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.

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: The series continues!
Review: The Key Series is turning out to be something away from the ordinary from Nora Roberts. I feel that she is experimenting in new areas with new styles to keep her writing fresh and her fans hooked. I am enjoying this series.

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: Be Secure In The Knowledge: This Is An Excellent Book!!
Review: Key of Knowledge picks up right where part one (Key of Light) left off. In Nora Roberts excellent Celtic goddesses/lost souls/contemporary seekers trilogy, Malory, Dana, and Zoe are reuinited once again to continue the quest for the three keys to release three lookalike goddesses from their eternal prison. Part two is Dana's story; as with Malory, she has job issues (she is unfairly fired from her position at the library), and man issues (in the person of ex-lover, lifelong-friend, and soon-to-be Major Squeeze Jordan Hawke, the famous writer whose books she secretly reads with pride), not to mention dog issues (did you think Moe, the wonderdog who supplied so much humor and life to Key of Light, would be left out of the new volume? Heavens to Snoopy, No!!). Since she was a librarian and is soon to be a bookstore owner (in Indulgence, the delicious bookstore/beauty salon/art gallery the three women plan to open), it follows that writing and books should play a major role in her finding the Key of Knowledge. Oh, yes, Kane, the ultraegotistic supernatural villian, is back as well. This celestial scumbag has taken an oath to play by the rules; he soon breaks them by physically attacking Jordan. It will take the combined efforts of all three women, their men, plus Rowena and Pitt to overcome his snares in this installment. While this volume is a worthy successor to Key of Light, a few questionable choices make this installment less successful than it's predecessor. One: Dana is a little too quick to believe Kane and his illusions and thus doubt the sincerity of Jordan's love (at first, anyway). She knows Kane means to hurt her, why let him win? The second choice is harder to address without giving away too much of the plot; suffice it to say that Jordan, as a writer, should have more control over his own work at the story's climax. He created it, why shouldn't he be able to control every aspect of his book? Still, the genuine warmth and friendship between the three women, the strength and courage of their convictions, and the effective conclusion of this second installment will have you waiting anxiously for Key of Valor, Zoe's story and the final piece in the trilogy's puzzle. Read Key of Knowledge right away, secure that this book is indeed an excellent followup to Key of Light, and when you are finished, lose no time in starting Key of Valor at once. Magic, romance, and the friendship that only three incredible women can create await your immediate attention!!

Summary: Another keeper
Review: This 2nd book in the trilogy doesn't disappoint. Here we follow Dana and her quest for the key. I won't give the story away in spite of the fact it's rather predictable how it all turns out. The getting there is the fun part anyway. If you're anything like me, you'll cry and laugh right along with the characters. Enjoy!!
