Third Earth: A YA Fantasy Adventure to the Dragon Planet
Her magic twisted by a curse, will Agnes be clever enough to avert civil war, or will the dragon planet descend into chaos—and claim her life?
Agnes is settling into her role as Second Earth’s Arch Mage after saving it from annihilation, when the dragon leader, Menneth, contacts her. Secret radicals threaten Third Earth and Menneth desperately needs her magic to expose them. A terrifying mission, but how can she say no to a dragon?
However, the mission soon becomes more complex than she can handle. Caught in the scheme of an evil mastermind, Agnes is stripped of her allies one by one—even her own magic betrays her. Alone and considered an enemy of dragonkind, the lives of her friends and the peace of Third Earth hang in the balance. Agnes must summon every ounce of courage to survive and alone fight the sinister dragon manipulator.
Third Earth is Book Three in the thrilling Arch Mage YA fantasy series that readers can’t put down. If you like magical creatures, intrigue, exhilarating adventures, and journeys of epic proportions, you’ll love Cami Murdock Jensen’s enthralling story.

Dragons are fun creatures to read about.
But not so much fun when they read about you and come after you. Other creatures and magical spells can also be a problem. From genies to giants, invisibility to invisible light, space-time travel, telepathy, telekinesis, telamedallion, transporting, transporting, translation and transmutation. It is all happening as a conspiracy that has been brewing for years almost destroys a planet to stop a young girl from telling the truth.

This author continues to surprise her readers by going above and beyond for them. Jensen truly out does herself with this continuation of the Mage series!!!! In this installment she gives us a wonderful view of distant worlds. The details are so amazing that you truly feel as though you are on the jent path with Agnes and her crew. Also, Agnes is maturing and becoming more comfortable or not with her magical gift. Sometimes a sixteen year old just wants too enjoy being a teenager. I definitely do not want spoil anything for future readers. I will say this, I cannot recommend this book enough. Jensen gives us new worlds, intrigue, and heartbreak!!!! And, that is just in the first few chapters. Once you think you have dialed in the plot....Jensen sends you on another ride. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up or gift it too someone that loves adventure. I was given an advanced copy of this book. I have given an honest review of this book.

It’s the courage to never give up and to keep trying. It’s a sentiment said more than one, but Arch Mage Agnes finds herself clinging to it in this latest journey. Knowingly walking into a trap, but unable to do otherwise to catch the enemy, Agnes once again answers the call to help another planet. However, this time the web is spun tighter than she realizes, and her weapon of truth that has always pointed her in the right direction turns against her in the worst way possible. The price is the unthinkable. It’s a personal dagger to her heart, one that she’s helpless to stop. It’d be easy for her to sit this one out. After all, everything she has done just causes her to lose more and leaving this battle is what most everyone is clamoring for her to do. For a minute she considers it. And I didn’t blame her. It wasn’t her fault. She shone in this journey as before. Others I admit disappointed me. No, broke my heart is a better description for what they did to her. That’s what added volumes to the heartache of this journey. At least if you’re putting your life on the line, to know those closest to you have your back is what keeps you going. Instead to be tossed aside by the one who has your heart and see it smashed into pieces before your eyes is enough to take the fight out of most. I wanted to see that person fight for her, and it killed me how easily he surrendered to the lies about her.
However, one of the many reasons we’ve come to love Agnes is she can’t hide who she is. So, the moment painstakingly passes with more than its share of tears and though she’s abandoned by most, she’s determined not to give up on them or on her original mission of uncovering the enemy. She’s a fighter through and through and relentless in finding a way to reclaim what’s hers. So she’ll face the battlefield again and try one more time and one more time after that and keep pushing forward until it’s enough. Because many times that’s the courage that wins the battlefield, and Agnes has shown she has plenty of that in her spirit.

Readers’ Comments
“This is an excellent fantasy adventure story with a cool protagonist named Agnes. I think anybody who enjoys books like Harry Potter will find this excellent. I suggest reading them in order, start with book 1. It helps!” Boy reader, aged 15
“I think it helps a lot if you read books like this in the right order. So I went back and read First Earth and Second Earth. I must say, the author is a good writer, and if ‘magic’ happen to be your thing, this set of books is for you. Agnes’ power is cool too and is important to the story. I think the first book is the best of the three, but this is excellent too.” Girl reader, aged 14
“Monsters, magic and mayhem! Cool book. I like that the characters, particularly the hero, grew a lot during the story. I think this is a sign of a good writer.” Boy reader, aged 15
“I love that this book was never boring and there was lots happening on every page. I also like that it was a mix of books: a fantasy, an adventure, a mystery, and even scary in parts.” Boy reader, aged 14
To Sum It Up:
‘A fast-paced, fantasy adventure for young adults. A red ribbon winner and highly recommended!’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

I wasn't sure what I expected from the third book in this series. But a planet full of dragons was definitely a welcome surprise! Of course, I loved the dragons briefly involved in the previous books, so I absolutely soaked up all of the dragons in this installment. (If you don't automatically love Bandlash, there's something wrong with you.) This book felt more complicated in its storyline than the last two, but that was something I really liked. The deeper intrigue, deceptions, and the politics of the dragons added another layer of interest to this part of the story. And, of course, the more we learn about the overarching enemy in this series, the more excited I get! I hope the rest of this series shows us a lot more of these dragons, because I would be sad to see them left behind!

The first half of the story feels very similar to the previous title. The story turns a bit dark in the middle followed by betrayals which result in a less than desirable ending: somewhat of a cliffhanger. A fantastic, huge battle royale fills the middle of the second half. Not a fulfilling ending but much better than what the middle hinted. I can only hope that future stories improve the circumstances.
Action-packed. Entertaining. Haunting. Scary. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.
I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.

The Magic in Magic Continues
Ms. Jenkins continues the story of Agnes as she grows into her powers. With new enemies introduced and an old enemy revealed, Agnes' truth power is needed more than ever. The characters continue to grow and become more alive. I can barely wait for the next book, or is that books upon books. I highly recommend this book.

*I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*
At first I found this one quite difficult to follow purely because it had been a bit of a wait between reading the second book and reading this one so it took me a while to remember what happened and who everyone was. I think more reminders for people who don't read the books immediately one after the other would have been nice. Overall it was a fast paced story with some interesting twists and bits that had me biting my nails in anticipation. It was a good continuation of some great ideas and I can't wait to see what happens in the fourth book.
