In this third and final installment of the series, Jack and Thorgil join the Bard for one last adventure–this time to put a mermaid’s spirit to rest. While the story certainly had its moments, in the end it was disappointing as a conclusion to the series.
I noticed a slower pace and wandering plot in the second book, but it became much more pronounced in this one. I remember looking down at one point and realizing I’d read 25% of the book, but still had no idea what the main conflict of the plot was going to be. This continued throughout the book, as several themes and plot arcs were introduced, given significant space in the text… but then lacked real significance for the overall plot (such as the Tanners or the princess/bride incident). The ending was abrupt, with no closure to much of the tension in the series (Thorgil and Jack’s relationship, Brutus as king/redemption for Brutus, etc.). I was glad it didn’t go the everyone-dies direction, but most of my satisfaction was in that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, not that it was good.
The religious aspect of the book was ultimately disappointing to me. I appreciated in the Sea of Trolls that Christianity was allowed to stand with the rest, and that even the Bard put in a good word now and then. But by the end of the novel, Christianity/the Christian characters had gotten their wrists slapped more than anyone else. Perhaps the most frustrating moment to me was when Jack calls on the life force at the end of all things, so to speak, he does so almost directly quoting St. Patrick’s prayer (I Arise Today)–but without any of the Christian elements. This is such a minor thing, and insignificant in the scope of the plot, but it really got under my skin. Christianity played such a significant role in this time period–not just as a religion, but as a preservation of culture and literature. But by the end, Brother Aidan was the only Christian character who was in any way mature. Though I adored him, his goodness was greatly overshadowed by the simplicity and/or cruelty of other “Christian” characters. Such representation was frustrating by the end.
I would still recommend the series, but I feel like the sequels disappoint after such a great beginning.

This was a good and satisfying ending to the series. There is a huge storm in the beginning where a few crazy things happen which ultimately lead to yet another adventure. I thought this was a good story but a bit long. The good thing is everything was wrapped up and all questions were answered! This was a solid 4 star series and I am glad my husband found this for me at the Drury Lane bookstore in Grand Marais MN!

Audiobook The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls #3) by Nancy Farmer
I love Nancy Farmer’s stories. I love how different and strange her stories are,and I particularly like her look into the Saxons and Norsemen in this series. I’ve loved everyone of the books in this series, including this story, until the end. Truthfully I was disappointed at the end of this story. The other stories felt like they had a good strong ending, but this story was just kind of vague, and left room for more. I feel like it was ended in a rush with the promise of more, but the knowledge that this story was the end, and I was never going to get to read more. I would love it if Nancy Farmer would write one more sequel, but I could tell that this ending was the only ending I was going to get because the the children were starting to grow up. I enjoyed the books while they lasted, and I enjoyed parts of the end, but like I said previously, I was just slightly disappointed at the end.

Audio The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls #3) narrated by Gerard Doyle
I got all three books not knowing anything about the author. The first book got me hooked. Just as rich in storytelling as J.K. Rowling. The characters are complete and engaging. A must read or listen to on audio

Two young English children learn to appreciate other cultures. Well, at least the brother does. There is no danger from the trolls, it turns out, but beware of half-trolls!! I love that the Viking-type chieftain is scary, violently ruthless, and loving all at the same time. He understands everyone, just like Aslan. But he doesn’t listen to his wife, Heidi. I read this as an audiobook, and the performance was amazing. I know it made me love the book. I can’t guarantee as much love for the silent version, but go for it. As promised on the cover, it’ll probably be a classic.
