The Keeper Chronicles: The Complete Trilogy: The Keeper Chronicles, Book 1-3

Book 3 complete! And it was delightfully epic! It took me longer than I wanted to get through it due to my crazy schedule, but I did it.I really enjoyed Sini as a character. Normally, I'm all about male main characters. Females are not my first choice (with exceptions), because finding a female I like is hard. Sini was a great choice for a lead and her perspective and powers were intriguing and unique. She was gifted, but still made mistakes. She was humble, yet incredible in her talents. She had a good balance.Though Will holds my heart and I would've have loved to see some of the scenes of this book from his point of view, I enjoyed the story very much.This is a great fantasy setting and JA Andrews is an excellent writer. I could picture the scenes so well and she does a wonderful job giving character development and her world is beautifully established. This one had more action in it and also broke my heart more than once. If I hadn't been at work, I would've have cried for sure. I certainly felt the emotions well up.What's so great about these books is that I still got the first characters that I loved from the start, but the adventure in each one is always fresh. It has all the elements of enjoyable fantasy, but in a unique way.There are dragons, elves, dwarves, magic users, magical objects, bad guys, redemption, betrayal, battles, darkness and the heroes finding something inside of themselves that makes them better. You laugh and cry and cheer and that makes a great story.Yet, with all these familiar elements, they are all uniquely done, in a clean, often surprising way. There was blood, but not gore. No language, no sexual content, no crude humor. I appreciated that very much, because that's what I prefer. A story that can hold its own without the need for all of that rubbish. And even though I predicted what was happening, I found delight in the reveals.I also appreciated the unique twist on familiar tropes. The elves were so delightfully elvish...until they weren't. They were different from the norm. The Dwarves weren't crude, boarish characters that belched and were always drinking. They were intelligent and funny (probably the reason I laughed the most throughout). The magic users were each unique, with limits to their skills that made them relatable, yet their talents were so cool when used. The villains were also very well thought out.I was thrilled with this wonderful trilogy and it had a great ending. Sini's story was really interesting. There were a few personal preferences that I would've liked to see, but that's a "me" thing and it did not in anyway detract from the enjoyment I had!I highly recommend this to lovers of fantasy everywhere!"...Fears can overcome almost everything else. But love can overpower things too, as can the truth that we are not hopeless or alone. Breathe deeply."-Keeper WillP.S. Will has some of the BEST lines. Very quote worthy. I just had to thrown that out there! 😁👌Now on to the next project!

This book was a great easy read. It offered just the right amount of suspense and the change of characters was a twist I didn't expect but thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely read more books by this author.It was just the book I needed to get back into reading.

These stories weren't too bad. They weren't perfect, but if this is the first offerings from a new author, she has a lot of potential. I have followed many new authors on their journey. Some have gotten better and some have been a disappointment. I am hopeful that this author will get better as she gains more experience.The first story of Alaric starts a bit slow as almost all first books do. It didn't really get interesting for me until the end of chapter 18. From there it has it's ups and downs, but overall was a good story.The second book, concerning Will was my least favorite. It is obviously a bridge between books 1 and 3, introducing the characters and plot needed to go forward, but I felt like I had to keep pushing myself to go on. Most of the story takes place as everyone travels slowly across a grassy plain to reach their summer home. And like the grass, it seems to go on and on. There are bright spots and it picks up towards the end, but overall it rambles as it lays the foundation for the finale.The last story of Sini is definitely a tear jerker. It, of course, pulls together things from the first two books, updates what's happening with various characters and adds some new elements to bring the trilogy to a close. It's happy, it's sad and it's everything in between. This story was my favorite even though it was sad. And I felt the ending was very well done.Overall, I did enjoy this series. I liked the characters and am interested in reading other books by this author as they come out and finding out what happened to certain characters as she writes other stories based in this world.Final note: A two star reviewer said that he couldn't understand why everyone could travel between "countries" in only a couple of days on horseback. If you decide to read this trilogy, think of the other countries as states or even counties. My feeling is that they are traveling through a much smaller space than we, as modern humans, see the world. The author lives in Montana. I got the impression she was writing about the Rockies and the Great Plains area rather than the characters traveling from Canada to South America. And also because everyone speaks the same language, they just have different accents. She does mix up the accents, such as Scottish for the Dwarfs or, in one small town, the poor residents seemed to have an old English accent or maybe Cockney. The longest journey is from the Roven's winter home near the sea to their summer home which is two weeks travel north over the Plains to get to the mountains. The Plains go from Montana to Texas. The winter home was probably near the Gulf of Mexico and they traveled northwest into New Mexico towards the mountains.

Such a well written, throughly enjoyable trilogy. Glad I read the Origins trilogy first, it made these books all the richer having that background in place. Grab these, pop your feet up, and be ready to roll into a wonderful story.

From the very first chapter to the epilogue of the final book this grabbed my attention and I could not put it down. An amazing read that I look forward to coming back to again soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed the writing, the characters and the intriguing stories. What an imaginative group of adventure tales all beautifully integrated. A wonderful world, a great saga and a satisfying conclusion.

Extremely well written. This series grabs your attention and rides your mind like an obsession from start to finish. I personally enjoyed it immensely. Sadly because I purchased it in e form I can't pass it on to my friends and family.Just read it. You'll be glad you did.

I tend to download free or "economically priced" books in the main so when I find a gem like this it is a real delight. The storyline, characters and descriptive text are all spot-on for me. No lengthy explanations of something (in case the reader doesn't understand!) and no graphic love/romance /sex to fill up a few pages.What I did find was a desire to read just one more chapter to see where the story is going. There is enough magic to qualify this as a fantasy genre but no incredible solve-all waves of a wand. I will watch out for other work by JA Andrews.

An epic fantasy series that is an absolute treat to the senses. In spite of being a relatively short series as compared to a lot of classics, there is no dearth of heroes, magic, mystery, emotions or landscapes. The story is told through three different keepers, each with their own perspective of the world, developed through life as it happens in different parts of the world, described in fantastic detail. The trilogy is extremely fulfilling to a fantasy fan like me and I wholeheartedly recommend it to my fellow fantasy fans.

A somewhat atypical hero's story marks the beginning of this trilogy, making it not easy for me to warm to it for some time. After a little while the story unfolded enough, and I was caught so much that by the half of the second book I was wondering and hoping this would not end with the third book. Sadly, it did, so I am looking forward to the author keeping good on her word to have another trilogy before the end of 2020. Definitely recommended!

Deze boeken zijn heel goed te lezen en houden je gevangen in het verhaal.Het is optimistische fantasie, klassiek gevecht tussen goed en kwaad, ook in jezelf.
