Le Cercle De Feu (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

In the final Prophecy of the Sisters book, Lia is preparing for the culmination of the prophecy involving the twins in her family for generations. Finally, Samael (he's the devil or something like that) is going to be allowed into our world to wreak havoc, or banished permanently. It all depends on Lia. If she can hold out, resisting the dark forces which are getting stronger as they try to force (that's what forces do) Lia to their side (the evil one) while she is gathering the final objects/people for the spell thingy all might be well. If she can't, everyone is screwed. Along with her new boyfriend, Dimitri, Lia looks for the last key and the magic rock that is needed to complete the spell. However, one distraction Lia is not counting on is the arrival of her sister and archnemesis, Alice, in London with a fiance Lia did not expect.Alice was, strangely enough, my favorite character, probably because she didn't hide from or deny her emotions. I didn't feel much depth from any of the characters, but I liked how the only person who couldn't really be explained was Alice. She's supposed to be evil but the author goes back and forth between her acknowledging and not acknowledging her evilness, which gives me the sense that she herself is confused. Alice loves her sister, which is shown in several scenes that I believe are set up to fool Lia but also show some genuine feelings on Alice's part. The fact that Alice committed more than one murder doesn't make her despicable to me, but rather the most round character in the trilogy. Alice on her own was not capable of the murders, but was under the control/pressure/influence of the Souls (Samael's minions). The only thing that annoyed me about Alice was how obvious she made to Lia her feelings for James. Anytime she mentioned or showed how she felt about him I was convinced she was doing it just to get Lia to believe it for some master plan. Speaking of James, that guy is nothing like he was in Book 1. In the first Prophecy book James was sweet, intelligent, and crazy about Lia. In Circle of Fire he's wimpy, idiotic, and crazy about Lia. I understand the whole getting depressed because the girl he loves left him thing but I don't get why he had to go and get engaged to her twin sister. If he really wanted to get over her he should have avoided any and all reminders of Lia or at least waited a little longer before getting engaged. He's only 19 or 20-what's the rush? His choices are to hold out for the girl he loves to return and hope that there's a future there or to go and get engaged to her twin sister who looks exactly like her and lose any chance of ever getting back together with her. Being a mortal involved with the sisters in the whole wacky practically sororicidal (as in sororicide-killing one's sister) prophecy is not a good situation to be with, and if the two sisters' goal was to ruin the life of an innocent guy, they succeeded.During Lia's quest she accidentally alienates several of her friends (although I don't see how Sonya can resent her at all after what she did in the previous book). After pages and pages of complaints and explanations came the long-awaited apologies and make-ups, which were a tad simpler than I expected. After reading so much angst and anxiety over the quarrels I thought the make-ups would take some time and that the friends would slowly rebuild their relationships rather than just do it all in one shot and be back to normal. In this series there is no gray area in relationships, rather everyone is either allies or enemies, in love or not into each other at all, get along amazingly or can barely tolerate each other and the apologies are a clear example of all of that. The ending to the trilogy was very good, if not totally predictable. I don't want to give anything giant away but if you think you know what will happen, you're probably right. The magic, however, was not as clear cut. Maybe it was because I didn't pay that much attention to it in the first and second books, but by book 3 I was a little very confused about how the whole magic-key-prophecy-sister thing worked. I just went along with whatever the characters were saying and doing without a second thought because I really lost track of it. This series really started off with a bang and then just kind of lost steam -- which was disappointing. Prophecy of the Sisters, was so full of creepy characters, mystery, intrigue, and suspense. I was actually reading the book with all the rooms lights on. It was refreshing in that the whole story was not about romance. Unfortunately, the second book was meh and the third book followed suite. I didn't actually finish this book, after three days of trying to force myself to read it I just closed the book for good (it was shaping up to end how we all assumed it would!), what was the point?

What do You think about Le Cercle De Feu (2011)?

Pretty good. Kinda sad about the ending. But it was a very good trilogy.
