*My Thoughts*

Note: This review contains NO spoilers

I am just reeling at this epic conclusion to The Danaan Trilogy! A Place Beyond was a topsy-turvy journey between two worlds as Allison struggles and fights to save those she loves. Of course, it is important to read this trilogy from the beginning since The Forgotten Ones and Stone of Destiny (book 1 & 2, respectively) sets up the entire setting for this dramatic conclusion. I mean seriously, I was brought to tears in some seriously emotional parts!

This epic and dramatic end of an amazing trilogy was filled with action, adventure, twists, and an emotional turn that will have you reeling with mixed up feels. Being that of a fairytale nature, of course, it did have that happy ending...but, it was also bittersweet.

Laura Howard delivered an amazing faery story that was filled with wonderful characters that expressed a great deal of emotional conflict, even when it was hidden. It will definitely tear your heart up.

*My Thoughts*

Note: This review contains no spoilers

Whoa! Wow! Laura Howard did it again with this second book of The Danaan Trilogy! Stone of Destiny starts where The Forgotten Ones ended. And, boy, is it one that is filled with suspense that will leave you gasping! Now that Allison knows who her father is and all the secrets behind his reason why he's been "gone" for so many years, Allison is focused on helping her mother...and now, her father.

Again, secrets are revealed that affect both worlds and the people in it. Laura's knack to write just enough to reveal the mystery, but not, creates that apprehension with, not only, the characters, but with the reader as well. Wow! My heart is still racing with that anxiety of the danger and peril that these characters are in! The only part I was not happy about is the "waiting"...LOL! Yes, I was getting as impatient as Allison...hahaha!! But, it was all a part of the flow of the story. 

I really don't want to give any more without spoiling it. After all, The Forgotten Ones (book 1) introduces readers to these wonderful characters and a mystical world that I don't want to take away that suspenseful and thrilling feeling for other readers. All I will say is that Stone of Destiny is another wonderfully written, suspenseful, and mysterious story with a touch of friends and family bonding, plus romance. Allison is learning how to open up and trust more now that she knows she's not alone. We can't forget that, again, Laura leaves us with a cliffhanger...with enough uncertainty to keep us thinking until the third and final book!
