Trust: Makilien Trilogy - Book 3

After all, he's been through so much in the last year. She tries to be patient, but when she sees Sirion kiss Irynna, she is devastated. As if she couldn't hurt any more, as she walks by King Darian's door the next morning, she hears the sound of a struggle. Upon entering, she witnesses Sirion try to kill Darian and then flee. No one can believe it. As they are coming to terms with what just happened, Makilien suddenly realizes that it's not Sirion. When they tended his wounds, there were no scars on his back.

If it's not Sirion, then who is it? Elnauhir reveals something that none of the rest of them know - Sirion had a twin brother who was assumed to be killed when the Shaikes killed their parents. Obviously, this was not the case. As soon as Sirion showed up in Elimar, I knew one of two things: Irynna lures Makilien out to find "Sirion" and she ends up captured by Ryelan - Sirion's twin - and taken to Carel.

Once there, while on their way to Vayzar, Makilien escapes, only to run into one of her worst enemies - Jorin.

Sure she is going to die, she is shocked when he helps her to safety. His heart has been changing ever since she stopped him from being killed. Okay, this review needs to speed up. Safely with Beregon and Sophine, Makilien is reunited with Aedan, Tanzim, and all her friends who tracked her after she was taken. They work on a plan to rescue Sirion, who is currently being forced to work building Vayzar's fortress. Sirion and his work partner, Jered, are planning their own escape, but things don't work out as planned.

Beregon and Sophine's house is raided and Makilien is captured. After that, it's a whirlwind of action. They are all tortured; all except Makilien, who's whipping Sirion took as well as his own. Ryelan, Jaeson, and Derrin, once enemies of Makilien and her friends, all play a part in helping them escape Vayzar. Also, and I'm not quite sure how this happened, Darian and troops from Eldor arrived and helped fight Vayzar's men.

With Vayzar dead, his fortress destroyed, and everyone free, our characters can return to Elimar and celebrate! It's a happy ending, as Makilien and Sirion get married. There is very little, if any, mention of how a person looks; how a beautiful or handsome they are. The people love each other for inner character and who they are. Molly does a wonderful job portraying a true picture of love.

I even had a little trouble with Makilien and Sirion, but as long as I forgot their ages, it was fine: Especially when a lot of names are similar ; Dec 25, Kendra Ardnek rated it it was amazing Shelves: After receiving and reviewing the first two books of the trilogy, I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation for book three.

Makilien Trilogy (Truth, Courage, and Trust) eBook: Molly Evangeline: www.newyorkethnicfood.com: Kindle Store

I really need to get on After receiving and reviewing the first two books of the trilogy, I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation for book three. I really need to get on the ball with this reviewing business. I approached this book with much trepidation. On one hand I already loved the world and most of the characters, and I really wanted to know what was up with the cliff hanger ending … but it was the last book in the trilogy, and I didn't want it to end. Also, I was left with a blah taste in my mouth from the last book's repetitiveness … and I didn't want to read the same book for the third time in a row.

I needn't have worried. This book was delightfully new, different, surprising, amazing, wonderful, and I'd almost come to like Makilien by the end of the book. The book begins a year after the events of Courage. Unlike the previous two books, it began not in Reylaun, but in Elimar, where Makilien and Vonawyn are hiding behind a tree while strange men are shooting at them.

And they had thought the battle was over. Things make even less sense when they discover that the orders given to the men are signed with a "V" rather than the "Z" that would have pointed to Zirtan. Someone is putting Zirtan's army back together and pestering them again. On a more personal and emotional level, Makilien is still, after a year, trying to get over the fact that they hadn't been able to find a certain someone at the end of the great battle at the end of Courage.

What's worse is that, just as she was beginning to accept that he has died, she has begun waking up in the middle of the night with strong urges to pray for him. The plot twists in this book were amazing. Every time I thought I had everything figured out, it would take a new turn and I was left gasping for air.

And every time it made complete sense! As for Characters, despite the fact that I never connected with Makilien, everyone else was superb. There were many old faces, many new faces, and no one felt out of place or forced upon me. One new person was the identical twin to one of the old characters a twist I absolutely loved. I may or may not have mentioned this before, but I love twins. As for romance, Makilien's was beautiful. As for the other two, the one I had known about from book two still left me unsatisfied.

