The book has finally been released!!! Fearless Magic is the third book in the Star-crossed Series, with Reckless Magic and Hopeless Magic being the first two. This book came out this past weekend, and I was done reading it in about four hours. Rachel Higginson just keeps amazing me with how well her writing flows and how tied together each story is. If you enjoyed the first two books, this book is a definite must-read. I don't want to give too much of the book away because it has just been released, but here's a quick review of it.
From the last book, Hopeless Magic, we leave off with Eden left alone after the moarchy's attack on the Resistance. An unprepared Eden came too late to help rescue her family and friends, and Avalon has been captured by King Lucan. Kiran has also left Eden because of her unwillingness to join the monarchy, and she had decided her fate lies with becoming a member of the Resistance. Armory's last words to her was to find her parents, and this is where the book begins. Eden knows Silas, the shape-shifter from Manchu Pichu, is her only clue to where her parents are. Alone, she seeks him out and finds he will not help her. She is too evil now, with all her anger and desire for revenge brewing within her. Eden reminds him of the war that is to come and that he will have to decide which side he belongs to, and she convinces him to help her. She is to seek Gabriel, a priest near by.
Before she reaches Gabriel, she is interrupted by Talbot. He warns her there are many guards near by and that her necklace (given to her by Kiran) has a magical tracking device on it. She has the option of saving one of the Resistance members if she returns Avalon's magic. Eden refuses, but instead of handing her over, Talbot tells her to hurt him and gives her the key to release the prisoner near by. She obeys and soon finds herself running away with an old friend. Okay, so I can't really tell you who it is because it'll be a complete spoiler, but this person is a vital character.
They are able to escape and seek out Gabriel, who informs them he has seen her parents just three days ago. Upon great convincing from Eden, Gabriel also joins the Resistance. The dilemma is now whether to find Eden's parents or to continue on to seek out the other teams of the Resistance. Eden, now being the Resistance leader, decides it is more important to regroup the teams. With this as her goal, she and her two teammates carry onto strengthen their numbers and save Avalon in order to overthrow the monarchy. War is inevitable, and Eden is leading it.
Kiran is not forgotten in this book. It turns out he is very ill and near death, needing Eden's magic to save his life. He also has asked Seraphina to be engaged to him again, per Lucan's request. Eden is set on killing every member of the monarchy, including Kiran, but she still feels compassion for him. These are just a few of the decisions that Eden will have to face. Fearless Magic is filled with many great events that take you on an adventure through a world of heart-break and love. You must read the book to find out what our daring Eden will decide about her fate and that of the Resistance. Will Eden kill Kiran? Will she face battle with Lucan? Will she set Avalon free? Will she find her parents? How will she accomplish her goals? Will she find herself forever heart-broken, or will she find love again? Will Eden and Kiran rekindle their love and live happily ever after?
Fearless Magic is a heart-warming novel that I can truly say will capture your attention immediately. The wait was worth it and now we must wait again until January for the release of the fourth book, Endless Magic. A few last thoughts. One great thing I find about this series is that even though the characters have magic, they are extremely relatable. Eden's process of love and heartache, Kiran's unknowing selfishness, Jerricho's denied love, and Avalon's quest for a greater good are all real life emotions. Although the title of the series is Star-Crossed, this book is more than a love story. The theme of the book is also about the willingness to fight for what is right and equality for all.
I bought this book on Amazon for $3.99, a good price a great novel. I do have to warn you that there are grammatical errors in the e-version. Hopefully a new revised version will be available for a free upgrade
ENJOY!!!
