Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series #3)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!

I really wish I could give this more than 5 stars! This was my favorite book of the series so far. Paley still got on my nerves but not as bad as the first two books. Van is still growing and proving herself. The side characters are still amazing. I started this as soon as I finished the second one and didn’t stop till the wee hours of the morning. It was that good! It’s filled with life lessons and I think every teenager should read it. I’m going to sweet talk mine into reading it. This author is definitely on my favorites list.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the series of Anchoress by D. L. Armillei. I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series also. Ms. Armillei is a great author. It is a warm welcome to the YA genre when an author is an artist. She could keep the attention of the YA reader throughout the entire book. Her attention to detail paints a picture in my mind’s eye. I found it an intriguing story about Van and her charmed life. She was supposed to win the senior games but that did not work out for her. Then there is her ex-boyfriend and best friend carrying on in front of her. Not to mention that her crush has not contacted her in a long time. There is so much going on that the story really moves. I finished the book in one sitting because I wanted to see what was going to happen. I highly recommend seeing what is in store for Van and her friends.

Van is back in the third book of the Anchoress series. You need to read the first two books before diving into this one. The author gives enough information from the first two books to know what’s going on, but with all the danger and action in them you really wouldn’t want to miss out. The author has a way with words that are cleverly woven and masterfully created and adventure that you get lost in it. It’s written so vividly that it’s an experience, an adventure, and not just a story. It’s an amazing book and will be through the years to come.

Van seriously is an amazing character! The author has done a brilliant job on this series. Now we are in your seventeenth year of life, and she has a lot more to conquer. With the games as part of her senior exams, there is a lot of pressure! Of course she has typical school drama like her best friend and ex. Other than that, when she enters Balish territory, that is where all heck breaks loose and you are on the edge of your seat, nose in the book. I truly loved this series! 🙂

This series just goes from strength to strength. Each book seems to be as good, if not better, than the last. I reconnect so easily with the characters each time. The author seems to have created a lasting and interesting series that sach book just adds to. I look forward to starting a new one and cannot wait to see how they are going to turn out. I would highly recommend the series to any YA fan.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing read! I really bonded well with these characters! I fell in love over and over again, the characters were easy to love. As well, the plot was beyond anything I would have expected. I had not read the previous books in the series, but was able to follow, but will for sure be reading them now though!

The story was written with very much intelligence. I enjoyed the author and how they wrote and created the story. I was swept into the task at hand. Val was great, you could tell she came a long way it seemed since from the beginning. I loved her courageous side, and she was the one who never gave up, despite anything going on. The other characters surrounding her were just as amazing. i loved how they seemed to all be one another’s rock. I loved how the story progressed , as well as a lot of time I did not know what to expect. The suspense was kept up well. I really enjoyed this book, in fact, I loved it!

Highly recommend this book. It was very well written, and the author knew how to keep the reader interested. I loved the writing style of the author as well. This is a must read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Anchoress series and they just keep getting better and better. The author’s growth of the characters and their relationships is really good and the reader feels like they have grown as the characters develop. The world’s the author creates are magical but also seem so realistic.

We are back with Van and her friends as they go on the missions every summer to find the sacred items of creation. This time Van needs to find the staff with the flame. However her boss has other ideas. She doesn’t want Van to go off searching. She needs her to go and stop the increase in demons and figure out why the shield protecting their World seems to be failing.
After completing in the Jaychund Games and failing Van starts to have doubts about her abilities but when she breaks a rule in the Balish territory she finds herself placed in another round of games. How is that fair?
Add to this Van having to watch her friend and ex boyfriend flirting at every opportunity and her crush on the Balish Prince can Van keep her focus long enough to complete her mission and solve the mystery around the third seal. Or will the distractions prove to much and with the additional worry or a virus and enemies out to get even with her she doesn’t know who she can trust and who only has her back to stab her in it.

