The Brilliant Dark: The Realms of Ancient, Book 3
The highly anticipated final installment in Beiko's thrilling YA fantasy trilogy
It's been seven years since the Denziens, an unseen people with elemental powers, were unmasked, and seven years since Roan Harken and Eli Rathgar disappeared into the Brilliant Dark.
Marked by Darklings and Death alike, Saskia is a mechanically minded Mundane, raised by Barton and Phae on daring stories about Roan Harken. But the world Roan left behind is in turmoil. The Darklings now hang in the sky as a threatening black moon, and with the order-maintaining Elemental Task Guard looking to get rid of all Denziens before they rebel, Saskia's only option is to go into the Brilliant Dark and bring Roan back.
But nothing is ever that simple.
The Brilliant Dark is the final, thrilling chapter in this series about gods, monsters, and the people who must decide if they're willing to pay the ultimate price to protect the family they found . . . in a world that may not be worthy of saving.

7 years have passed since Roan and Eli set out to the Brilliant Dark to wake Ancient in hopes of saving the world. 7 whole years, who knows how time passes in the underworld, but after 7 long years the world doesn’t seem any closer to Saved. While things were always tense in the previous two books and had the air of doom and gloom, things really seem hopeless with The Brilliant Dark.
Denizens are no longer hidden, forced out in the open because of *events*, the regular folks have staged an uproar and have forced Denizens into housing blocks and have essentially stripped them of all rights and in many circumstances, humanity. Phae and Saskia have moved on as best as they know how but without their friends, they’re both shadows of their former selves and have merely been existing rather than living. Phae is content to carry on this way, but Saskia knows that something is happening. Blame it on the visions or the moths or simply just that feeling, she knows that business in the underworld isn’t completely finished.
While I loved each installment in this phenomenal trilogy, the title of Favorite goes solidly to this third and final book. I loved how different it was from the previous two and I don’t mean in terms of the seven year time jump, but in terms of the dystopian world the characters now live in. Everything has changed — from the characters to the world and everything in between, and this book is a perfect reflection of that. While much of The Brilliant Dark does give off an air of hopelessness, there is still a tiny sliver of hope, thanks to Saskia. I loved her character in Children of the Bloodlands, and I’m so glad that she was the main focus in this third book.
This series will definitely be making its way to my re-read shelf, which doesn’t happen all that often. With its incredible mix of magic and mythology, solid characters, and brilliant world-building, this trilogy is certainly one I’ll be recommending the heck out of to any and everyone.

What a great conclusion to the story! I felt the stakes rise, and I loved seeing Roan's and Eli's struggle through the Bloodlands to hold on to themselves and each other. Saskia and the Moth Queen came to their roles beautifully too, the old MCs slowly giving way to the new generation. I can't say much more without spoiling the plot, but I 'll say that the final few pages seemed to be simplistic to me, especially compared with all the tension and heartbreak that came before them, but oh well... At least it was a believable ending to this story.

I really loved the first two books in this series, it was such an original story. I didn’t like this one nearly as much, Roan and Elijah weren’t in it nearly as much as I wanted them to be.
I wish there was more to their story. It’s been a while since I read it but I was really disappointed with how everything turned out.
I didn’t like the main characters of this one, there wasn’t much of a dynamic between them as I wouldn’t like to have seen.
Overall it was a good series but this last book ruined it for me

