With the 3rd novel in the series arriving earlier this year, here are the first reviews! A big thank you once again to "The Literary Device" and the "Daily Perusal" for taking out the time, and for their kind words! Enjoy! In UA3 the author makes a radical departure from the style of the previous 2 installments. The unfolding present-day plot is interspersed with flashback sequences which offer unique insights into the events of the first 2 novels. As in the previous installments, a wide variety of exotic locations are showcased. These include Los Angeles, Mexico, and the Canadian Rockies, with the customary fight sequences erupting in San Juan, Alaska, the Grand Canyon, and Washington D.C. Battling aside, the primary narrative presents us with a series of character studies which encompass family relationships, romantic entanglements, corporate agendas, and individual choices. We are presented with the sobering truth that corruption can surface anywhere, be it within the family circle or inside the government, in ways which we cannot fathom. The true underdog of this story is Jade Bertrand, who must cope with the aftermath of the 2nd novel. She finds in Valeriya a true friend who stands by her during this difficult ordeal. Later, in a truly heartwarming moment, Jade confides her feelings of loss and insecurity to her mother, a touching scene which illustrates the value of strong family ties. Ultimately, Jade must go on a journey of discovery to find her power and inner strength. This is just one of the many storylines woven into this diverse tale. The style may be different, but it’s safe to say that it’s the same “Ultimate” experience! - The Daily Perusal This latest installment puts every character through the ultimate test, and is sure to evoke the reader’s emotions. As the story twists and turns, it explores new territory and revisits old territory in surprising ways: the reader is left with a newfound appreciation for the previous stories, while still allowing the UA universe to continue on its path.
