Summary: BRAVO GREAT SERIES........................
Review: I have been anxiously awaiting for this book, and even though I have not quite completed it yet I have enjoyed it. It is now Dana's turn to find the second key,that stands for knowledge. Beside her stands Jordan Hawke, a writer who was Dana's former lover who left her to become a writer, who came back to lay claim back home. I enjoy this book even more than Key of Light and that book is hard to beat. I enjoy the ineractions that the characters have together especially Zoe's and Brad's comments to each other. Also Moe the dog makes his apperances and Simon, Zoe's young son also plays a bigger part. New characters also make it interesting. Can't wait for Key of Valor,when Zoe will have to find the third Key. I know Brad and the others will also have a bigger part in this book of series. I know it will be exciting. Read this series you will enjoy it.

Summary: Zzzzzzzzz
Review: I love Nora Roberts writing, mostly. However, the characters in this trilogy are a rerun of her female characters in all of her other trilogies, ie: "The Born In"; "The Dream"; "Three Sisters Island" trilogy, etc. In the first of this triad "Key of Light" there is her level headed business oriented Malory. In "Key of Knowledge" the foul mouthed, brittle, macho Dana; and finally, in forthcoming "Key of Valor" Zoe, the uber female with an out of wedlock kid this time. All three women are introduced in the first book of this trilogy "Key of Light". The three males who bed and wed these women are reruns of the males found in the abovementioned trilogies as well. This time around the three damsels in distress are placed in a truly unbelievable situation of quasi magic interfacing with reality. This trilogy requires that the reader suspend rationality totally which one could if this were in the futuristic vein that she presents in her outstanding romance-thriller series written under her pen alterego name J.D.Robb. Those stories have a real edginess with her hip, tender-tough warrior-heroine Eve Dallas. I have a sense of Nora going a bit stale character wise in this Key series. Read them and judge for yourself.

Summary: Excellent second book in a great trilogy!
Review: I love this kind of book. Strong women, strong men who love them, a touch of the mystical, add a difficult quest, and bang, you have the makings of a great read, in my opinion. In this second in the Key trilogy, it is book-lover Dana's turn to find the mysterious key that will unlock the souls of the three lost princesses. Naturally she resembles one of the princesses in the series of paintings of them. And just as naturally she falls in love along the way and finds the key . . . . I love how the three main female characters continue to forge a strong relationship in this book, just as the three main men. I also love how they are working together not only to complete the quest, but also to create a new business and new lives for themselves. And never once does anyone whine about anything--I love that, too! I do not usually prefer books set in the modern day, but in Nora Roberts; case, I make exceptions. I have found that her work is hit or miss for me, I either love it or hate it. This series I love! And if you're like me, you will too. Do yourself a favor, buy Key of Valor at the same time so you can dive right into it when you're done. Buy a box of Godiva, put a fire in the fireplace and take a weekend for YOU!

Summary: Another Great Nora Roberts Series - Fun and somewhat scary!
Review: I read all three books of this series and would highly recommend them to Nora Roberts Fans - especially if you can read them in order (so hang onto this book until you can read book one first). The first book set the stage, introduced all the characters and really got the reader into the story line of good vs. evil. Book two continued the story and the last book tied up all the loose ends and was a good completion to the overall theme. All the characters are important in each book and they continue to evolve throughout the books and become better at recognizing when they are being tricked by the bad guy (Kane). Each woman has to grow in some way - overcome her fears, face her own inner demons (something Kane preyed upon), in order to find her true happiness (happily with a wonderful guy - in traditional Nora Roberts fashion). Good does overcome evil and wonderful friendships are established. This is a "feel good" series that will keep you on the edge as Kane becomes meaner and meaner as he loses the battle.

Summary: Nora Roberts at her best
Review: I waited anxiously for the release of Key of Knowledge, and I was not disappointed in the least. Previous fans of Nora Roberts's trilogies will be pleased because Key delivers a wonderful romanace about ex-lovers reconciling and falling in love again, where previous book Face the Fire disappointed. Jordan and Dana are quick witted characters who will make you laugh and possibly cry. Added to the main plot, the story of Mallory and Flynn from Key of Light continues and the story of Key of Valor is set up. All the while the reader works along with Dana in her quest to find the Key, and possibly herself. This is Nora Roberts at her best, giving readers a fun, intriguing, heart warming book. I hope other readers will enjoy.

Summary: excellent
Review: In Pleasant valley, Pennsylvania, three women were invited to attend a cocktail party hosted at a castle by people they never met before. Intrigued each one shows up as well as three men. The women learn they are the chosen to rescue the stolen souls of the three "daughters of glass". Each one will seek a special key that will open the locks that imprison Ninkane, Venora, and Kyna. Others have tried and failed as the God Kane is powerful, tricky, and willing to kill his antagonists. Last month Malory Price was first up and successfully found the KEY OF LIGHT. She also fell in love with one of the trio of men accompanying the hunt. Now librarian Dana Steele draws the short straw and begins her quest for the KEY OF KNOWLEDGE. She has one month to succeed or the entire mission fails. Though she knows that at some point she will go it alone, her allies help her, but especially Jordan Hawke. She loved him once, but he left her without a look back. Jordan is willing die to keep his beloved safe. Kane is willing to accommodate Jordan, but killing Dana is an option. The key to a Nora Roberts novel is the believability of the characters who, regardless of the situation (even a fantasy setting), seem genuine. That is the case in KEY OF KNOWLEDGE as it was with its predecessor and guaranteed to occur with the conclusion (see KEY OF VALOR). The story line is exciting, but it is the prime players regardless of "species" that make this tale and the series a must delight for fans of romantic fantasy. Harriet Klausner

Summary: One of Nora Robert's best.
Review: In this second book in The Key Trilogy one of the most brilliant characterizations of a fictional character exists. Dana, having accepted the task of taking on a brutally angry, greedy Celtic God, must face her past in order to solve the puzzle, do her part in free the imprisoned soles of three innocent demigoddesses and grab on to a love that will last a lifetime. Through all of this, she is starting a business with Mallory and Zoe, her compatriots in this fantastical journey. The range of every human emotion, danger, suspense, humor and a wonderful love story emerge in swirling pool of carefully constructed magic, love and courage. It is wonderful and I cannot recommend this book strongly enough, along with Key of Light and Key of Valor, the first and third in the series. This series is the very best of Nora Roberts.

Summary: Very exciting series!
Review: It has been quite sometime since I have enjoyed truly enjoyed one of Nora Roberts many many books. There for awhile all of her books sounded alike to me so I actually stopped reading her stuff until a friend gave me a copy of this book and after reading it decided to put Ms. Roberts back on top of my favourite authors list again! Loved this book and I'm happy to recommed it!

Summary: This whole series is great
Review: It's amazing how, with a good author, you find yourself immediately intrigued by the heroine (or heroines). I like that there's magic in a story about grown-ups (!). I read this one quite quickly; it's one of those can't-put-it-down type books. Because I'm a bookworm and a half, I really found myself relating to this heroine even more than the first book. I really like how the resolution came about: quite a complex bit of magic, that.
It's a fun setting, it's a fun idea, and, if you don't concentrate too hard on some of the "that's impossible to believe" aspects of it (three strangers immediately best friends who go into business together...), then you'll have a great time reading this one. Only, don't count on it to get you through a boring weekend. You'll read it way too fast!
