Evil rising ... islanders missing ... and friends betraying. After rescuing a mysterious boy on the ocean shore, SOPHIA FREEMAN and her close friend, TIM CHARNAL, are notified of an urgent meeting that everyone must attend. The new boy, ALLEN CHAN, is equally frightened, confused, and fascinated by the new world. At the meeting, the trio learns that due to the increase in deaths on Pandilone Island, the islanders must risk a critical step: within five days they must focus their spell training and devise strategic tactics in order to free Tombermon, the god demon, from his seal to lift the Eternal Curse that he cast 150 years ago. All goes according to plan until iron-masked creatures kidnap magic users, weakening the army. As the island falls apart, Sophia comes up with a brilliant way to gain reinforcements by using Vision Transporter, a dream spell, to connect with her father to request he arrive sooner than scheduled with his air force. But this is no ordinary spellโthe trio must overcome many dangerous obstacles to collect all six items for the spell to work. From tactical sky creatures to an Underworld Emperor beast, Sophia, Tim, and Allen approach burnout as they inch closer to their journey's end. Just when things look hopeful, a close friend betrays their trust, willing to do anything to acquire the six items in exchange for becoming Tombermon's first apprentice. txtroan.com Review: Great storytelling in a fantastical world - Sophia Freeman and the Era of Darkness by TX Troan was book 3 in the series, and even though it was a clear continuation of book 2, it didn't feel like I was missing anything not having read it.

It was well written and imaginative. Sophia and Tim are great characters, and even though I don't personally know what they were like before this book, Sophia really struck me as a confident character as she goes through her adventures in a fantastical and magical world.

Further Adventures in a fascinating world!
Sophia and her best friend, Tim, are continuing their adventures in the third book of this series. I liked that the author gave a little bit of backstory in the beginning of the book, and the characters are showing growth from their previous adventures. This adventure brings new dangers as Sophia, Tim, and their new friend Allen embark on a quest to acquire magical items to help save the island. There are more interactions with the fantastical inhabitants of the island, new dangers, and some truly surprising plot twists. The story ends on a cliffhanger that will encourage young readers to look forward to the next book in the series. This is such a fun, exciting adventure series for younger readers. In addition to the great world-building and exciting plot, there are subtle lessons in the story about such topics as friendship, trust, and emotional control.

A wonderful addition to the series
As the third story of the series, this story brings us on a fantastic journey-a good book with talking owls and tree-changing boys. The curses and the prophesies follow the three series. I was so excited to see this book grow. Like being on an adventure with Sophia and her friends. And as it came to a close I found myself wanting more. This is a good fantasy series. Something to read to your children and have them enjoy following Sophia and her friends on their magical adventure.

Sophia Freeman book 3
The third book of the Sophia Freeman series starts out strong. They find people washed ashore from a suspected ship wreck. One awakens and they begin to help him. A meeting occurs quickly after that to discuss the Eternal Curse and the next steps to fix it. You would be missing a lot of character history if this was your very first read of the series, but overall another great fantasy and action book for younger readers.

Super creative series
This book really complements the series and is written so well that it keeps readers captivated. You can really see how the book ties in with the other two in the series and the storyline develops well. These books never stay flat, but keep growing in wonder and fascination for young readers. Well written and the small blips of illustration really help to keep the projected images in readers minds.

Exciting action, fun illustrations, and a good story.
This book was a lot of fun to read with my nephew, who couldn't put the book down once he started reading. My nephew loves anything fantasy related and he chewed through this book like crazy. Fun story, an imaginative world, and seeing the illustrations pop up in the book were always a treat. A great fantasy series for your pre-teen to get into the fantasy genre for sure.

Teenage read
In this part, we first get a glimpse of the previous story, which is good for those who are reading it for the first time. Overall, the plot seems similar as the characters once again embark on an adventure and face difficulties, but what is great is the fresh version of it. New phenomena, unpredictable encounters, a more rebellious journey, and more fascinating pictograms are created throughout the entire read.

Interesting series
This book has so many various elements but I loved the characters the most. The author has very good storytelling skills and that makes this whole series very interesting. I can not wait to read the next book of the series. The characters are written with such life lessons and the author has kept the exciting elements for kids like graphics in the book. I will say if you like to read kid's books or fantasy fiction books, then you will love this series and books do not belong to any age group.

Full of adventure
This book proved to be more adventurous than the previous one due to the tremendous twist in the story and kept me highly intrigued till the end. The beginning of the book is fast-paced, however, the author later slows down and then gradually builds up the story. This book comprised some stunning twirls and a cliffhanger at the end which now made me eager to go through the fourth book as soon as possible.
