My Thoughts:
Unleashed is the final installment of The
Elements Trilogy. If you haven’t read the first two books, Unknown and Unseen I recommend that you do. If you would like to read my
reviews of these two books, you can read them here: Unknown and Unseen.
All four of the element children have now been found
and they have also located the orb or Oron seekers need to begin sharing the
light of Oron. Only by sharing the light can they defeat the darkness pf the evil
Ashan and his dark army. Though Taramon is further away than Mezrah, they
decide to head there first as Taramon will welcome the light and it will
strengthen them to defend themselves.
Jethro and Kyla know that once they return, even
though they are desperately in love with one another, they can never be
together because she is betrothed to Athra and they work hard at keeping
themselves apart.
Little do they know that Taramon has been taken over
by Safeer and the people have been enslaved. The women and children have been
removed to Mezrah and the men have been set to work to demolish their own city.
I liked Kyla’s strong personality that enabled her to
be independent, courageous, strong-willed, and sometimes got herself into a
little bit of trouble. She didn’t want to be in a position of leadership, yet
sometimes she found herself there. When she was, she fulfilled the position
well.
I liked that the author chose to include the allies
that the seekers met along the way. It added some fun to the story too. Flynt
was particularly endearing. It made me sad when he had to return to Vulcan
Peak, and extremely happy when he and Kyla were reunited, just the same as when
I pick my pet up after a period of separation. I guess it doesn’t matter what
the species is!
I enjoyed the pace of Unleashed. It was fast and full of action. Ms. Pearl did an
excellent job of portraying Ashan’s army or underlings as evil. There was
nothing to like about them at all. I thought the parallels between Ashan and
the Devil and God and Oron were well done.
Unleashed was a wonderful follow-up to Unknown
and Unseen. I would highly recommend
this trilogy to anyone who enjoys fantasy. Unleashed
deserves 5 stars out of 5!
