The people of the desert needed someone to believe in. Button knew she was their only hope with the child she will bore. T’la was abandoned by her mother, Button at birth due to the circumstance she was in not by will. Facing the threat posed by the darkness each and every day. Now it was time for Button to fulfill her promise to the people of the desert. As they embark on the journey to free the desert people from all they are going through, they are faced with different obstacles. Suffering, loss, Freedom and relief are all the characters go through as they try to bring water to a barren land.
The Lost Heir’s Promise, the third book in the Inheritance Ring Trilogy, by Chris Gourley is entrancing and captivating. The different adventures and things they have to go through are fascinating. The writer has a wide imagination that she pleasantly displays through her writings. For example, the scrabblers, and insectoids who happen to be scavengers. The book is plot-driven as well as character-driven. T’las growth is portrayed as she finally calls Button a’benari which means mother. This explores the theme of self-identity as she finally comes to terms with who she is and what her mother represents. Button’s character shows resilience as well as hope. The plot also unfolds as they look for ways to solve their different troubles.
I loved reading this book. Not only does it transport you to another world but also entrances you with collective words used from the world created by the author. The author also includes a Lexicon at the end of the book that serves as a reference for some of the vocabulary she uses. This book can also be read as a stand-alone but I would highly advise starting from the first book. This just means getting a better understanding of the world created and bonus books to read for the writing is done and expressed well.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. I would highly recommend it to people who love fantasies.
