Sarah's Review of Horizon by Alyson Noel

 

I couldn’t wait to read the final book in Alyson Noel’s ‘the soul seekers’ series, Horizon. I read the first three all in a row and had to patiently wait for the fourth one to come out. I couldn’t wait to see what was in store for the main characters, Daire and Dace, along with their group of friends.

I can honestly say this final book did not disappoint. It was full of secrets, suspense, mystery and magic. The first three books, Fated, Echo, and Mystic, set you up for what will happen in the Horizon, the final chapter of either Daire Santos life or the life of all of the Richters. Daire Santos is a seeker, and the last one left, which means she is meant to save everyone she cares for from destruction from the doings of the Richter family, who are evil. In the third novel, we found out that Daire lost her grandmother, Paloma, who has taught her all she knows about being a seeker, so now it is entirely up to her to do what she was destined to do and fight against the Richters. She must try to put aside her grieving for her abuela in order to save her friends and everyone in Enchantment. Dace, the love of Daire’s life, has found a dark piece within his soul that is trying to consume him. Dace is worried it will destroy both himself and Daire, but Daire is not willing to give up on their love. While they are torn apart for the time being, you are left to wonder if their love can survive all of the odds that are stacked against them. This book is a wonderful story of good versus evil. How you need to learn to follow your instincts and look deep within yourself in order to find the truth.

The ending was wonderful, but then you read the epilogue and find a huge twist that nobody could see coming, which leaves me wondering if there will be a spin-off from this series one day in the future.

I recommend this entire series to anyone who loves a good mystery filled with magic, good and evil, light and dark, even demons. I loved each book in the series. I don't want to write anything more in case of spoiling the books. Read them and enjoy!
