This book is a fitting end to the series. I did not enjoy it as much as the previous two, however; the plot seemed rather forced in places and predictable in others. Throughout the series, I found character development quite thin. The previous books in the series left some untied ends that needed satisfying, and this book tied things up well. I was left wondering about the characters' futures and I'd like to see another series that follows after this one, perhaps with the children from these three novels. I would recommend this series to readers who don't care much about delving into the time period for history's sake, but rather for light reading.
Loved it! The Blessed is the third in a trilogy by Lisa Tawn Bergren. Very satisfying conclusion and very well written. Thoroughly enjoyed them and have passed them around to friends who also had a hard time putting them down!
