Amazing!
There are no words to describe how brilliant this book is. Gripping to the very end, I didn't want it to finish. I was in floods of tears all through the last chapter...all I can say is read the prophecy carefully and you'll understand!
About 1/10th less good than The Dark (but still one of the most perfect things I've ever read), but then again nothing can beat poor, tortured Arkarian and Isabel-ness! Ends just as suddenly as the other three and leaves you desperate for more!
Neriah is a beautiful character. I loved Rochelle. Keep your eyes open for who the REAL traitor is...there are tiny little clues all over the place!
From the interesting PoVs of Matt and Rochelle (ooh, awkwardness), this book takes you right from a conference between the 'Gods' to the final battle. Funny, heart-wrenching, action-packed, thrilling and beautiful. Do not pass this book by!

An excellent read!
I think that The Guardians of Time trilogy was absolutely amazing, and this final third instalment was brilliant! The story is told this time from the perspective of Matt and Rochelle, and was well-crafted and gripping from start to finish! The only bad thing about this book was that it ended!

I loved it and I hope that we will not have to wait too long for the next book by Marianne Curley!

i dont know where to begin it was so good.
like my title of the review i do not know where to start with how good and how compelling the last book of Marianne Curley's fantastic trilogy of beautifully told charcters that i love was. It is an expert of a book so good i couldn't put it down even though i didn't want to finish it straight away. it gets you straight in to the plot and this time picks up on the viewpoints of Matt and Rochelle. This last book is superb and a jewel. Although some of the more final scenes made me cry i have to say that this was the best book i have ever read not only because it has all the elements of a good book for me but because it didn't leave me feeling confused or anything but made its point. A brilliant fantasy story filled with laughter, love, loyalty, fantasy, drama, action Marianne Curley pulls of one gem of a book. At the end i had to sit there and read the last chapter again and was so disappointed that this time unlike the other two there was no follow-up. I had to sit and wonder what had happened to the characters lives and i wish Marianne Curley could write another. Ethan, Isobel, Arkarian, Matt, Rochelle, Neriah... all wonderful characters that i would love to read about again. I cannot express how much i enjoyed this fabulous and explosive last book to a superb trilogy. I can only say: "More, More"!!!!
