was such a great end to the trilogy, it was exactly as it should have been.
It also featured my two favourite characters out of the circle of six so that definitely upped my enjoyment of it up a degree.
My only complaint is that it was a bit too long in some places, it could have been cut down and tightened up and then it would have been perfect! Reread of this killer last book in this series!!! Let's go.
So damn good. Lilith and Lora were as evil and creepy as I remembered them, I had no idea when I started this series that it would be so good, I should have known better with Nora Roberts as the author, This conclusion was perfect! Loved the whole trilogy, Sigh/
Me ha gustado mucho el final de la trilogia, quizás al principio se me ha hecho bastante lento, y la guerra demasiado rapida.
He disfrutado mucho de Cian y de Moira, tambien de los demas personajes, A very cute happy ending that was much needed during finals season The conclusion of the trilogy and Moira and Cian's story.
The two were the couple I was most interested in from the beginning, as they started with animosity and the obstacles between them seemed insurmountable, which are two of my favorite tropes.
The war is imminent and our heroes are trying to prepare their army and themselves, while dealing with various attacks and mind games by the vampire queen, who's becoming more unhinged as time goes by.
There are a few threads involving her that are disturbing, .
Romance in time of war is never easy, but it's even harder for our heroes who know they can have no future despite the outcome of the war.
Determined to make the best with the time they've got, when they succumb to each other, they give it their all and their relationship is intense.
The war takes much out of everyone, but ,
Engaging story with ups and downs and a main thread that spans the whole trilogy.
Omg, I extremely loved this book, I literally couldn't put it down and read it in one day, I have so much to say that I don't know from were to start,
Firts of all I loved the way Nora dedicates one book for each couple but how they still grow and get stronger in the next one.
Some would say It was predictable, but hell with them, I' m incredibly pleased when I find out that what Ii expecting came true and that my poor heart can rest of the agony of thinking it might be otherwise.
I have to admit that the Lilith's parts were a little dull for me except for the one when Cian gets into her dreams.
And really that bitch really drove me crazy with her changes of mood and insanity,
The well expected battle happend as anyone would expect it to be, A little of fuss here, some blood there, death and screams everywhere, The ending of it, though, was a surprise with that final spell and with who died and who didn't.
I think Cian and Moira were the best part of the book, In the begining of the book I couldn't really see how they would work as Glenna and Hoylt or Blair and Laikin had.
The way they simply were perfect for each other, It seemed like this last two were too different to be together, But as the book went on I started to understand the way they fitted together as well as the others.
And I would be lying if I say I didn't envy them for that for just being meant for another person.
. .
Well, to sum up ur crazy if you don't like this book after the other two.
From my side, I can say it's one of my favorites and that I'm aeger for reading ot again.
Five!!!!
ps: Again sorry for grammar, spanglish or misspelling, my writting skills in english are dusty.
star read to be honest because this trilogy was just a proper joke,
The extra star is for my boy Cian, We stan a sarcastic brooding hero with dry wit! I can say only that this is my favorite book from the trilogy.
It wasn't about Cian Well maybe and because of him, But this one was filled with tension on every page, Preparing for the battle, everything, . . My favorite part is with the dragons, Nora describe them so good and beautiful that even my breath stopped while I was reading this.
This trilogy is amazing, not only because Nora is great author, simply because is so different from her style and in same time she crossed magic, love and battles on one really strong and impressive way.
She managed to show real vampire nature, craving for death and blood even with Cian, she showed his real face.
My admirations for Nora Roberts for creating such a book and is shame pearl like this to be unnoticed and people to going mad after crap like Twilight.

I AM SAD TO SAY GODDBYE SOME OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS EVER!!!!!
Valley of Silence is therd and last book in Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy and the one I loved most.
Continuing the story from Dance of the Gods sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ , which began with Morrisons Cross sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ , the Circle of Six, are in the second month of training and getting ready for the final battle against Lillith.
This book centers on Moira, the Queen of Geall and Cian, vampire and brother of Hoyt, the sorcerer.
They have been my favorite characters since meeting them in thest book, They have always been more complex than the other four and and the feeling for each other are so intense and so incredible and at times fell pain in my heart for them and the deep and true love they have for one another.
Cians inner struggle between the good and evil inside him is so heartbreaking, and seeing Moiras touching acceptance of her love for him really affected me, Her strength, courage, compassion and understanding and finally having to accept Cians decision is so admirable,
The final battle climaxes in Valley of Silence, the dark place that has been a scene of much evil and wickedness and it is here and now where we will find out if good will
triumphs over evil.
The action is more fastpaced than the other books, . more suspense, grittier, darker flying dragons, fire bombs, battles, deaths, frightening vampires, blood flowing into the dark ground.
The scene where Moira talks to her soldiers before the final battle is dramatic and incredibly moving.
The ending, which is unexpected and totally incredible and amazing, made me so excited seeing Cian and Moira finally having their HEA.
. and what an joyous one it is!!!!
Nora Roberts has created a magical and exceptional paranormal fantasy world of fairies, vampires, witches, time travelling, shapeshifters, time travelling and made it real, so believable to me.
I love reading this series over and over again,
Moira Riddick is a part of the six, a regent whose duty is to her people, and it's just a part of her as the claddagh that is seared on her arm as the sword of her office.
All right, first off, have you seen a claddagh It's essentially a heart being held by two hands with a crown on top.
It's not really a heraldic standard that says, "Mess with the kingdom, and have your arse handed to you on a platter" is it England has the three lions, the Scottish knights of the thistle have a lion and a thistle for starters, but anyway.
. .
Over the course of three books, Moira and Cian have met, learned to get on and then stay out of each other's way.
It doesn't help that Cian is a vampire and Moira's task is to fend off her kingdom from the vampires a little hair of the dog, eh and the book is about how they fall in love while readying the people for a war they don't have the stomach to have.
Although Moira is spunky, brave and not a little bit naive in terms of her emotions to Cian, she doesn't really come across as Queenly yet this is a role that she's trained for all her life, parents dropping dead aside.
There's a part in the novel when Blair tells Moira that she has to do her 'St Cripsin' speech you know that speech from Shakespeare's history plays, when he tells his men about how the battle on St Crispin day will make them men, nay, not men, but ubermen Moira has to do that speech, but falls terribly short.
I was embarrassed for her, Hugely.
There's a bit of action in the last chapters of the books, when people are fighting, and swords are swinging, but all the fun was in book two, this was just formality.
