Synopsis

The final book in the enchanting epic fantasy series for fans of Robert Jordan, from the founder of Dragonmount.The world is Changed.Fifty-four years have passed since Crow Tallin, the catastrophic celestial event that merged Fayün and the human world. One devastating result of that cataclysm is that most human babies are born fused with fay spirits. The Mystics of Kelt Apar, once beloved, are blamed for this worldwide phenomenon.On the island of Moth, the Barons have declared the Myst illegal and imprisoned all Mystics under house arrest. Under the watchful eyes of deadly Hunters, a much-older Pomella AnDone now lives as a prisoner at Kelt Apar with her granddaughter and apprentice Mia, as well as the rapidly declining High Mystic of Moth, Yarina Sineese.When the time comes to conduct the ceremony intended to pass the title of High Mystic from Yarina to her successor Vivianna, something goes horribly wrong, leaving the lineage of Mystics in doubt.With new rivals seeking to claim Moth for their own, Pomella must undergo a dangerous dreamwalk into the mind-bending and heart-wrenching Mystic Skies in order to learn the mystical name of the island itself.In this epic conclusion to Jason Denzel’s The Mystic Trilogy, which spans decades and timeless realms and dreams, Pomella must confront her greatest and most personal challenge yet. For the Deep mysteries of the world will reveal themselves only to the most powerful and dedicated of Mystics.

Mystic Skies is the final book in Jason Denzel’s fantasy series, The Mystic Trilogy. On the whole, this series was an average fantasy read.

The pacing was also crazy slow in the beginning, which only made the structure of the book more confusing because of all the......more

I have a very good reason for not finishing this book far earlier. I knew what I was in for, having read an earlier draft, and I have not had the emotional wherewithal to revisit the experience again until now.