5 Stars

 

Helm of Awe is the third book in the Anchoress Series by D.L. Armillei. I have loved every book in this wonderful series, and this story was no exception. After enjoying the previous two books so much, I had high expectations for this story. I am happy to say that Ms. Armillei didn’t let me down, delivering everything I could have hoped for, and more. That’s not to say there weren’t a few tense moments that had me a bit worried though.
As with the previous two books, this is a young adult fantasy- another adventure full of magic, demons, past enemies, a deadly plague, royal politics/agendas, assassins, set ups, threats, mystical beings/creatures, witches and wizards, dramatic developments, obstacles, good vs evil, mystery, and more.
Van’s quest finds her seemingly up against impossible odds. How can she succeed when fate seems so intent on throwing her one curve ball after another. Making things even more daunting is the fact that her powers are a bit unreliable. What happens makes for another captivating adventure.
I can’t wait to see where we go from here. What does Ms. Armillei have in store for us next? It’s sure to be fantastic!!!
Happy Reading !

Thank You, D.L. Armillei!

Van is back in the third book in this YA fantasy series. You should read the first two books before diving into this one. The author does give us enough to know what happened in the first two books, but you really don’t want to miss out on all the danger and action in them. cleverly woven and masterfully created and adventure that you soon get lost in it. It is written so vividly that it is an experience and not just a story. I have said it before, but I will say it again because it still holds true with this author; The storyline is complex and multi-layered, and the author has blended this seamlessly with her brilliant word smithing and world building.
Van is thrown into the fight for her life in this Hunger Gamesesque story. I thought the author her through her paces with the last book, but it is nothing compared to this fast-paced journey.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our favorite author is back with a third installment to their series, and it is just purely amazing. While you could read this book as a stand alone I highly recommend reading first two not only because their amazing, but also to really get a feel for our characters and the world they live in. The characters are relatable, connectable, and so fascinating that they really make the story pop. Once again the author gives us a lot of action, and intricate woven plot, but they did an amazing job giving us smooth transitions that kept the story moving perfectly. So if your looking for a great new series to read this week then pick up this book and the previous two and follow Van on her many adventurous and action packed missions.

By D L Armillei

4-stars

This was such an incredible read, it’s the third book in the Anchoress series, a series that would probably be better read in order. I had not read the previous books and was able to jump in with only a few questions along the way (they were answered in due time) but I feel like I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the first two.

This is my first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect but once I got started, I quickly realized that I was in for a heck of a ride. This storyline was nothing like I’ve ever read, it was so detailed, intense, deep, full of many different levels of character storylines and just so captivating.

I will absolutely be going back to read the first two books of the series!

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two books as well as they are just as great. This is a well written story about Van and her charmed life. She is a great character as well as the other characters in this book. They are connectable, engaging and truly made the story pop. This is a fast paced story that was hard to put down and full of action. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story which made the story easy to read. There is much going on in this story but the author did a great job of not getting me lost. Great transitions to keep the story flowing. This is a great pick up and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this YA Fantasy genre series. Just as with the previous books the author has done a wonderful job with her writing keeping me on the edge of my seat. Now, I don’t think you would have to read the books in order, but I personally would recommend that you do so just to get acquainted with the characters and the story. This story touches on so many feelings. I found myself laughing, crying, angry, but was very deeply satisfied with the ending. As with the first two books this was hard for me to put down. I highly recommend this story, especially if you or your teens love reading the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. It is great.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 of the series and just like the previous two, intense adventures and danger lie ahead. (Read books 1: Shock of Fate and Book 2: Plague of Death first). Vanessa finds herself thrown into the Jaychund Games fighting for her life. Twists and turns everywhere you look. Fast-paced thrills that will have your emotions riding up and down like a roller coaster. If you loved Hunger Games, I believe you’re going to love this series. Van and her troop of friends take you on the adventure of your life from the first page to the end. Another 5 star, I’d give it more if I could, winner for me. I highly recommend it.

Then she breaks one tiny Balish rule, and as punishment, she’s tossed headlong into another round of games. See? Totally unfair.

When Donna (D. L.) was four years old, she wrote a “story” in “cursive” and gave it to her mother to read out loud. Instead, her mother tucked the pages

into a desk drawer and suggested they read her amazing story together, in a few years, after Donna had learned how to read and write.

Now—able to read and write—Donna continues to create amazing stories. She takes readers into immersive fantasy worlds filled with action,

adventure, and a bit of romance.
