Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series Book 3) by D.L. Armillei – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Helm of Awe by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Helm of Awe is a heart-pounding Book 3 that throws Van and her team into danger from all sides. Van struggles to come to terms with Suixsha, the girl who out-maneuvered her in the Jaychund games, and continues to baffle and irritate her. Suixsha is a woman of few words, but her inner calm and startling prowess in battle leave Van feeling insecure and annoyed. However, the Alignment waits for no one, so Van tries to focus on her mission, and not her rival, or her long-distance boyfriend, or the curse that awaits her in adulthood. Once again, she must quiet her inner demons, release fears that aren’t serving her, and act with integrity and compassion for all people. Her spiritual/psychological transformations in these books are well thought-out, and accompanied with exciting plot developments.

The scene in the cave was so well done, with so much coming at our heroine at once. I also really liked the parts with the family of animals she rescued. Great book, great series, great fantasy!
