“Darkfall” by Janice Hardy



This is the third and final book in the Healing Wars series.

Nya is desperate to get Tali back, but with the Duke mobilizing his troops, she must flee to Geveg to warn the people of his incipient arrival. When she finds a surprise in Geveg, and friends start to fall, Nya must raise her own army to defeat the Duke if she ever hopes to find her true sister again.

Nya seemed a bit lost in this one, probably because of the overwhelming odds against her. The final battle was a little confusing, especially the scene with the Duke, and I guess readers are supposed to draw their own conclusions about what happened. A fitting end to Nya’s story, though, and an 8.5 from me.
