Saying goodbye to a series is always hard. Especially when the stories are epic, the heroines are fierce, the heroes are swoon-worthy and the world is one you don’t want to leave. But when the final book in the series is as riveting, nail-biting, action-filled and all-consuming as FORESWORN, then it’s a series you won’t want to wait until “later” to finish.

This final book in the trilogy introduces readers to Kat Lockwood, the most guarded and cautious yet temperamental of the three sisters, and Saying goodbye to a series is always hard. Especially when the stories are epic, the heroines are fierce, the heroes are swoon-worthy and the world is one you don’t want to leave. But when the final book in the series is as riveting, nail-biting, action-filled and all-consuming as FORESWORN, then it’s a series you won’t want to wait until “later” to finish.

This final book in the trilogy introduces readers to Kat Lockwood, the most guarded and cautious yet temperamental of the three sisters, and Arun, her modern-day warrior whose Norse god has a rather eyebrow-raising ability. It brings the sisters back together. It builds to the highly anticipated climactic finish. And it answers the question of whether the prophecy comes to pass.

The trickster is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the things that Kat, her sisters, and all those who contain the soul of a Norse god must face. Giants, elves, pandemonium, a looming battle, a betrayal and a sacrifice are just a sampling of what’s in store for them as they fight to change their fates and the fate of the world.

Kat is the perfect sister to carry this series to its end. She’s protective, loyal and incredibly brave and her strength is what is needed most when everything comes to a head. Even with her bond with Arun, whose personality complements hers so well, her sisters are the most important thing in the world to her. She may not be as easy to connect with as Raven or Coral, as she isn’t as nurturing or as sweet as they are, but once a connection is made it will be a strong one.

Rinda Elliott managed to create three very distinct female main characters whose stories, while interwoven, are strong enough, engaging enough and exciting enough to stand on their own. While nearly identical in appearance, each sister has a very different personality and voice, making each book in this series a thrilling new adventure.

FORESWORN is suspenseful. Its fast pace makes it easily readable in one sitting. Its promise of romance, of deadly battles, of heartbreaking loss make it unputdownable. Its new characters, with new abilities and new challenges, make for a wildly entertaining read. It’s intense. It’s enthralling. It puts you on an emotional roller coaster. It keeps you glued to the page until the very end.

It is a must, must, must read installment in this absolutely amazing and unforgettable series that should only be devoured after the first two books.

Which sometimes means I just read a few pages or actually read the book. This was one of those cases where I devoured the books. I became obsessed and I read each of the first two books in a day respectively. I was so sucked into the world that I started Forsworn right after Forecast but actually stopped reading. To save the reading high. Some book series just click with me and this was one of those series. It’s hard for me to review the books separately because my brain puts them all together in one big awesome novel.

There are so many things I love about Forsworn along with the Foretold and Forecast. First the books are very uniquely written. Each book is a sister perspective and the timeline of the books overlap. I was impressed with the way that Rinda kept the sisters interactions straight from book to book. I felt like they fit together flawlessly.

Another thing that I think is very cool about this series is that the books begin at the start of the End of World. You often read books that are trying to avoid the start of the End or books that take place after the end. It’s not as often that you see a series taking place during. It was cool the way Rinda took Norse mythology and Ragnarok to bring it about. You could tell that she had done a lot of research just by the amount of Gods and Goddess and how well the mythology was executed. I love a book that makes me want to look things up and learn more about them.

Big battles can be tricky because sometimes you find they fizzle out. In this case I was really happy with the end of the book. I think it was perfect. There events and small battles that lead up to the major showdown at the end. So things come about naturally. It’s not like they are just hanging out and boom everything is over. I really liked how things played out and were resolved. The Epilogue is absolutely perfect.

So the main players. The books center around each of the three sisters and their warriors. Kat is featured in Forsworn and at first I had expected Coral to be the last one but Kat definitely made the most sense. The sisters are similar but have their own qualities that make them stand out. Kat is fierce and protective of her family. She is also probably the most cautious when it comes to people. Arun is kind and quiet and seems to see the good in everyone. They manage to balance eachother out. We see the sisters grow in each book but I think Kat grows the most.

If you have read the first two books,you will not be disappointed in how things are wrapped up. If you haven’t read them. What are you waiting for! Definitely pick them up.

My favorite warrior in the series was Vanir (the bathroom kidnapping scene). My favorite sister is definitely Coral. I love that she is sweet but also fierce. My favorite couple though would be Kat and Arun. They felt like such a partnership.