Review
The way the characters developed was interesting as was seeing how the Elemental Task Force formed and technically controlled everything. The way some things mirrored WW2 was a bit disturbing though, and honestly quite unrealistic. People, especially people in Europe take so much effort to not repeat those acts of discrimination and I can't imagine for one second that every human in the world would hate magic. I'd sooner think most people would be scared but curious. And no longer as scared when they started to understand. Not talking about our current political climate because the events in this book are incited in 2013 and thus more near the start of the current movements. Something like this could've very well halted or reversed part of its course.
Something else that stood out to me at the start of the book is people saying the religion of the denizens was wrong because it was matriarchal. As is its leadership structure. Ancient seems to be matriarchal as well as are the darklings (representations of negative things, it's not even called evil as far as I've noticed).
It was a fun little twist that the time runs so differently in the realms of Ancient.
The ending felt a bit rushed to me though (takes place within less than 60 pages, probably closer to 40). The extension of Saskia's character was nicely done as was the bigger role of the Moth Queen. She finally got a voice too.
This book dived pretty well into superiority complex and how it's perceived. Some of the humans tell us the denizens think they are superior when they themselves actually act superior in trying to oppress and control them because they are supposed to be dangerous not really realizing these acts can cause huge parts of said danger. Oppressed groups will sooner or later rebel against the regime they're a part of.
I also don't really believe the entire world would react the same to the revelation of people with elemental powers. I can see it happening among certain groups that those with powers would be revered and respected instead of oppressed and hunted.
All in all a solid conclusion to the series, but a lot of it isn't fully thought out for a fantasy set in our world.

I'm actually feeling crushed. RTC
March 14, 2022
I won't have spoilers for this book, but there are some for Children of the Bloodlands.
The only real knocks I can give against this are, I took too long to get back to the series so it was a bit challenging remember where I left off and this book is quite different from the other 2. Roan is no longer the main protagonist (meaning the majority of the book isn't in first person) and the world is ending. . . yup. This could be for better of for worse, because this one definitely decided to be "different" - take that as a positive or a negative.
Dystopia everywhere, even in little old Winnipeg. The series does take some getting into and hilariously where I read the second entry "Children of the Bloodlands" last year during lock down and noted that at least the plague thing was thankfully just a subplot, part 3 of this book literally is titled "Corona" (manic laughter). It doesn't involve the afore mentioned cinder plague though. . . so don't AT the author.
Saskia makes for an interesting change of pace however. Her attitude is similar to Roan, but her skill set is different and she's dealing with a very different landscape than Roan; Roan's world was more familiar to ours up until this point. This book goes more into the lore of the gods and sees society turning on the Denizen's because they are different and have different powers. Somewhat similar to an X-men type of idea. All of the returning characters are no longer children, and in some cases (Phae and Netti in particular) they are former shadows of themselves, having been marred by having to adapt to a changing world and also thinking that the sacrifices of Eli and Roan in the previous book were in vain and that they're all screwed.
One characteristic remains however, that the action sequences are well written and riveting and will keep you wolfing through the pages as fast as you can to see the turn out.

The Brilliant Dark [ECW Press], is Manitoba writer S. M. Beiko’s third book in her The Realms of Ancient YA trilogy.
This series is about gods and monsters, people with magical powers … and, oh, the end of the world.
The dark, shadow moon, that has hovered in a stationary position above planet Earth, has recently moved. This is an ominous sign that the final days of (What else?) “life as we know it” have begun.
Seven years ago, seven years before the shifting of the dark moon, a heroic pair — Roan and Eli — plunged into a rabbit hole, so to speak, and crossed over to the Other Side, to the Darkness.
Now, in this novel, seventeen-year-old Saskia (Saskatchewan) Allan Das must travel into the Brilliant Dark and attempt to locate and rescue Roan and Eli, and — oh yes — save the world.
Interestingly — for this old scribbler anyway — in this novel the end of the world is about to occur in Canada, as it were, not the USA where so many times the possibility of obliteration of humanity has commenced.
The focal setting of Brilliant Dark is Winnipeg, Manitoba and, of course, the Dark Side, the Underworld etc. — standard fantasy locations.
It gladdened my heart to learn — considering I hadn’t yet read the previous books in the trilogy — that some of the Darkness spread from the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, my home province.
An aside: Oftentimes during furious winter storms howling ashore from the North Atlantic, I’ve felt like … like, this time … surely, it will be the end of the world.
Listen, Brilliant Dark is fabulous reading, a novel chock-a-block with all the ingredients of fun-fantasy. So, join Saskia as she enters the Darkness in search of her lost friends …
… oh, and the realms of the Ancient.
Ready. Set. Down the rabbit hole.

