    About this ebook

    The concluding part of this intriguing gothic magic fantasy.

    Powerful love comes with a price. Who will be the sacrifice?

    Kami Glass has lost the boy she loves, is tied to a boy she does not, and faces an enemy more powerful than ever before. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her new magical link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town.

    Sorry-in-the-Vale has a new master, and he demands a death. Kami must use every resource to try and stop him, and together with friends Rusty, Angela and Holly, she uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility, and a painful choice… a choice that will risk not only Kami's life, but also the lives of all those she loves most.

    • 5/5
      Actual Rating: 4.5 starsFor more reviews, Cover Snark and more, visit A Reader of Fictions.*applauds* Unmade, to me, deserves much applause. I can’t say that this book or series is flawless, even by my limited measure. It’s not. However, it’s brilliant in two major ways: 1) every book in this series improves on what came before and 2) this book mucked about with my feels like I was a piece of clothing in a washing machine. This is not so easily done. For fans of the series, Unmade will make you an emotional wreck and even prouder to be a fan of the Lynburn Legacy.I’ve read the full series over the last two months. I’m really sad to be done with it. The fact is that I’m not ready to let Kami, Angela, Jared, Holly and Rusty go. I’m sorry, Ash. I wish you well, but I still am able to let you go happily enough. These characters have come to vibrant life for me and closing out their story leaves me feeling separated from friends, in a way that’s perhaps not unlike Jared and Kami’s severing; I know they’re still there, but I don’t know them as intimately and have no way of tracking their actions.Once again, I must praise the brilliant bantery writing. It’s perfection. I bonded so hard to Angela and Kami and Rusty because they all major in banter. They’re my favorites for a reason. I know everyone isn’t into wordplay, but nothing’s better for me than that. The tone of this series changes so perfectly. With each installment, the tone gets darker. By Unmade, things are pretty heavy. You actually get to see what Sorry-in-the-Vale is like without banter and it’s a sad place made of pain. Finding humor in the situation is the only way that Kami’s gang get through the tough times.Now I know I’ve mocked Ash a bit. He can sort of banter, but he’s ultimately just not someone who interests me. What I do enjoy about Ash is that he’s the more obvious love interest in a lot of ways. His appearance is perfect, where Jared’s is marred by a scar. Ash is polite and thoughtful. On paper, he’s so great. With Kami’s connection to him, the reader gets a view into Ash’s mind and I like that he’s very different under the surface. Unmade makes him a bit more real, which is cool. I did find the scene where he suddenly confesses love to Kami a bit strange. Later it became clear what was going on but it was very abrupt. Also odd was Rusty doing the same thing in the next scene. Like, DAMN.Discussing this book without spoilers is a challenge. All I can really say is that I think the plot worked pretty well. A lot of it was predictable on a larger scale. Choices were set up and not a surprise. Except for one. I think the predictability works fairly well, since Kami is the sort of person to research a bunch before taking action. Things that she does are not going to come out of left field, and I like that about her. Even when she does something impulsively, it’s a whole different realm of impulsive than Jared’s or Lillian’s. This is why Kami’s plans turn out much better in general.The romance is very sweet. All of the couples’ romantic problems are not due to the larger scenario. I’ve praised this before, but I continue to be so glad of that. The romantic fate of Kami and Jared has very little to do with Rob. Yeah, they might die because of him, which would put a damper on the relationship, but that’s it. The struggles of all of the couples are those of trust; they need to learn to believe that the other person truly cares. My one sadness ship-wise is that I ended up with a bit of a crackship, which usually does not happen to me. Damn you, Jon and Lillian, and your adorable banter, for not being meant to be.Also, the star of this book? Jon Glass. I love this man so damn much. He’s one of the best fathers in YA. He’s loving and caring and also completely hilarious. Kami is so much like her dad and we finally get to really know him and he is impossible for me to not love. It’s rare to see the parents’ relationship get development, but that happens here. I adore Jon Glass.The series lacks for me in a handful of ways that are inconsequential in terms of my emotional enjoyment, but do keep me from quite swooning utterly. The lack of Britishness is pretty consistent, with one or two scenes per book that remind you that this is not actually America, as much as it reads like it could be. Rob never became anything more than a psychopath. He lacked motivation and development. He’s fine as a villain, creepy certainly, but I wanted more from him. View Spoiler » I also thought that Henry’s character ended up being narratively pointless. I like Henry okay, but I think the only thing he actually accomplished was to be a source of romantic confusion, since people thought Holly might be into him. View Spoiler »This series was magnificent in the feels and some of the best banter to exist ever. Might I casually suggest a spin-off series about Angela and Holly? Pretty please?
    • 5/5
      A fitting end to a great series. Just. so. good.
    • 5/5
      Last of trilogy about Sorry-in-the-Vale, Kami and her family and friends, and the Lynburns.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this because of the way it explores family and friendship. The character's interactions - amongst the team of good guys - are both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny.But the whole community is, from the start, in a situation which CANNOT go on. There's torture and human sacrifice involved. There's no point where you-the-reader think (putting yourself into the shoes of the characters) if nothing goes wrong, we could carry on like this, we'd be okay, no then we got to Rivendell and thought we could go home moment, although there's almost one before everything goes up in flames.It's not as gruesome and graphic as it could be - in fact, I think it's quite understated and that's horrifying enough.It's just not quite... my kind of Gothic fantasy. I think I'd prefer to read about these characters if they were all stuck on a desert island together...
    • 4/5
      The Lynburns ruled the town of Sorry-in-the-Vale for generations, and now they're back and demanding blood sacrifices. One of the Lynburns is a boy Kami always knew, but never knew was real: their minds have been linked since they were born, and they know each other as well as they know themselves. (The imaginative way Brennan presents the weirdness and challenges this entails make this the best published take on soulmates or telepathy that I've read yet.) Together, Kami and her friends create alliances against Rob Lynburn who is bent on controlling the entire town.