A great conclusion to the trilogy, and yet I also can't help but consider that the ending left a few plot threads open for possibly another trilogy. It was nice that all three sisters got to spend time together in this book, though I thought the concept to have all three books take place at the same time was fascinating. It was also pulled off quite effectively. Plus, as I've mentioned before, I love stories that have mythological themes or characters and I've been getting more and more into Nor ...more

Freyr is a fertility god, so it’s no surprise that Arun is extremely good looking, even to someone like Kat who has never had a thing for “pretty boys.” Arun’s power manifests in his ability to heal dying plants. Arun and his family have been preparing for Ragnarok for years, starting greenhouses and putting together survival packs. When Kat arrives, it’s to find many others like her (those carrying souls) are all converging in this same place. They all seemed to be called here.

Right away Kat knows this is where she’s supposed to be and Arun is the warrior she was supposed to find. In mythology Freyr wields a sword that fights on its own, however, at some point, Freyr is forced to give up his sword. This fact causes him to be killed during Ragnarok by the fire giant Surt.

The prophecy about the norns has always been clear. One will die by the hands of a warrior during Ragnarok. For years, Kat’s norn has shown her she will be the sister that dies….by fire. Probably one of the most interesting parts of the book was how Rinda Elliott dealt with the prophecy. I mean everything up to this point has been coming true so we can only presume that Kat’s vision will come true as well, yet it’s difficult to believe an author would go through with killing off a main character, but Elliott handles that plot point very well indeed.

I liked Kat’s story the best and not only because it’s the culmination of the entire story, but also because I liked Kat the best of the three sisters. She’s gone into everything with the knowledge that she will be the one to die, yet she doesn’t shirk what she feels is her responsibility. Even though she doesn’t fully understand yet what her and her sisters’ parts are in the final battle, she doesn’t stand on the sidelines. She wants to learn, and with the myriad of other warriors showing up along with a couple of Valkyries, there’s plenty of knowledge to go around.

In Forecast readers were given a glimpse of the Dark Elves, one of which claimed to be the girls’ father. That, right away opened up a lot more questions about where exactly the triplets come from. In Foresworn we learn a lot more about the triplets’ mother. I liked the mysterious aspect of their genealogy, and wished it was something that could have been explored more in depth, but I could see how it would detract from the main focus of the story.

This trilogy is the sisters’ story through and through despite also being about their warriors. We finally get to see them together as everyone gathers for the big confrontation. I like the direction the series took, I think everything played out very well, but what I like the most is the ambiguous ending. I’m hoping somewhere down the line we’ll get to see more of Raven, Coral, and Kat. ...more

Foresworn is Kat's book, and she's the younger and toughest of the triplets. We alr I discovered this trilogy through the wonderful Jenny from Supernatural Snark and connected with the author via Twitter and she was kind enough to send me an advance copy of this one so I could read it before my preorder arrives next month! Thank you so much, Rinda!

That said, getting this book for review has not influenced my review or my enjoyment of the book in any way, except for being able to enjoy it earlier!

Foresworn is Kat's book, and she's the younger and toughest of the triplets. We already know a lot of information that she doesn't when she starts her journey, since we've already read Coral's and Raven's stories. But Rinda does quite a great job at both helping us keep our interest in Kat's story and keep up with the timeline with the phone calls with her sisters, so we know how it is progressing.

Kat soon finds the guy she chose to protect from her mother, and she finds herself drawn into a group of people that not only they know what she is, but that have been preparing for Ragnarok for quite a long time! Arun knows whose soul he carries and knows how to work his gift for the most part. Other young people with gods souls inside them have been coming to his farm, drawn there by the music that comes from the lake in Yellowstone, so when Kat arrives she finds herself surrounded by more people like herself and not only feels an attraction to Arun, but also a kinship that was unknown to her before.

The action moves along quite fast, because while Kat is trying to figure out how to help Arun and return to protect her sisters, fires and accidents keep on happening around the farm, and soon the bigger picture starts becoming a lil clearer. Kat gets more information on her mother's side of the family, which happens to be quite surprising. And we also find out a bit more about the triplet's father.

The final confrontation happens when the three sisters get together and it was quite a show down, with fighting both physical and magical and that would have been a fantastic conclusion. Then we got an epilogue that started very satifying and fuzzy feels but then left us with a direct hook! Amazing but very evil!!

Very well deserved 4 stars for this final book in a fantastic trilogy that mixes contemporary, paranormal and Norse mythology flawlessly! ...more

On a side note, I really liked that we got to see all three sisters together in this book. I've wanted to see how they acted together and how powerful they could be when they joined forces and that's what I got. It was great to see Raven and Coral again, as well as the super adorable Vanir and Taran. That, by itself, really made the book for me.

