Book Six:
I've just finished Book Six of the Dark Gate Angels, which is funny, as I could only find an ebook version with 4 books to the Series &, considering what I'm reading has 10 books, that's a huge difference!
But, as I wrote in the notes, most of the books seem to consist of the Dark Gate Angels fighting the enslaved Orcs, along with the ancient female Orc, Grok, who is determined to enslave the Elf, Anabelle.
This story ended with a partial victory, in that Grok was stopped, even though the Dark Lord is still plotting his evil stuff, so I guess I won't know what's going to happen next, until I've read Book Seven: 'End of the Beginning', to find out more!
Once I have read it, I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think of this next episode in these very kick#ss adventures! Lol

Book Seven:
A word of advice:
Whatever you do, DON'T read the beginning of Chapter 4 while eating breakfast - especially a cooked breakfast! Lol
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Books 8 & 9:
The Dark Gate Angels have been tasked with making sure that the Dark One is finally dead & gone!
Quelle Surprise!
Guess who's still clinging on with his fingernails?
And guess who has to travel through Hell to search for him? Lol

Book 10:
Well!
I just finished the complete series &, if you saw any liquid on my face, I assure you it's just hot here, in wet & windy Wales!
I am NOT crying, I assure you!
Nope.
Not even a little bit!
Why are my eyes, nose & cheeks red?
erm . . . . . .
It's allergies!
Yup!
Lots & Lots of allergies . . .
honestly, guv! Lol
This final book of the Dark Gate Angels came together in ways that you might expect, with a book filled with fallible heroes.
With some disasters.
With crazy, last-minute heroics that had me grating my teeth, while said liquid fell from my eyes.
Let's be honest, I blubbered like a baby, at the loss of certain characters &,, NO, I'm NOT going to say who, as I really hate it when people kiss & tell, so to speak!
As I reviewed each of these 10 books in the Dark Gate Angels series, I've been giving a steady 4 out of 5 stars for each one as, although I loved them, they were, after all written. for a rather younger audience than myself (I'm now 64, going on 12)!
But, this final book in the series made up for that, in spades, showing a depth of emotional maturity in our characters that, although present in each book, hadn't fully matured until this final book - which, of course, makes perfect sense to me, having travelled that road, myself.
I won't lie. There were a few times that yet another major battle made me sigh a little - but that's because I'm at a time in my life where I've already lived through countless battles, in fact, am battling right now, myself, so I'm over enjoying that constant fight against everything.
But this didn't detract from the message of this final book, and I read that, with an almost sad sense, that the majority of all of this should really be behind me, now.
All I can keep repeating, though, is that this was a surprisingly poignant feeling for me, as each chapter of this final book brought things to a conclusion.
I'm so very glad that I decided to read this series.
But what about the next one?
To be honest with you, I'm really not sure what to read next. I'm going through a rather bad patch with my health right now, and am having to also deal with changes to my ability to even survive, financially, as our present Gov are hitting us Chronically I'll/Disabled, with one monetary blow after another.
This is putting a huge strain on my peace of mind, my physical health, & my emotional stability, & so my reading habits are all over the place.
I think, as I've had pain keeping me company all night, yet again, I'll just finish this and, once I've had what sleep my body will allow me, I'll decide, then, what to read.
So, until I catch you on the flip side, I'll bid you a, brief, adieu!
