I just finished the first book, now on to this one.  I like them, easy to read, not so far fetch.  I am enjoying a lot.  Wish they were longer tho.

I was captivated by Book 1 and certainly not disappointed by this, Book 2 of this trilogy.  Once again, well developed characters, intricate plot and good writing have provided a terrific reading experience... can't wait to begin Book 3.  I'm so glad I didn't "discover" this set of books until they were all three available, the wait for the next in line to be published would have been painful.

I chose this rating as it is well deserved of nothing less than that. I've read all three books and was wowed. I simply was engrossed to the point of neglecting everything else.  The writing was spectacular, believable, creatively spellbinding. I highly recommend reading all three, you won't be disappointed.

I cant help but to continue to compare Tad Williams excellent trilogy to George R.R. Martins epic (and still in progress) Song of Ice and Fire (dramatized as Game of Thrones), of which I have read all published portions; and to be honest, Martin does not fare well in the comparison.

Both epic tales are long, huge canvasses with multiple threads and fates that move at varying pace across the page and in such a broad telling one can easily find oneself a little lost unless the story is very tightly and relevantly coordinated, one fate to the next.

Williams does an excellent job of this. No scene is too long or wears on you, and each scene is definitely needed to keep the entire canvass moving at its stately pace toward the ever looming resolution (some 800 pages from now).

By this the third book (which is so long it is published in two parts) the fictional universe is well established along with all the characters. Now you are simply living the various lives, all of which you find yourself caring very much for.

Again, I cannot recommend this trilogy enough. While Martin is considered the reigning laureate of fantasy, in my book that honor should rightly belong to Tad Williams.

This trilogy is utterly heart quenching, fast paced and enticing. For such a cheap price I have thoroughly enjoyed David's books. The Moon Dwellers is the start of the whole masterpiece and I would encourage anyone of any age to read this book.

All emotions were evoked during the course of this trilogy. I couldn't put it down. The characters were built up very well and the story was well pieced together. I definitely recommend reading. The trilogy just gets better as you read on. The 3rd book is the very best, the first two build the sorry and characters to that point.

In this trilogy, I couldn't put down the first and the last books.  This, the middle book, was slower and less intense.  However, it tied the three together, and it was essential to bring all of the details and information for the finial book to masterfully put it into a spectacular ending. The three of them are a must read.

Ahhhh now that's what I'm talking about.  If you read my review the other day of The Awakened, Book One... you know that I finished reading Book one... highly motivated to read Book Two.

I tried to resist... you know, I had thinks to do... but I couldn't and now I'm glad I didn't.

I'm not even going to tell you anything other than... it was awesome and I fully

THe Awakened Book Two by Jason Tesar
expect Book Three to wrap it up, and I can't even imagine how it is going to tie in the one dangling loose end... I have a guess at a couple of things... but there is one major thread between the first two books that is completely unresolved... and I just can't imagine how it's going to all work out.

These two books are so good... on so many different levels.

Enjoy, 'cause I know I did!

I totally fell in love with the characters albeit the circumstances at times,  authors did a fantastic job with the storyline , would recommend this to anyone who enjoys an obsessively handsome villain and an equally  strong female lead, looking forward to book three in this trilogy, yes book 2 was just as awesome as book one .

I read this book when it was first put online. I automatically feel in love with the series, managing to finish all four books on a road trip to Vegas. The book is perfect in my opinion. There's no cliques, and every word in the novel will leave you hanging for more! Definitely worth buying just to read a second tim

Though I came late to this trilogy, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought the trilogy and read all three books. I couldn't stop, I became completely hooked.

This is such a wonderful end to an incredible trilogy that I hope will go viral now that all three books are available to read one after the other. That's precisely how I would devour these books if I hadn't read the first two when they initially came out. With each, I found it hard to put down.  I know that if I started with the first (knowing the others were available for immediate purchase), I would want to read them right away.  In fact, at some point (soon), I plan to take these three beloved books on a vacation where I can read them again in order.

I had not been a huge fan of humorous science fiction until being introduced to There Goes the Galaxy.  I fell in love with the quirky characters, pithy and dry comedy, and sparkling story lines.  Each has been a bigger delight than the previous and I definitely give this book a gold star recommendation.

Be prepared to laugh out loud (always a sign of a fantastic book!).  And if you haven't read the earlier two, I'd read those first (although I think you could jump right into Tryfling Matters and enjoy it as a standalone.

I cannot wait to see what Ms. Thorson comes out with next.  She's a fantastic writer so whatever it is, I'll be looking for it.

This is a great sequal to the first book in the trilogy.  I couldn't put it down. We get to understand the town more and the undercurrents.  The characters are more developed and what we sensed about many of them are being validated in part 2.  The way this author has decided how humans will evolve / devolve is quite interesting.  I am looking forward to book 3 and more understanding of the new human race.

I have to say this is one of (if not the) best trilogies I have ever read. I enjoyed it on so many levels: believability; honesty; escapism; complicated romance; masterful writing, superb world building; action; suspense; emotion and a totally logical, believable, and satisfying ending. Every character, whether major or minor, had a story arc and were not the same people as at the beginning. I am inspired as a reader, as a writer, and as a human being. I plan to read everything Mary Pearson has written!

I really do not like spoilers.  I will say this is an amazing tale that sucked me in from the first book (Beautiful Mess), kept the suspense going through the second (Tragic Wreck), and wraps up the story with Gorgeous Chaos.  No spoilers here.  I tried to pace myself through the last book, but was not always successful  read too late into the night.  TK Leigh tells a story of two families wonderfully.  Every reader who enjoys a mystery needs to read this trilogy.  GREAT JOB TK Leigh!

This trilogy was one of the best I have read.  I could not put book one (The Grip of God) down and read it every night late into the week hours and had to buy book two (Solomon's Bride) as soon as I finished the first one so I wouldn't miss a beat; the same with book three in this series  (Consolamentum).  Even with my reading of the trilogy now finished, I still often reflect on the main character Sofia and her courage, stamina and hopefulness that made the series very real during a hard lifetime in the 1200's.  Although the historical depictions of the times were very harsh, cruel and dark, there was a lightness brought through Sofia's eyes and beliefs that makes being human rewarding.  I have finished the trilogy now since mid-April 2016 and I must admit that I miss reading about the characters and wish there was another book written by Rebecca Hazell that I could pick up.  She is a brilliant writer that deserves recognition for her works.

I could not stop reading and the third story was more wonderful than I expected! A must read trilogy, enjoy!