Now, on to Arun. As with the other two boys, he was just darling. Strong, but also sweet and definitely adorable. I didn't feel like I got to know him as much as I did Vanir and Taran, but I still really liked him.

The romance was very sweet. They were opposites in temperament and that worked for them. Kat would get all up in a huff and Arun would just calmly bring her out of it. I thought they were great together. And, it was so sweet seeing how Raven and Coral's relationships were playing out with their cuties. I especially loved seeing how all three of the romances were working out in the epilogue.

The plot moved quickly and kept me engaged all the way through. There were plenty of thrills along the way, as well as a few surprises, and some unexpected twists. I really liked the story and the ending was both perfect and agonizing. It wrapped up the triplets' story, but it left an ominous tone that has me wondering.

Foresworn was a really wonderful YA read that I loved. It was a fantastic conclusion to a series that I really like and it had everything that made the previous two books so good. Fans of the series, you won't be disappointed with this ending. And, YA lovers, this is a series you'll definitely want to check out.

This book cannot be read as a standalone. I highly suggest that you read the first 2 books in order to understand the plot. Otherwise, it would be confusing because the 3rd book doesn't really have a proper recap of what happened and some kind of introduction.

Action packed but a light YA fantasy read, I recommend this to fans of Norse gods and anything Viking. Oh amd if you're looking for a book with gorgeous characters that are too good to be true, this one's right for you too. ...more

Prima di parlarvi del terzo e ultimo capitolo di questa serie vi lascio i link delle prime due recensioni: RAVEN - CORAL.
I tre libri sono legati l'uno all'altro e la Elliot ha deciso di suddividerli invece di creare un unico libro con i tre POV differenti e credo che la sua sia stata una scelta perfetta, perchè in questo modo ha potuto dedicare più tempo non solo ad ogni singola sorella, ma anche ad approfondire al meglio le storie dei coprotagonisti.
Le sorelle del Destino è una trilogia pubblicata solo in ebook che parla dell'arrivo del Ragnarok, che nella mitologia norrena è la battaglia finale tra le forse della luce e dell'ordine e quelle del buio e del caos, in seguito alla quale il mondo come lo conosciamo verrà distrutto per poi essere ricreato.
i fatti narrati nei tre libri si svolgono tutti nello stesso momento, ma in tre luoghi differenti e come ho scritto anche nella recensione di Coral questo fa si che andando avanti nella lettura capiti di leggere di chiamate che le sorelle si scambiano e si ha così un breve recap di quello accaduto nei due libri precedenti, ma il tutto senza dare troppe info e senza nulla togliere alla storia.
Kat è sulle tracce del ragazzo che custodisce l'anima della divinità della fecondità, quando lo trova non deve dar nessun tipo di spiegazioni, poichè Arun riesce a percepire subito le anime dei custodi e questo rende a Kat tutto più semplice e veloce.
Ciò che più mi piace di questa saga è senza dubbio la trama originale, la cura con cui l'autrice spiega i miti norreni e descrive le divinità che si incontrano durante la lettura e ancora il fatto che fantasy e romance siano così ben amalgamati, senza eccedere e rendendo il libro ancor più piacevole e accattivante.
Sono molti i personaggi che fanno parte della storia, tutti ben descritti, alcuni appena accennati, con una storia da raccontare e un ruolo ben preciso: Kat e Arun occupano quasi tutta la scena, lei così sospettosa e diffidente, lui terribilmente dolce e romantico e soprattutto senza filtri.
Essendo questo il capitolo conclusivo della serie vi sono molte più scene movimentate, con combattimenti, intrighi, colpi di scena e tradimenti, non mancano inoltre morti inaspettate, che lasceranno il lettore senza fiato e verso la fine accadrà qualcosa che vi farà pensare al peggio, ma i libri della Elliott non sono mai banali e scontati e nulla accade mai per caso.
Sono rimasta soddisfatta da quest'ultimo libro, mi spiace solo che non vi sia la possibilità di averli cartaceo, perchè è una di quelle saghe che merita un loro posto in libreria!
Rinda Elliott ha confermato la sua bravura, le sue storie sono avvincenti, con una storie solida e ben costruita, si nota la cura che l'autrice ha messo nella ricerca dei miti norreni e i suoi protagonisti sono veri, umani e nonostante il loro lato divino non sono per nulla perfetti ed è praticamente impossibile non cadere innamorati di ognuno di loro!
Le sorelle del Destino è una di quelle serie che si legge velocemente, ogni libro è emozionante e con una storia ben strutturata, mai noiosa o scontata, sono i libri perfetti per staccare un po' dalle solite letture, quei libri necessari quando si ha bisogno solo di un po' di relax!
