Historia
In early 1901, 15 years after Little Lord Fauntleroy and 10 years before The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Making of a Marchioness. She followed this short novel in the spring of the same year with the sequel, The Methods of Lady Walderhurst. The satisfying Cinderella quality of the first book which illustrated the harsh realism of Edwardian society, combines with the exciting melodramatic developments in the second book to create an intriguing story that continues to entertain us today.

Over a decade and the end of the story has not been published. Ending leaves you hanging. My recommendation is to wait to read or listen until the ending is published. Good writing and production, but I would never have started if I'd realized it wasn't finished and has not been for sooooo long.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Great book, but the whole story is only 2/3 finished and it has been over a decade since the second book was published. Had I realized this, I would not have put in the many hours of listening until the trilogy was completed. The trend in publishing to have serials rather than stand alone books makes financial sense for the industry I suppose, but not for readers. Save your time and credit and wait for the author to finish this story. Then read the whole thing.

Not good for my work ethic
Revisado: 02-07-24
Expect romances to follow a predictable pattern, but this one was extremely engaging and really captured my attention and held my interest. I actually sat down to listen to the last third of the book where my ordinary habit is to listen while working on various tasks. Not good for my work ethic, but very fun. Bride ship history was new to me too.

Historia
Danny North is the first Gate Mage to be born on Earth in nearly 2,000 years, or at least the first to survive and claim his power, for families of Westil in exile on Earth have a treaty that requires the death of any suspected Gate Mage. The wars between the families had been terrible until at last they realized it was their own survival in question. But a Gate Mage, one who could build a Great Gate back to Westil, would give his own family a terrible advantage over all the others and reignite the wars. So it was decided that they all had to die.

rushed ending
Revisado: 09-16-23
liked the trilogy overall, but it had the feeling of a book that needed to be wrapped up for business purposes. thought I'd fallen asleep and missed something, so went back to check. nope. really was a headlong rush to wrap up.

Wonderful
Revisado: 11-05-22
So refreshing to have a whole book and not just the first third of a poorly written trilogy or whatever. I'm getting so tired of that gimmick to sell more books. NONE of that here. and so nice to have a really well written book with unique characters on a unique world. I agree that this would make a good movie.

beware incomplete series
Revisado: 10-23-21
I didn't realize it wasn't complete with the two "2 book publishers packs". recommend waiting til they finish the book before buying. this isn't a series of related books with complete stories in each, but just however many chapters of a single story broken into profitable bits. next bits may show they are stringing the story out. great narration and excellent concept . if they finish it. wait and see. if more people refuse to play along, maybe publishers will stop doing this.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining - warning her of a coming attack.

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

persevere
Revisado: 01-26-20
I struggled at times, especially with this last book. I got tired of the slog. So I left it for awhile and came back. problem was probably reading all three back to back. Nevertheless, it has an intriguing wrap up. so I still enjoyed it.