      The magic in this book is very exciting, and there are a number of moments that made me want to pump my fist in the air. The flipside of these exciting magical battles is the examination of grief and death that runs through this whole book. The undercurrent of what it means to be in love, what it means to know someone else and treasure them, builds to reveal an unexpected but much-appreciated climax in this final book in the Unspoken trilogy.
    • 4/5
      In a village in England there lives a community, there's also a big house with a family who have been the ancestral power in this town, the Lynburns. What is different about Sorry-in-the-Vale is that this family are magicians and that the village powers them, sometimes with their blood. The family went away for a while but now they're back and they have plans, plans that will cost people dearly.Oh man, this was a great end to the series. Satisfying and well done I enjoyed it hugely.
    • 4/5
      This was a very satisfying series conclusion, even if I didn't love every single bit of the way things tied up at the end. And I may have mentioned it before but: KAMI. Ahem.
    • 5/5
      It is hard to talk about the third book in a trilogy without spoiling the story for people who haven't read the rest or haven't had a chance to read this one yet. I feel that I can confidently say that I was extremely satisfied with the conclusion to this story.Kami and her friends are facing overwhelming odds as they try to protect their town and the people they love from the evil sorcerer Rob Lynburn. The relationship between Kami, Ash and Jared is as twisted and tangled as it could possibly be and doesn't make any of them happy. Risky chances are taken, sacrifices are made, and hearts are broken and mended. This is an excellent series. Kami hasn't lost her unique narrative voice or her habit of making jokes whenever the emotions run high. Angela and Rusty are also the sources of some great dialog. I laughed out loud on a number of occasions. I love the relationship Kami has with her Dad. She can take the risks she does because she knows she has his unconditional love and support. Brennan has a way with playing with this reader's emotions. I went from laughing out loud to getting all choked up and crying at one point in this story. I will be glad to share this story with my students.
    • 4/5
      Third book in the Lynburn Legacy series: Everything is going very badly for Kami, Jared, Ash, and the others in Kami’s friends and family; the evil sorceror controls most of the town and only the fact that he’s Jared’s father holds him back from doing even worse. As usual, there’s plenty of Buffy-sharp banter during tense situations—Kami lampshades it as her method of coping—and missed connections with somebody longing for someone else (but thankfully not allowing it to interfere with the business of saving the town). Ultimately I think I liked the Demon’s Lexicon books better, but this was certainly an engaging read.
