Commentary Toward Books The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls #3)

It begins with a vicious tornado. (Odin on a Wild Hunt, as the young berserker Thorgil sees it.) The fields of Jack s home village are devastated, the winter ahead looks bleak, and a monster a draugr has invaded the forest outside of town.

Soon, Jack, Thorgil, and the Bard are off to right the wrong of a death caused by Father Severus. Their destination is Notland, realm of the fin folk, though they will face plenty of challenges and enemies before get they get there.

Impeccably researched and blending the lore of Christian, Pagan, and Norse traditions, this expertly woven tale is beguilingly suspenseful and, ultimately, a testament to love.

Write Up About Books The Islands of the Blessed (Sea of Trolls #3)

The last book in the trilogy is a very good conclusion to the adventure that began with the Nordic invasion of Englandand capture of a brother and sister , circa 800 AD. Nancy Farmer mixes history, fictional young characters and magic in an exciting and convincing way. I especially credit her for revealing the transition from the Saxons and Picts traditional religions to Christianity and reminding the reader thatthe overlap continues to the present day in some of our holiday practices. There is

I really liked the Sea of Trolls trilogy. The books are tailored more for young adults but I enjoyed them. Without giving any spoilers the ending seems to be a matter of interpretation between two different paths. The author seems to provide material for either direction and leaves it to the reader to decide.

While there were some good and enjoyable things about this book (for example, the story of the mermaid and the visit to the fin folk at Notland), I felt this book was the weakest of the Sea of Trolls trilogy, both in terms of its strung-together plot and the many flaws the three books suffer from. These flaws were present in the first book, though I felt them to be minor then. In the second and third books, they're more problematic because they're more central to the books' stories and themes.

Basic plot: Jack, Thorgil, and the Bard are another adventure. This time they seek a way to quiet a mermaid's ghost before she takes a murderous revenge for her unjust death.Finished the third part of the Jack saga. Having read The Land of the Silver Apples I knew that there was going to be a third book. There had been too many loose ends in Silver Apples. The reason for the one star review is because this final chapter of the story is not the story I wanted to read. I had picked it up hoping

"The Islands of the blessed" is the third book in the trilogy.It's about a boy named Jack who's a apprentice bard, his mentor, a bard called Dragon Tongue, and a girl called Thorgil. After a tornado destroys most of the food in his village and a undead spirit kills some of the livestock in search of revenge Jack, the bard and Thorgil travel to a nearby town in search of a cure for the undead spirit and food for the villagers.Their journey will lead them to many places, some deadly some not.I

This review also appears on: I enjoyed it, but I didn't fall in love with it.The plot is just what you'd expect after the first two novels. Jack and Thorgil resume their adventures with the Northmen and tie up conflicts left from "Land of the Silver Apples." Meanwhile, a new plot arises of a mermaid's angry spirit who is wreaking havoc on Jack's village. With the Bard's help, the two have to take on a creature far more powerful than themselves.The plot was fast-paced enough to be interesting.

This met the standard of The Land of the Silver Apples, but not the higher standard of The Sea of Trolls. It was a satisfying adventure story that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to people between, say, eight and fourteen, but I wouldn't recommend it to adults unless they'd enjoyed the previous books.
