Summary: Just as fast paced as the first installment
Review: The second installment of this trilogy doesn't disappoint. I just had to read this in one sitting because I couldn't stand not knowing how Dana finaly triumphed and found her "key"!

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: As Good As the First
Review: Another deeply satisfying Nora trilogy continues with Book 2, which is the story of Dana, one of the three very modern Pennsylvania women who find themselves on an ancient Celtic quest complete with gods and goddesses, ancient curses, and the like. As readers of the first book know, the first key was found by Mallory, and it's now Dana's turn to find the second key, one of the three that must be found to free the souls of three entrapped goddesses. Sound corny? Yes...but not when Nora writes it! That is her great gift, as her fans know all too well. So along we go with Dana, and talk about pressure: She's about to lose her job; she's fighting unwanted romantic feelings about an old lover; and she has only 28 days to find the key or let down three goddesses and two women who have become her best friends overnight. I could not put this book down, anymore than I could the first, and am horrified to see I have to wait several weeks for the final book in the trilogy! This is the perfect read for the holiday season; put your feet up, pour a lovely cup of something warm, and enjoy. Ten stars!

Summary: Better than the first of the three Key books.
Review: Nora Roberts is my favorite author and I have read everything she has written. This story is excellent. The sparks between Jordan and Dana will keep you hooked. I didn't enjoy the chemistry of the first two characters, Flynn and Mallory but Jordan and Dana will pull you in. I'm really looking forward to the last book!

Summary: Dana's Quest
Review: Two heads are better than one, but eight against one and the battle is won.
Nora Robert's Key of Knowledge is the second book in the key trilogy. It is filled with love lost and realized, as well as the realization that we are stronger together then apart.
Dana, the main character, is a lover of books. To find the key, she must search knowledge and truth. Once this task is complete. The second key will have been found as will a family.
Although they are not all related by blood, the eight are related on a quest with bonds them tighter than any blood ever could. The six people and two demi-gods work together to defeat the god that was the original cause of the sisters' souls being trapped.
When the battle is won, in the Key of Valor, the eight heads will have won all.

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: Awesome Book!
Review: This is a great second book for this trilogy. The dialogue was just as great as the Sea Swept etc. books. The interaction between the women, between the men, and between each other was great. I read the book in about four hours, and could kick myself for not making it last longer. I'll be looking for the Key of Valor in January.

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: Part 2 Doesn't Disappoint!
Review: Wow!!! I got this book on the 25th and finished it yesterday morning. What a great story! Malory completed part 1 of the quest in Key of Light, and also found love with Flynn Hennessey. Part 2, Key of Knowledge, is the story of Dana (Flynn's step-sister). Malory, Dana, and Zoe each have to find a key, to free the souls of three Celtic goddesses who have been trapped by an evil sorcerer. It sounds silly, but Nora has a way of writing it and making it seem completely reasonable! Dana was in love with a writer named Jordan Hawke, but he broke her heart many years ago when he moved to New York City to make a name for himself as a Stephen King like writer. He's back in town though, and between the quest for the key and the sparks flying between Jordan and Dana (plus Malory, Dana and Zoe all starting their own business together), this book is packed with action on almost every page. I couldn't put it down once I started reading and now I'm pining away for book 3 (Key of Valor). I can't wait to see how it all ends, and read the story of Brad and Zoe! Nora's characters are, as always, sympathetic, intriguing, and fun to read. Her dialogue is always flowing and realistic, her men sexy and charming. I'm a huge fan of her books and style, and in this one she definitely doesn't disappoint. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Good God!!! Nora is the best.
Review: WOW!! I bought the book yesterday, and finished it today. Nora is my favorite author. I read KEY OF LIGHT, and the second installment of the series was great. I loved the relationship between Dana and Jordan. I can't wait for the last one. Anyone who loves to read a really good non-cheesy romance novel, the KEY trilogy is for you!
