The Rise of Magicks (Book 3) About the BookĪfter the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. I have a feeling I’m not going to be the only reader who is sad to see this story come to an end…. Roberts delivered on all counts, giving readers a thrilling finale that serves as a fitting end to the trilogy. And, more than anything, I wanted the final battle to have me on the edge of my seat, working my emotions into a frenzy. I wanted to see cunning manipulation from the enemy–whether the enemy was magickal or not. As for the villains of the story, I hoped they would continue to be a serious threat. I wanted some of them to experience events that shook them to the core, and having to overcome it. I felt certain that there would not be a happy ending for all of them (they were in the midst of war, after all), but hoped any loss would have the necessary emotional impact to move the story forward in unexpected directions. I was deeply invested in these characters throughout the series, and cared a great deal about each of them. It was the right call, because it deepened my enjoyment of the story. Knowing that this was the last piece of the story, I didn’t want to rush through it. Although I could have read The Rise of Magicks quickly, I forced myself to go slowly–to savor the reading experience.
