The last book in the
Vault of Dreamers trilogy seemed endless to me.
The Keep of Ages just was not my thing. I have to say though that it very well may have been the audio production and the speed at which I listened. I had it up to 1.5 and the main character, Rosie, was just so whiny! And so alarmist! And just going on and on and on and in a panic throughout the whole book. And it was really annoying. It just ruined the book for me. I mean, I was glad to find out how it all ended and I did care. So it didn't ruin it, which says a lot about how much I do like
Caragh M. O'Brien and the world she created here and also in
Birthmarked.
I see that I had a sort-of similar reaction to the third book in the Birthmarked series and so now I wonder if it is one of those deals where the publisher made O'Brien turn a one-book idea or a two-book idea into a trilogy. That's what I think happened with
Matched and what I know happened to
Claws because the author is my friend. Still, this was a good and unique premise. Read the first two for sure and then if you listen to the third, play it at regular speed, you might like it!