I hadn't seen them together enough in Courage and they didn't get a single moment together in Trust until the epilogue. The new one, however, was sweet and sad. I hope he someday realizes that he can have a happily ever after, even if he had been a force for evil for so long. There was another one hinted at, and I liked the hint, but I would have preferred to see her and her people in person. Guess there wasn't time for it. And there are two characters that I strongly suspect will fall in love when she gets older.

She's still seven right now, but he's an elf, so there's time. My hugest qualm with this book is that the Jesus character, who had been so important in book one, received only one or two mentions. I admired the theme of trusting in God, or Elohim, but I would have liked His Son to have received more credit. But everything else, every twist, every new character, every part of the theme of Trust was amazing.

It was a perfect conclusion to the trilogy, and while I'd like more, I don't think the author plans to write more Feb 20, Erika Mathews rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Trust, by Molly Evangeline, continues the story begun in Truth and Courage. Many of the loose ends, plots, and characters mentioned in the first two books become central to the plot of this one.

One might wonder how, with the conclusion in Courage regarding the struggle of good and evil, Trust could continue the story — but there is certainly no lack of plot, drama, and tension in Trust! This book is not a repeat of the other two. The plot is entirely fresh and new; the evil is different; the me Trust, by Molly Evangeline, continues the story begun in Truth and Courage. The plot is entirely fresh and new; the evil is different; the methods of fighting against it are different. We are again reunited with favorite characters and introduced to some new ones.

Many chapters end with cliffhangers, encouraging the reader to press on to find out what happens. Of course, the conflict is later explained. This style of writing truly makes the book interesting and enjoyable. The theme of Trust is indeed trust. Can anyone be trusted? Can they even trust each other? How can they know? This book has a more modern feel than the previous books which had a stronger medieval feel. The strategies are more advanced and developed; the humans are the central focus.

Other species do not appear as much as they did in the other books. Additionally, the violence is greater. Evil creatures simply battle and war; evil humans are much more sinister in their approaches to dealing with their enemies. Still, the painful scenes are not overdone and most people should be able to stomach the book just fine. Being a witness to how He uses all things — bad situations as well as good situations — for good strengthens the knowledge that we can indeed trust Him.

I was sitting in my room reading and Derrin just Then the phone rang so I answered, trying to keep my cool it was my mom and it didn't work so well. I tried talking and all that came out was a sob. She asked what was wrong and I couldn't talk at all so she just hung up and let me be. I liked it and am moving on to the final book.

Customer reviews

I give "Trust" 4 stars. My apologies from the beginning if this review ends up being kind of redundant. This entire series is excellent, and I'm not sure how many different ways I can invent to say it! When I told my mom that I had found a series written by a homeschooled author that was really, really good, she asked me if I was reading Eragon.

Well, it's not Eragon, but in my humble opinion, it's just as good, and better!! Molly has crafted a trilogy that crosses Tolkien's action and adventure with Lewis's faith and Biblical allegory. The result is a delight! This third book sees the beloved characters again facing trials and heartaches, but can they Trust in Elohim to see them through? I found myself getting completely lost in this world called Dolennar. For me, this only happens if the book is riveting, and it is!!

Not only is Trust an action-packed adventure novel, but it also challenges the reader to decide where they have placed their trust. So where is yours? Join Makilien and her many endearing friends to discover just Who is worthy of all our trust! You won't regret your time with them!!

Once again, I would like to extend a huge thank you to Molly Evangeline for sending me a free copy of Trust in exchange for this review! I'm so blessed and honored to have had this opportunity!! This whole trilogy was great. Well written and not hugely soppy and romantic which is odd for a female writer. The character development was great, you felt like you knew them and were with them in the story.

A fantastic story and a great trilogy. I hope Molly Evangiline will be writing for a long time. I love this sort of work, it has all I want in a book. Of the three, this book was my favorite. It has a different storyline than the first two and kept me guessing. While the battle might be smaller, the challenges are tougher for the main characters.

I wanted everyone to get their happy ending, and the ending of this book definitely delivers. There's a problem loading this menu right now. Learn more about Amazon Prime.
