Jacinda had pushed off her bonding with the "prince" of the
pride, Cassian, before ever meeting the love of her life,
Will, a human and worse a hunter. They had planned to run
away, but that ended in disaster. Miriam, Cassian's sister,
was captured by the enkros. Jacinda didn't know what she was
getting into when she set out to rescue Miriam.
Ever since she was little, Jacinda had been told about the
enkros. Nobody knows what exactly they do because nobody has
ever survived being captured by them and able to tell the tale.
Jacinda wants to rescue Miriam. The only way for her to
rescue Miriam is to get herself captured by the enkros.
There's no guarantee that she will make it out alive. But
what she never could have seen is that escaping is only the
beginning.
HIDDEN is the perfect end to a trilogy. It is beautifully
written and you can get into Jacinda's head. I connected
with her really well, I kept trying to imagine being in her
position. I don't know if I would ever have the guts that
she has. Ms. Jordan created the perfect heroine for an
amazing series.
If you are going to read the Firelight trilogy, I would
suggest that you read all of the books. If you wanted, you
could start with the final book. I think that if you started
with the final book, you would be a little confused, and you
wouldn't get all of the action that all of the books have.
While reading there were a lot of twists and turns that kept
me turning pages. I wish that wouldn't have stopped, but all
great books have to end at some time.
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.