The Brilliant Dark is the third and final installment in The Realm of Ancients series by S. M. Beiko. In this last chapter of the series, the story is organized around Saskia, a Mundane who has been raised by Denizens. The Mundanes are the Muggles of Beiko’s world, but they are no longer in ignorance of the powers of the Denizens. This is our world revealed to have been created by the Ancient, a god whose silence has driven the world to the brink of disaster since a black moon rose in the sky and a black illness plagued the planet.
The five sister goddesses whose followers have powers derived from the elements are gone and the young Saskia believes she can fix things. She is a wizard with computers and technology. She was raised by Phae and Barton, from the deer and rabbit families of Denizens. The Mundanes are led by a genocidal fanatic who is seeking the pretext and power to destroy all Denizens and Saskia goes to work for him, hoping to exploit his project to save the Denizens and the world.
I loved The Brilliant Dark and the bold courage and determination of Saskia, especially when she finds the people she admires have lost their way. She does not give up on them, though, and hopes they can remember who they really are. There are deep themes about the power of regret, forgiveness, and memory. There is the power of narrative, or the Narrative, and whether it can be changed. There are many big ideas to think about. Sometimes, the ambition to explain the big concepts of myth-making and narrative submerges the story, but then it comes back to itself again, much like our heroes.

The Brilliant Dark is the third book in The Realms of Ancient trilogy. It follows Saskia in a world formed after the Denizens and Roan Harken and the turmoil they have left the world in. Saskia fights for her friends and herself as the author weaves another beautiful and deep world through the stories of the past and the stories of the present.
Beiko is a wonderful world builder and each time I find myself surprised at how much more there can be to build out and create, but she does it so well. The world build at the beginning of the series was a lot to take in, but if you know it is coming you are able to really get into the depth Beiko can show the readers. This final installment did not disappoint.
What I love about Beiko's series is the attention to the detail, there is so much world building, so much character development, and so many characters overall. The characters are all ages, races, cultures, they change and adapt as needed and they are diversity at its finest in a series. I appreciate the amount of time the author put into this.
The story is full of twists and turns and darkness and emotion that you feel like you are right there with Saskia, like you left when you were with Roan, trying to figure it all out and make a change for the better.
Overall this was a great book, and if you have already read the first two, this ending is just what you need. Beiko's story is so much more than just a regular young adult novel, it is an epic fantasy with YA elements, but not the ones you normally find. If you like fantasy, and the worlds that they build, this is a great series and I recommend it strongly.

7 years after Roan and Eli leapt into the unknown, the world is in shambles. Denizens are no longer a secret and the mundanes they once protected have turned against them.
This was the weakest instalment of the trilogy. It felt like when kids are playing a game and they just keep making random twists to prolong the game they are playing a bit longer. It was far too long. I mostly just finished it to hear how it ended, I didn’t enjoy getting to the ending.

This is the third book of The Realms of Ancient trilogy. I had not read the first two but was able to follow along with no problem. If anything, I want to go back and catch-up on the other two books. The world-building was amazing and the characters were well written. Definitely a thrilling read!

There were parts of this series that dragged, particularly in book 2, but I am SO impressed overall with the world and lore building! So imaginative. There were so many twists and turns, and the story was so unpredictable, but in the best of ways. This installment was so full of wonderful elements, and character development. Great storytelling overall!

Well, I'd say my final reaction to the series is lukewarm. Part of me started to wonder about the rest of the universe beyond our solar system. Overall, it was okay but wouldn't recommend it over other outstanding fantasy.

A STUNNING conclusion to the Realms of Ancient trilogy. Beiko has written a truly epic story that has beautifully stuck the landing. I loved this book.
