The Highlander's Victory (Legends of Lanaria) Paperback – November 7, 2023

I enjoyed this 3rd book in the series, in many ways, even better,than the 1st and 2nd books.For one thing, there seemed to be more scriptures,and deeper faith content.Strangely, the prayer to save her brother,was not answered by God,but in a way, it had a comforting aspect to it,as it was later explained, that her brotherwas now free of pain etc. etc.Some of the ( Irish or Scottish words?)were beyond my ability to pronounce,tho I did figure out a few of the meanings of some of them.And there are still parts of the whole issueI am not totally gettingother than darkness, sin and evil abound...( Just like in our times).But some of the faith content was excellent.I am looking forward to the next in the series.

I really enjoyed this continuation of the series, but it took me awhile to reacquaint myself with the world and plot. So I highly recommend reading this in sequence with the other novels-it can't be read as a standalone.As for Isla, she is a bit unlikable at first, constantly ignoring, belittling, and hurting those who love her. Yet, as her brother and manservant confront her and she suffers loss, she grows and develops well over the course of the story. And there's an event in this story that was honestly bold of the author to do and had me quite sad.The plot itself is extremely fast paced. At times, my brain had difficulties keeping up with the skirmishes and action of the various characters. To be honest, it felt rushed, but that could be because it is a shorter book.As for world building, the names of the places and even the wolf itself were unpronounceable. Because of this, I ignored them and only got the basic gist. I think the author was going for an Israel and Judah vibe from the Old Testament. That was pretty cool since there were references to Deborah, a judge from the Bible. I also forgot about the will o wisps and other fantastical creatures in this world-they were treated as demonic, but it was still interesting to see them.Overall, there were great messages about fully submitting to God, light overcoming darkness, and humility. I enjoyed this story, but definitely felt like it was not as developed as the others (but then again, they were longer). So I couldn't decide between 4 and 5 stars-4.5 is the best I got!A great story to follow the others!

This series has been epic!! It's a wonderfully written tale of good versus evil. I can't wait for the next.

This series is so much fun, but this one is my favorite volume so far! I loved the themes, action, and the sibling bonds. EPIC!
