— What folks are saying about Illusion — |
This book was such an incredible ending to an amazing, complex, and beautiful series. I love this series, I love these characters, and I love the way this book made me think about the world and all the issues we face every day. Brilliant.
The conclusion to this gothic trilogy of love and folklore goes above and beyond its predecessors to bring the reader even more magic, more family history, and — hard to believe if you’ve read the first two — more edge-of-your-seat action. Every character has more depth accompanying growth, and Boone masterfully explores family history while propelling the story forward at a healthy clip. Authors take note: when bringing a series to a powerful close, Illusion shows how it’s done.
A fabulous crescendo for the Heirs of Watson Island series! Martina Boone delivers a rich, satisfying, thoughtful conclusion to the story of Barrie, Eight, Pru, and all the other characters we’ve come to love throughout this beautifully crafted Southern Gothic trilogy. I loved how she tied together all the complex aspects of history and mythology to create a story that makes you really think about the nature of perspective in history and the voices whose stories have been silenced over the years.
Wow! A beautifully written finale and the perfect ending to an amazing series! I loved every page and dreaded them at the same time since I didn’t want this book to end. And of course it made me hungry for Southern food just like the other 2 books did! I’m really going to miss this world and Barrie & Eight. Bravo Martina on a brilliant finale!
Compulsion hooked me, Persuasion swept me off my feet, and Illusion reminded me of why I fell in love with this captivating series. Reading the Heirs of Watson Island series is like reading a story that has been passed down for generations. It hooks you with its Southern Gothic charm and intoxicating romance. Enchants you with its magic, history, legend and mystery. Makes you fall in love with its characters and Boone’s beautiful writing. Most importantly, it will make you ponder the history, the magic, and the real possibility of it all. The past and present collide perfectly to give readers a beautiful ending to a fantastic series!
A great ending and a swoony Eight is my favorite kind of Eight… You guys – have you started reading The Heirs of Watson Island series? If you haven’t…you need to fix that immediately.
Eight and Barrie continue to have that push and pull romance that I have come to adore with this series. It’s not over the top love at first sight but more of a longing and need and pull to be together because there is just no way they can be apart. Boone does a nice job of wrapping up all the story lines in this series. I wasn’t left worrying about anyone and what was happening to them. The mysteries of the island come to a head and the explanation of the Fire Carrier and the bindings is revealed. A perfect finale for this series!
