The epic conclusion to The Scythe Wielder's Secret.

My take on this book:

A terrific ending to a beautiful trilogy by a fantastic author.

Daughter of Deaths by Christopher Mannino brings us to a fantastic close to this excellent trilogy. I count myself as lucky to have been asked to read it. This book is so brilliant. I will try not to spoil anything.

This book starts kind of where the second book ended, and it’s just a roller coaster ride from there. We have Will figuring some things out from some dragons to Sindril telling Susan why she is there in the World of Deaths, that is important for him to have her here to Frank, Michi, and Cronk trying to save them to the War and then the ending.

Again Mr. Mannino has divided this book up into three different third-person points of view. Still, once again, they work well together, especially when they reveal how some people can handle some things that are very different for the four young heroes (Susan, Will, Frank, and Michi). We also meet some new characters in the Elementals species, some as dragons’ species, and some new species’ as well. This book is just filled with so much information that I am hoping that Mr. Mannion will have more stories from this world.

The three different points of view are the same as the second book Susan, Frank, and Will. Susan’s, who is also really grown into herself in this book, Frank’s because he has an interesting role, and Will’s because is Susan’s best friend, housemate and her boyfriend. Together these three characters, who, with the help of their friends, have grown and had to push themselves to stand against the things that they are afraid of throughout the book.

We met a lot of new characters that are Elementals and Dragons in this book. Too many to name them and to give you what I thought of them. There is a new character, a child with great power. I don’t want to spoil it, though, but I can say that it ties into the name of the book. We also encounter a new species… Well kind of. They are called the Swarm by Frank, and they are Fire themselves. They help Susan throughout the book once she and Will join back up with Frank.

This book is just filled with so much information and action and about countless other stories waiting to be told within it. Much like what Susan powerful speech once the war was done is about. There were some things that I kind of did dislike. Like some of the time skipping around, which I know was important for the story but kind of made me lose track of how old Susan really is, and that Will wasn’t really there much in the story. But I did like how Frank didn’t force Susan to take him with her to protect her since he knew that she is capable of protecting herself. I was also wondering what happened to the other Deaths that were worshipping the Shadow Dragon King.

Daughter of Deaths by Christopher Mannino is an awesome book and one I would recommend to everyone that loves books like this especially the young adult readers of my blog, basically all readers. I also believe there are more stories to be told within this world even if it’s in short story form (hint, Mr. Mannino). I am very happy about how this story turned out. I am also giving this book five stars because it’s such an amazing book and a very fabulously good ending for the trilogy.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
