The Phoenix Transformed: Book Three of the Enduring Flame Audiobook

" a cross between the last Harry Potter book and Exodus "

" Far to long. I think the whole desert section was milked to death. "

" This book was supposed to be the climax, and conclusion to the trilogy. I finished it feeling severely disappointed. Nothing happens. There were No epic battles, and no real focused goal or direction. Reading this book was the fantasy equivalent of watching the evening news each night. Same stuff, different day. Overall this series is an embarrassment to the Obsidian Trilogy. It seemed the authors wrote it because they had to, rather than because they wanted to. "

" Lackey's books are much better when she writes them by herself! I can't wait to start her new one that I picked up last weekend, but have to finish up some others first. The wandering the desert seemed as long as when God's children were being led out of Egypt by Moses! "

" Not as good as the Obsidian trilogy, but the ending was really good. It's too bad more time wasn't spent on that last ending. "

" This is (apparently) the last book in the trilogy, but the last couple of pages hint at more drama! Granted, it's real life (for the characters) drama rather than saving the world drama, but still. Grr "

" Was a good book. I let it sit to long, but it was a fun read. I wonder how it went when they did go home? "

" Definitely liked the last installment better than the preceding two. The only thing that was still irritating was hearing Idalia referred to as Blessed Saint Idalia and Kellen as Kellen the Poor Orphan Boy. "

" A very good wrap up to the trilogy. "

" A fine conlusion to the trilogy. By far the strongest one in the trilogy. This trilogy still doesn't quite stand up to the first trilogy by Lackey and Mallory. "

" A boring long winded book that I wish I hadn't bothered reading. I only read it as I had read the first two so was intrigued to see how it concluded. Very disappointed "

" When I finished this, I felt like I had slogged through the deserts with Harrier and Tyr for as long as they had. I realize it was needful to build the characters' development for the end but there were times I was screaming for an editor. "

" Uh ... loved first trilogy and first two books of this one. This third just wandered around endlessly. Literally, characters wandering around endlessly for 99% of book. "

" It started off as a random close-eyed pick at the library and became one of the greatest series I have ever read. They are very well done, and you feel like you are enduring trials right along side the characters. "

" Great trilogy overall, but this third volume could easily have been cut in half. The pages and pages of monotonous travel back and forth through the desert could have been condensed to a few paragraphs of summary without harming from the story at all. "

" Feels like I've already read this but no, it's just more of the same from book one & two. "

" I didn't think any of the books in this trilogy sequel were as good as the original trilogy, but I did still enjoy reading them. "

" Frankly, I thought it was a pretty lame ending to the series. "

" Good, but the original trilogy was better. Still can't get over Kellen-the-poor-orphan-boy. *twitch* "

" Argh, good wins again, thus restoring the "balance." That aside, this series is solid, if grim, and neatly creates a paradigm shift for the inevitable next trilogy to explore. "

" It took me a while to get into this. (I've had it since December.) However, the last two days my family has been a little upset since I had trouble putting it down. The ending was quite dramatic and leaves a few things for the reader to ponder. "

" For some reason this book really dragged. It took a REALLY long time for the climax to come around and since it was dragging so much it didn't do a good job of holding my attention. "

" Incredible conclusion... Whew!! GOOD reading. <br/> <br/>However, rereading the titles -&quot;Phoenix&quot; is a bit of a mystery unless I really dig for symbolism. Hmmm... "

" Misty took us on a long adventure with lots of nasty creatures and magic. Was a little disappointed in the ending, not sure why, but it seemed a bit anti-climatic. Although she left room for a continuing saga, which of course I hope she will do. "

" I really enjoyed this series of books. I want to know what happens in the lives of the characters long after the book is over. "
