Key to Tirumfall (The Tirumfall Trilogy Book 3) by J Drew Brumbaugh – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Key to Tirumfall by J. Drew Brumbaugh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key to Tirumfall is the exciting, emotional and gripping third and final book in Brumbaugh’s ‘The Tirumfall Trilogy’. The three books do need to be read in series order to gain the most understanding and enjoyment from them. This is another epic fantasy adventure by J Drew Brumbaugh which is set in a fantasy world “of wizards and dragons, swords and demons, and power and war amidst love, friendship, and family loyalty”. Isabella has always been told that she is the child of prophecy by the demon lord who has raised her but she’s not! Gwen is the real child of prophecy, however she does not know that she is. Gwen has grown up with her adoptive parents and brother Seth and has been taught the art of wizardry. Both Gwen and Isabella set off on separate adventures which lead them both to the Tower at Tirumfall, a mysterious tower that is said to hold the secrets of the greatest wizards, and towards each other. Both of their journeys are dangerous and fraught with setbacks that will threaten their lives and test their relationships.
The big question throughout the book is who will be able to unlock the mysterious Tower at Tirumfall which has been sealed for thousands of years and if it’s open will it solve anything or make things worse. If its Gwen who gains access to the ultimate magic which is inside how will all that power affect her and the people she loves. This is the mystery which kept me gripped as I read this classic fantasy adventure. I felt totally engaged and immersed in this story due to the authors wonderful world building. I loved the main characters as they are all fascinating and well defined and all bring something different to the story. Brumbaugh’s detailed descriptions and wonderful narrative really make this novel and the trilogy as a whole come alive. Once again the plot is action packed and full of mystery, drama, and suspense which had me hooked from start to finish. A great conclusion to the ‘Tirumfall Trilogy’.
