Review: Good Stand Alone Story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 9, 2014
I used to like trilogies/series type stories in the past but I've kind of got burned out with them anymore.  Harry Potter, Eragon, and the constant supply of new "series" stories that every author seems to want to get people hooked on tend to get on my nerves, especially those that end in the dreaded "cliffhanger!"  I will try a new one if the first book is free, but it's pretty rare that I get so caught up in the story that I want to buy more.  As for the "Shattered Messiah Trilogy," the jury is still out.I really did like "The Last Goddess," the first book in the trilogy.  It kept me interested all the way through and I found myself identifying with and rooting for the good guys, especially Root and the mysterious girl they find in the coffin.  I liked the loyalty of the good guys and that they were willing to risk their lives for each other.  I also liked how most issues were resolved and most questions were answered to my satisfaction.  Of course there are still a few things to be resolved which leads in to the next book, but if I stop here I can still be content.With all that said, I'll admit that right now I'm actually tempted to buy the next in the trilogy to see if it's as good as the first one.  I'll have to let you know if I do, but I do recommend this first book.  It's good.
