12. REVIEW: Key of Valor by Nora Roberts

Friday, April 15, 2005

Key of Valor by Nora Roberts is the third book in the exciting key trilogy. This series of books tell the story of three women chosen to release three demi goddesses that share their likeness. These demei goddesses have been locked in a a coma like state, soul less, for the last three thousand, and the only thing that can free them are a set of three keys that can only be opened by three chosen ones, one key for each woman chosen and for one woman locked in a dreamless sleep.

I had read the first book in trilogy, Key of Light, and when I saw the third available for sale in the bargain bin for my local bookstore, I grabbed it immediately. This last book in the trilogy follows Zoe, the last of the three women to go on her quest for the key. She's the one that shares the face of the warrior of the three sisters that are locked in stasis. Since she is the last to go, she faces far more problems than the previous two women. She also has a harder road because of her own past and insecurities.

In the end, the quest is successful. Of course, there is a happy ending, but the road is long to get there. I've read two of the three books in the trilogy, and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them, and I am considering picking up the second, Key of Knowledge, to read as well.

Nora Roberts is one of the most well known romance authors of our time. With millions of books sold and several titles in print, one can never really go wrong picking up one of her novels. The Key trilogy has the right amount of romance, love, inner turmoil, and outside action to keep someone thoroughly entertained and turning the pages.
