Summary: Can't wait for the finale!
Review: Wow..as always, Nora Roberts blows me away with her writing and stories. This book was no exception. Be warned..it is the second book in the Key trilogy, so be sure and read the first one before attempting this novel. (key of light) The key of knowledge follows librarian Dana on her quest for the missing key that will unlock a magical box and free three celtic demi goddesses from their long prison of sleep. Joining her on her quest are Mallory and Zoe..her best friends, business partners, and fellow key searchers. Helping Dana is Jordan Hawke, a mystery writer who she has always loved but who broke her heart when she was younger. Jordan is determined to win her back, help her find her key and protect her from the evil god, Kane. Their relationship is complex--friends, ex-lovers, he is also her brother's best friend. This book expands on the story line introduced in the first book- Kane becomes more of an active evil force, Pitte and Rowena are better characterized, and it is nice to revisit with Mallory, Flynn, and Moe (from the first book). The book also gives us a glimpse of what's to come in the final book with Zoe and Brad's relationship
.
The second book was in my opinion, better than the first book- Dana is likable, complex, smart and her emotions are multi-layered. She is once again attracted to Jordan, but knows that could lead to another broken heart. She is at a crossroads in her life- having quit her steady job and taking a chance on opening her own business. She is also on a time limit to completing her part of the key quest. I love how Nora Roberts uses Celtic myths and magical elements to enhance the story. It is so well done that it is easy to suspend belief and really believe in the legends, gods, curses and evil. I can't wait to finish this trilogy and eagerly await Zoe and Brad's story....

Summary: Another exciting trilogy by Nora Roberts
Review: Key of Knowledge is the second book in the exciting new trilogy by Nora Roberts. The first book, Key of Light, set the stage by introducing the reader to three women - Malory, Dana and Zoe. Facing financial difficulty, each of the women is offered one million dollars to find an ancient key. If they succeed, they get the money but if they fail there are dire consequences. Will the women accept the challenge and fulfill their destiny? Key of Knowledge picks up where Key of Light left off. Malory found her key in Key of Light, now its Dana's turn. Dana must make peace with the past and with Jordan Hawke, the man who broke her heart, in order to accomplish her part of the quest. Will Dana succeed in the time allowed? How will each of the women use her unique strength in order for all three to prevail? In typical Roberts's style, the well developed characters and compelling story kept me turning pages late into the night. Roberts has a knack for evoking emotion with genuine, realistic dialogue. This book sets the scene for the next and last book in the trilogy, Key of Valor, I can't wait to hear Zoe's story.

Summary: Great Middle Book
Review: "Key of Knowledge" is the second of the Key trilogy, and my favorite. In this novel we are reintroduced to Dana Steele and her story. Dana has had her heartbroken by Jordan Hawke many years ago, and never been fully able to get over him or the resulting heartache. Unfortunately for her Jordan is integral to this journey which means spending a lot of time with the one person she has envisioned dying a slow and painful death. I liked Dana because of her flaws. Dana loves to read and spends her time doing what she loves only to find her foundation shaken from underneath her. She not only has to wrestle with her pride and heartache, but the future and it's possibilities. As she and her soul sisters open up their minds and hearts to each other as they form a business relationship. Dana finds it tougher to do the same in regards to Jordan. She has tremendous pride and learning to swallow that for Dana is a bitter pill, especially if she has to do so with Jordan. "Key of Knowledge" was a fun, light book to read and relax to.

Summary: Book 2 of a trilogy.
Review: Three demi-goddesses are under a spell. They sleep in glass coffins, beyond the Veil. Their souls are locked away in the Box of Souls, which can only be opened by three keys turned by human hands. In each generation three human women are born who have the means to find the three keys and end the curse. Each, in turn, has one moon phase to find a key. If the first fails, game over. If the first succeeds, the second woman takes up the quest, and so on. If any of the three mortal females fail, they each lose an undisclosed year of her life. If all three succeed, the demi-goddesses will awaken and each of the three human women will receive one million dollars. Malory succeeded in her quest. The first key has been found. The first lock has been opened on the Box of Souls. Dana Steele's quest begins. Dana's talent and quest is in knowledge, her love of books and information. This novel focuses on Dana's true love, Jordan. Jordan is a highly successful author of dark novels. Problem is that Jordan dumped Dana years ago and walked out of her life without looking back. Now that he is famous and returned, he seems to expect to just pick up with Dana where he left off. NOT! Worse, the entire time all is happening, the evil sorcerer, Kane, watches. **** Okay, not as good as the first, but still well worth a solid four stars! More time is spent on Dana and Jordan (as a couple) and the store "Indulgence" (that the women are putting together) than on the quest, itself. Good reading, but a slower pace than the previous story. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Summary: Key of Knowledge Review
Review: Wonderful story! My favorite book of the trilogy! Key of Knowledge is the most exciting and suspensful of the series! I highly recommend any book fan to read this series. Remember, unlike some of Nora Robert's trilogies, the key trilogy should be read in order to fully understand the plot and develop a relationship with the characters!

Summary: It Only Gets Better....
Review: I am not normally attracted to Nora Roberts' books, but the Key Trilogy was the BEST. (I am definitely going to take another look at the Nora Roberts' books that I have passed by!) This series DOES need to be read in sequence though and I would HIGHLY recommend buying all three together because you will not be able to wait to read the next one. In so many series, only one of the books is good. At the end of each book, I thought - "There is no way that the next book can be better than this." In every case, the next book exceeded my expectations and the characters and plots only got better.

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: Escapism
Review: This isn't a book you'll remember after it's over. The characters are forgettable and the plot is predictable. After the first book in this triology, Key of Light, there really isn't anything new to discover. We already know how this will end, so there isn't anything captivating here. The chemistry between the two characters was slightly better than the first book. This is probably one of the worst triologies N.R. has written - no sustainable plot throughout the three books, weak character leads, weak settings, and a very unbelievable storyline.
Rating:
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!
