Summary: A high end shopping trip
Review: Armani suits, Manolo Blahnik shoes, Harry Potter pj's, Play Station2, on and on. This story was like a virtual parade of high end products name dropping heavily scattered throughout most of the book. It was frustrating because the ongoing product reminders shift one's attention from fiction to reality and into focusing upon a shopping trip at Neiman Marcus rather than upon the story itself. I had trouble with Bradley's manipulation of Zoe through her kid Simon into a dependency mindset, and his nonstop pressure for sexual intimacy that forced her to compromise herself before she had even gotten a grip on how to find the Key of Valor. And this evolved into a benevolent domination and control in the guise of the men "protecting" their little women. In this final part of the trilogy, that theme particularly undermined the "woman of steel" image and dignity that Zoe lived and fought so hard scrabble to achieve on her own. Finally, the metaphysical theme of the majestic life and death power struggle between Zoe and Kane, mortal vs a god, got lost in the story somehow and the question was left unanswered. Albeit, there are reminders of the magical theme of this story when the otherworld king manifests through the veil on a ray of light into the form of a golden deer wearing a jewelled collar, and when Zoe asks the Divinity to grant a boon to Pitte and Rowena. My frustration with this book is that there was too much left dangling, particularly the aforesaid mystical impact, and it left this reader feeling adrift without closure.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: The first two books in the series were good, but the third was wonderful. Unlike its predecessors, the plot gave no clues as to where the key was to be found, and he characters were lovely and entertaining. The emphasis on Zoe's poor past was entirely too overemphasized, and I missed the lack of scenes between the trio of women, but all in all this book wrapped the trilogy up for me delightfully. I would recommend this group of novels to anyone with a open imagination.

Summary: The Best Was Saved for Last!
Review: The Key trilogy was great! However, this last book in the trilogy was the best. It was hard to tell where exactly the path to the key was leading. Nora Roberts kept the tale exciting and full of promise while introducing more mysticism and more about Kane (the bad god). I recommend all three books but you will love this one the best.

Summary: She saved the best for last
Review: This was an amazing conclusion to the Key Trilogy. With two keys out of the way, Zoe must find the 3rd key or the daughter's souls will be lost forever. A single mom who's opening her own business (and wouldn't I love to go there?) and fighting her attraction to the delectable Bradley Vane, she's under a ton of pressure. Kane gets nastier in the third installment. I just have to say that I absolutely fell into the story...I felt like I was watching a movie rather than reading a book. I couldn't help but giggle and sigh over the conversations between Brad and Simon. I also adore Moe. And my god...why can't I visit Indulgence?

Summary: Great Ending!
Review: Well it took me less than a day to finish this book & I loved it! The bantering between Simon & Brad was hilarious! I did wish that there was more about the sisters in it, but I thought this was a wonderful ending to an awesome trilogy!

Summary: BEST OF THE TRILOGY!
Review: WE ALL KNOW NORA ROBERTS WRITES THE BEST "TRILOGIES". ALL THREE BOOKS IN THIS TRILOGY WERE GREAT, BUT THIS IS MY FAV, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF SIMON AND BRAD'S RELATIONSHIP. SUSAN ERICKSEN IS DEFINETLY ONE OF THE BEST READERS THERE IS FOR BOOKS ON TAPE.

Summary: fantastic
Review: I thought this was the best of the three. I'm actually thinking of rereading the series, or at least this last one. The characters and dialogue continue to keep me hooked. I love how the six main people are so different. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I just finished reading Key of Valor! What a wonderful trilogy! Nora Roberts is truly amazing. What a wonderful gift she has. I am a huge fan of her JD Robb books (featuring Eve Dallas & Roarke) but this trilogy was great. Can't wait to read more of her other books!

Summary: Excellent finish to a great trilogy
Review: Excellent finish to a great trilogy. There is great chemistry between Zoe and Brad. The others are there as well, including Moe. Simon is in great form. A strong finish to the series.

Summary: Bummer end to a great trilogy
Review: I salivated over the first one, ran to buy the second one & enjoyed them both. Could hardly wait to get the last one, made time to read this asap - for me it was a highly anticipated thing.. Because of the great plot twists Nora had in the first two, and her character Kane changes/action, I could not easily predict how the heroines would find their keys. But this last one was a bummer, so easily predictable, nothing new from the first two, everything you expect to happens is happening. I agree Simon the son was done really well, the realtionship built up & interactions with Brad were very touching -- but the part I was looking forward to, the sizzle love interest between Brad & Zoe was a huge yawner. Kept turning page after page looking for something special and not finding it.
And how many times can you read about Zoe's poor upbringing, the haircuts or the color of someone's hair? Where was the friendship, bantering, and fun these trio of ladies I deserved??? It took a lot of Valor on my part to read this the whole way through without skipping too many pages. If you read the first two Key of books you will want to read this --- but get a box of chocolates handy to keep your spirits up.
