Loved it! The Blessed is the third in a trilogy by Lisa Tawn Bergren. Very satisfying conclusion and very well written. Thoroughly enjoyed them and have passed them around to friends who also had a hard time putting them down!
This book is a fitting end to the series. I did not enjoy it as much as the previous two, however; the plot seemed rather forced in places and predictable in others. Throughout the series, I found character development quite thin. The previous books in the series left some untied ends that needed satisfying, and this book tied things up well. I was left wondering about the characters' futures and I'd like to see another series that follows after this one, perhaps with the children from these three novels. I would recommend this series to readers who don't care much about delving into the time period for history's sake, but rather for light reading.
