Summary

The final Guardians Trilogy novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bay of Sighs and Stars of Fortune.

As the hunt for the Star of Ice leads the six guardians to Ireland, Doyle, the immortal, must face his tragic past. Three centuries ago, he closed off his heart, yet his warrior spirit is still drawn to the wild. And there's no one more familiar with the wild than Riley - and the wolf within her....

An archaeologist, Riley is no stranger to the coast of Clare, but now she finds herself on unsure footing, targeted by the dark goddess who wants more than the stars, more than the blood of the guardians. While searching through Irish history for clues that will lead them to the final star and the mysterious Island of Glass, Riley must fight her practical nature and admit her sudden attraction to Doyle is more than just a fling. For it is his strength that will sustain her and give her the power to run towards love - and save them all....

Loved it!

I wasn't sure about buying the guardians trilogy, but am so glad I did! All three books are excellently narrated and the story is engaging and magical. I am a Nora Roberts fan but have never read this type of fantasy from her so wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. Highly recommend 💜

Fire, Water and Ice- A winning Finale

What made the experience of listening to Island of Glass the most enjoyable?

It was the narrative style; the writing was poetic and very descriptive; made me want to visit Ireland and see it for myself.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I felt satisfied, as it was happy; it felt final. In my opinion, however, there could have been more about what happened, say; a year or two after.All in all,however; I really enjoyed it.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene where we visited the fabled Island of Glass and all of its beauty. I do wonder if it would look different in different parts of the world, as it is not a fixed location.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was a mixture of emotions; though I had to say I was laughing at some parts;.

Any additional comments?

If you're planning on reading this- definitely start with the first one(Stars of Fortune), if you read/listen to this; you're going to miss out on some serious character development.
Happy Reading!

Amazing book.

Where does Island of Glass rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is in my top 50 books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved rylie because of her connections and also her fearless attetude. However i loved Doyle just as much as he had a lot to cope with but he was loyal and true.

What about Saskia Maarleveld’s performance did you like?

I thought that she read the book really well, and the fact that she kept the characters identity threw out the whole book.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was happy and sad in parts.

Any additional comments?

Fantastic series of books, it is one i will come back to in the future that is for sure. Not a fan of fanticy normally but this is making me think that i should give the jonra more of a chance.
