3.0 out of 5 stars
a little disappointing, Feb 14 2007
By Katherine A. Sanderson "Kate" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voice Of The Gods: Age of the Five Trilogy Book 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
I really loved this world: the places, the diversity of people and most of the characters were all really well developed and seemed to really come to life for me. In this last book, though, I found a few things really irritating and disappointing. First of all, what seems to have been set up as a big revelation was fairly obvious to me from earlier in the series. There were still twists and things that I did not expect, but this seems like it should have been the biggest unexpected twist and it was not. Secondly, the characters introduced later in the series could have been better developed, namely Nekaun and Ella. It felt like there was so much more there that should have been addressed and expanded to really make the characters believable and their motives understandable. Finally, the ending seemed abrupt and lacking. I can see how in some ways she may have done this as a way to leave herself open for a sequel, which is understandable, but it just didn't work for me. As I said, I really enjoyed the world and most of the characters, especially Auraya, Mirar and Emerhal, so I do not think I wasted my time in reading this series, but it did leave me feeling irritated at the end.

Good but not as good as the others, Feb 22 2007
By storedia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voice Of The Gods: Age of the Five Trilogy Book 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
If you have read the other two books then of course you must read this but I was just a little bit disappointed. A lot of the characters from the other books were not in this one, e.g. The Elai princess - did the boy become a warrior and did they marry? Also the Siyee couple from the first book - did they have their child? This book mainly centers on the Pentandrians and the new White, Ellareen, who is not a particularly pleasant or interesting character. It also centers on the Wilds and their quest for the scroll. It's still a compelling read hence the 4 stars and the epilogue suggests more books but doesn't mention what happens to Auraya and Mirar, it ends quite abruptly.

A Satisfying Conclusion?, Mar 26 2007
By R. Ormiston - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voice Of The Gods: Age of the Five Trilogy Book 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought the Black Magician Trilogy and really enjoyed it, despite the ending not turning out the way I wanted (but life is like that). I really looked forward to this trilogy and I was equally pleased. Ms Canavan does not write books where you see the ending coming from about the middle of the second book of a trilogy. Neither does she pad a series out. This book was an excellent conclusion, and the ending left me wanting a sequel. Hopefully, she won't listen to voices like mine and she'll write about something new. 6 books and I liked them all. Best start for a female writer since Julian May in the 1980's. I recommend both trilogies. You won't be disappointed.
