Since 2010, fans have been avidly following the adventures
of Jacinda and her family through the Firelight trilogy. We
have seen the young characters grow into the adults they are
meant to be. Fans of all ages will now be able to read the
final installment and discover what will become of the
characters we have fallen in love with.
HIDDEN begins immediately after the shocking ending of the
second installment of the trilogy, Vanish. Jacinda
and her friends try to do something never done before and
infiltrate an enemy's layer. The fact that the rag tag team
does not always get along adds to the suspense and
adventure.
The secrets that are revealed will amaze and shock avid
fans. A new character can be scary and endearing as the
story comes to the conclusion. What the characters we have
grown to love over the years endure will will bring readers
to their knees.
The Firelight trilogy has had me on the edge of my seat for
years. I will admit that I have been anguish for the release
of each book since I had the wonderful opportunity to meet
Sophie at a local book signing. The development of Jacinda
and Tamra from secluded and naive girls into the powerful
and brave women they have become is a joy to read. HIDDEN is
a fast pace, exciting read that had me cheering for the home
team, crying during dramatic scenes and overall loving the
conclusion of a series I will be reading over and over
again.
This conclusion to the Firelight trilogy continues the
conflict between a dragon-girl and those who hunt her kind.
Jacinda is a draki, a being that can morph from human form
into a fire-breathing, flying dragonlike creature. She has
her own society but wants to escape it with her human
boyfriend, Will, who comes from a family that hunts the
draki. This installment begins with Jacinda intentionally
caught and imprisoned in an underground facility in which
rather nasty scientists do research on draki. She plots with
Will and her enforced mate, Cassian, to escape. Once the
attack commences, exciting scenes ensue as the group fights
their way out with a new, dangerous draki in tow. Jordan
keeps the focus mostly on action even as she weaves in the
forbidden-romance elements required by this genre, although
the romantic conflict was mostly resolved in the previous
installment. Plenty of rivalries among Jacinda and other
draki spice things up. Two new characters, Deghan, the long-
imprisoned draki, and little Lia appeal, although the story
allows Lia's fate to dangle unresolved. Chase scenes, near-
captures and a late-game betrayal or two keep the narrative
moving. Except for the subplot regarding Lia, everything
comes to an ending that will satisfy readers. New readers
would best start with the beginning of the trilogy.
