Omg this book!!!

The Lynburn Legacy is one of these trilogies where you just can't imagine a possible solution to the problem. Again and again, there was reason to hope and again and again, Rob and his sorcerers came crashing through, ripping, destroying and killing.

Ever since I heard of Anne, Elinor and Matthew in Untold, I always knew what the end result would, I just never imagined who would end up being lost as a result to getting there. But before I get there, let's talk about all the beautiful moments in this book.

First of all, Ash's happiness at being with Kami...it's easy to think that Ash always had everything while jared had nothing when in fact I realised the opposite was true. Ash lived his whole live being told about Rosalind and Jared, being moved from place to place. He never had friends or other family, and ultimately he was always by himself. On the other hand, Jared was never by himself, he always had the strong guidance of Kami and the love that was their link...so when Ash's happiness at being with Kami like that, and being happy with other people around him, it's the cutest.

I do agree with some other reviews that the Kami/Jared storyline got frustrating. I love Kami to bits, the way she thinks, her courage, her loyalty, her amazing humour but she and Jared are just so stupid when it comes to each other. How can they not get that they're mad for each other when everyone else can see it!!!Aghh, *tears out hair*.

Lillian and Jon, a duo made in heaven! Jon's humour shows where Kami got it from, she couldn't have got it from nowhere. It was moments between them that had me laughing at the most terrible of moments.

And the sad part.
I just can't believe it. No no no no!!! I threw my book across the room, even though I had sneaked a glimpse at the start cause I had one of those feelings about him, and I just couldn't read any further to know if that feeling was right and it was!! :( Rusty was the most handsome, amazing, lovely people...he didn't deserve it. I feel horrible by saying I wish Ash or even Holly had died instead. Just not Rusty, and not in such a horrible way. He deserved so much more, be right back, drowning in my tears.


The ending I was happy with it. Kami did her magic, showed them who was boss as did the rest of the town and of course, Angela and her chain - another match made in heaven. And hope and happiness was restored, things may not go quite back to happily ever after but they're getting there and finally...they tell each other the truth!!!
