl ich mit dem Schicksal einer Figur nicht ganz glücklich war. Die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Lily und Rowan spielt in diesem Band eine wesentlich kleinere Rolle als in den beiden Vorgängern, was mich aber gar nicht so sehr gestört hat.

Der Schreibstil der Autorin hat mir ebenfalls gut gefallen, der Roman liest sich schön leicht und flüssig und ich konnte mir alles gut vorstellen. Außerdem ist mir positiv aufgefallen, dass die ansonsten eher ernste Stimmung immer wieder durch witzige Momente und Dialoge aufgelockert wird.

Mit Lily als Protagonistin hatte ich am Anfang so meine Schwierigkeiten, inzwischen ist sie mir jedoch sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Sie hat im Laufe der Reihe eine enorme Entwicklung durchgemacht und ist zu einer starken Anführerin geworden. Die Autorin stellt sehr eindrücklich dar, wie sie mit Schuldgefühlen und Trauer zu kämpfen hat, aber trotzdem nicht aufgibt. Obwohl sie oft in Versuchung kommt, ihre Macht zu missbrauchen, schafft sie es, sich Mitgefühl und Herzensgüte zu bewahren. Ich finde es wirklich schade, mich schon von ihr verabschieden zu müssen.

Fazit

Eine spannende und kurzweilige, alles in allem sehr gelungene Fortsetzung! Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Projekt von Josephine Angelini.

"Only Lily stood alone. Waiting to burn."

What a wonderful conclusion to a well done series. All the twists and turns this one takes, it isn't until the last 90% of the novel that everything begins to come to an end. But that isn't to say that the first part is all boring as they work and build up and get all the players in their spots. It was wonderful to be back with Rowan and Tristan, Juliet and Una, Breakfast and Lily. Even Lillian and Carrick were wonderful distractions to the story as it all came down to the wire.

And the things we finally find out! The conclusion is surprising and not one I saw coming at all. I loved it!

[Feyre · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich kann leider keine volle Punktzahl geben... Ich liebe Lily, Rowan und all die anderen Charaktere. Ich liebe die Welt(en) der Geschichte. Womit ich mich absolut nicht anfreunden konnte und das habe ich schon vermutet, als ich das Ende des zweiten Romans gelesen hatte, war der neue Handlungsstrang und -ort. Es passte für mich leider einfach nicht. *seufz*
Das Ende war dann wieder total super, auch wenn teilweise ein wenig überstürzt, aber alles in allem sehr gut gelungen.

You know when I finish a book and you're super excited for the next one, or the series ended and you feel complete.... Did not feel that with this one. I was confused at the pacing and even some of the directional choices. I'll get a full review later on the blog. But yeah, didn't entirely like this.


Fire walker & Witches Pyre Review


I'm lumping these two books together because I read them both very quickly, one right after the other, and I feel that they should have been one book not two. I am only giving 2 stars for both books. And here is why. Obviously, I didn't like it. Lily, in book one was morally straight and knew what was right and wrong and did not do what she thought was wrong. Book two there was so much grey area in her thinking her character was getting muddled. Book three, it got a bit better and she did grow a bit into a somewhat decent person, but she still really annoyed me in her decisions. Rowan...UGH Rowan, your name promised that you would be a hard A, but sweet man who is tender and loving and devoted. Oh how you proved me wrong. Again, in book one, he was pretty good. I was rooting for him and Lily to make everything okay. But he kind of turned into a douche bag half way through and very condescending to Lily, which I did not appreciate. Their "romance" felt forced and I didn't see the connection between the two. yes there was attraction but the emotion from the two wasn't there. And that could be from the way it was written.
Which comes to reason number 2 why I didn't like the last two books.
IT was way to fast. It caused the interactions between the characters and their decisions too forced and not organic. They had to choose this so they can move the story along. That's no way to move a story along. It was hard to care for any of the supporting characters, and I think it was due to the size of the book verses how many people we were introduced to. By no means does an author need to limit how many people the introduce in their books. All I'm saying is that if you want to keep our focus on a few people, as in less than 5, then keep the focus on those few. IF you want to introduce more characters and want us to care about them, give the reader some time to get to know, fully, who they are and how they feel and so on, make the book longer so we spend more time with them. So if one of them dies, we actually care!
The wording and phrasing was also strange. I feel a thesaurus was used in some chapters, but not all, and the author didn't know when to throw in more complex words and when to not. I felt it was stuck between a lower YA novel and a higher one. For example, in the same book, we have a phrase "You go from happy to sad very fast" and "...Like a visual palimpsest". Okay, I don't know how many of you know what a "palimpsest" is, but I didn't know what it was till the end of last year, due to an adult fiction I book. But the average YA, who is the target audience for this series, probably won't know what it is. And yet, we have that, and then "happy to sad". That could have been phrased a whole lot better.
Now with all that said, I did enjoy the full story. The premise of it makes sense and I loved that it was based around alternate universes and the choices we make. Very cool and awesome, and very Doctor Who-y which is always good. But the meat of the books were sometimes hard to get through. 2 stars for each book and hopefully Angelini's other books are better.

Ich habe eine gefühlte Ewigkeit gebraucht dieses Buch zu beenden, was aber viel mehr daran lag, dass ich einfach in einer sehr tiefen Leseflaute steckte :D

Ich vermute mal ich habe sie hiermit überwunden, denn die zweite Hälfte des Buches hat mich so stark gefesselt, ich konnte einfach nicht mehr aufhören zu lesen. So viele Dinge haben sich aufgeklärt und dieses Buch ist einfach mit so viel Liebe und Emotionen geschrieben, man fühlt die Geschichte einfach nur und das ist so schön!

Es war der perfekte Abschluss für eine wunderbare und spannende Geschichte.
Ich werde mich noch sehr gerne an sie erinnern!

*My Thoughts*

Witch's Pyre is the third and final installment in author Josephine Angelini's Worldwalker trilogy. Witch's Pyre picks up right where Firewalker ended. Lily Procter, her alt-world sister Juliet, her alt-world mechanics Tristan & Caleb, friends Breakfast and Una have been dumped off at a place called Bower City by the Hive. They are the only survivors of a cross-country journey that saw fierce battles, painful losses, and an even more painful betrayal that shook Lily's courage and determination to the core.

2.5 but rounding to a three as my distraction and inability to pick this up throughout the week may have affected my overall enjoyment. I mean, maybe not. But I'm willing to give Angelini the benefit of the doubt.

WITCH'S PYRE had some pretty good moments but overall I don't think this series ever came close to reaching the awesome that was book one.

[Jeninne · Rating 2 out of 5]

I definitely tried with this book, but as someone who found the last book to be lackluster, this third book came off as muddled, nonsensical, and confusing.

For me, this is a trend with Angelini as an author. Her books typically start out relatively strong, and crash and burn by the end.

At least in this she's consistent.

Two stars.
