Standing in the Light by M.A. Abraham – a Review
Description:
Just as the yearly Celebration of Light comes to an end, the Kings of the Empire are ordered to travel to the city of Torendal by the Fates. A barely recovered Eden and Gabriel travel to the city as well, for she has been summoned to serve as the voice for the Great Guardian when the time is right.
The Kings wonder what task could take the talents of every leader in the Empire to accomplish, but they don’t hesitate to answer the call. What will their quest be this time, or will it be one? They can’t help but wonder how some of those from the Kingdoms that are in disarray will arrive in time as well. No one knows the answers to any of their questions. The only thing they can be certain of is the sense of destiny that is winding around their conscious beings and,that whatever awaits them, will catapult the Empire into a new era.
Review:
Standing in the Light by M.A. Abraham is the 3rd book in her One Empire series. This is a very difficult review to write, as Standing in the Light is a novella, and more of an emotional story line that needs to be read.
Standing in the Light brings back all of the elves we have loved from the Eleven Chronicles, as well as the One Empire series. As peace has come to many Elven kingdoms, the Great Guardian has called all the Kings together.
The Great Guardian, Sentinel and Talisman have made a plan to help each of the kingdoms bring their land back to prosperity, but to do so, they need young Tratchers to be sent to each of those lands. They are responsible to nourish, protect and help in bringing the young saplings to life; as their goal is to be the voice for each of their Sentinels over the years. The emotional impact is the this would change the lives of everyone, as their children will move on, even at a young age, with some older Tratchers to build their lives.
A big part of this is the Eagle Claw family who will find their family disrupted, but all of part of destiny.
Standing in the Light was a fast read, somewhat emotional, but a very well written story by M.A. Abraham that brings some things we loved to a close.
