Book Description:
Since Lucifer claimed victory at Armageddon, demons, angels, and humans have coexisted in uneasy harmony. Those with waning magic are trained to maintain peace and order. But hostilities are never far from erupting…
After years of denying her abilities, Noon Onyx, the first woman in history to wield waning magic, has embraced her power. She’s won the right to compete in the prestigious Laurel Crown Race—an event that will not only earn her the respect of her peers but also, if she wins, the right to control her future.
However, Noon’s task is nearly impossible: retrieve the White Heart of Justice, a mythical sword that disappeared hundreds of years ago. The sword is rumored to be hidden in a dangerous region of Halja that she is unlikely to return from. But Noon’s life isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance. The sword holds an awesome power that, in the wrong hands, could reboot the apocalypse—and Noon is the only one who can prevent Armageddon from starting again…
My Review
This one is the best so far! WOW! I am still a little devastated, but of some happenings, but I can’t wait to see where we go from here. So in the first two books, we learn that things are not the same anymore, I mean Armageddon did happen here people. Noon is at a school and she works with other demons, angels, the council, her parents who kind of blew me away in this one. She learns that she has some excellent friends, and she learns that friends she used to have may be the worst kind of enemy. It was just wow. AND some people died who shouldn’t have, some people died and I SERIOUSLY CHEERED, and some other people should have died but didn’t LOL I know right. This one is an action packed piece of excellence!
So, Noon is learning some things, and she wants to win this race, which is seriously like a suicide mission, but because of her background, she thinks it’s going to help her future. Things have been complicated for her for a long time, she just wants something simple. And then, the poo hits the fan and it’s all down hill for her. 🙂 However, she is such a trooper, and hot damn if she doesn’t make it, no matter what. This is a seriously strong girl. And my heart broke for her a little. Or a lot, at the end. *sigh* we’re gunna see how this plays out. Which is why I will skip the discussion of the manly parts, because things did not take the turn I wanted. Instead, it blew through the stop sign, skipped the curve, and went right over the cliff, so we’re gunna see what will happen in her romance part of life LOL
So, Noon works her butt off, almost dies twice, or maybe three times, is almost assassinated, almost froze to death, and her guardian is awesome. He love life sucks though. Her brother is very cool. I want a brother like him. And along the way of trying to survive, she’s also trying to race against time to win the race. If this girl isn’t bad ass, then I don’t know what is!
This is such a great world to be in. The creation of things are so fantastic. I wanna see all those cool things, and I totally wish my brain worked where I could really see TarTarus in my head. And those Berghests, I wish I had one! 🙂 And I can’t wait to see where she goes with that part too. Overall, how can you not want to be a part of this one! I cannot wait for the next step. I have a feeling the next one is going to have some major crazy going on LOL 🙂 5 MAGNIFICENT BERGHEST PAWS!!!

Hi Maghon– I try not to comment on reviews unless invited to, but sometimes I break my own rule, especially when it’s a review like this!!! How can I not post here and say THANK YOU!! You are so supportive and awesome. I LOVED hearing your thoughts on WHOJ.
As for another book, I’m trying to decide that now. But reviews like this (and comments from others as well) have me thinking it would be FUN! 😀
Best wishes to you and everyone here at Happy Tales and Tails!
p.s. I’d love to have a barghest too! Not sure what my new cat, Ginger, would say about it though. 😉
This is such an amazing giveaway: even without the wonderful review, I’d want to read the books. Do the books need to be read in order? I must read them. Thanks for a great post.
Hi Michelle, you don’t have to read previous books to enjoy the most recent, but the story will have more resonance and meaning if you do. Part of the fun is watching Noon’s character grow and evolve.
Natalia, thanks for the compliment! Your cmt was fun to read. 🙂
Ashley, my pleasure. Good luck and happy reading!
