About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the transition from childhood to young adulthood and needs to see a heroine who balances immense power with a deep sense of responsibility. As the final installment in The Immortals series, it serves as a powerful metaphor for coming into one's own while realizing that even our mentors are fallible, complicated people. Daine and her teacher Numair must navigate the literal realm of the gods to save their world, forcing Daine to finally claim her divine heritage and decide what kind of adult she wants to become. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated handling of Daine's growth. While it contains high fantasy violence and complex magical systems, the core is a story about loyalty, identity, and the courage to face world-ending stakes. It is an excellent choice for 10 to 14 year olds who enjoy epic adventures but are ready for more nuanced emotional dynamics and the weight of serious choices.
