As the first book in the series, Key of Light did the job: it set the story arc up, introduced all the main characters and, in the end, wrapped up the first couple's love story in a nice HEA. The PNR aspect of the story was interesting, with a gothic vibe that was eerie and unexpected.
An old mansion named Warrior's Peak , guarded by gargoyles, sitting at the top of a hill surrounded by mist A dark and stormy night A woman driving alone , wondering what she was going to find at the mansion I'm not going into details here, but the tale about their lives was very charming and romantic - regardless of the sad ending, that is.
Flynn, Dana's brother, joined the quest for the keys in no time, even though he was skeptical about the whole thing Well, all of them were skeptical at first, but they changed their minds when strange things started to happen. Back to Flynn He was the all-around good guy, charming, seductive and, of course, commitment-shy. Malory was soon in love with him - who could blame her? There was really no conflict in their relationship, and that was a problem for me.
Not that I wanted them to go all angsty or start a fight just for the sake of it, but there wasn't anything that prevented them from being together and their relationship felt kind of boring to me. On the other hand, I think NR did a much better job when it came to showing Flynn's friendship with Jordan and Brad - not coincidentally, the heroes in the next books in the series.
I actually thought that Flynn's scenes with his friends were more interesting than his scenes with Malory, and that's not a good thing in Romancelandia. Malory's scenes with Dana and Zoe were less entertaining and felt a little too juvenile to me. They would have been more fitting if they had been in their early twenties, IMHO.
There's a lot of talk about symbolism and coincidences in this book: some interesting, some confusing. I thought the "key" Malory was supposed to find was only a metaphor but it turned out to be "real" - or the next best thing, since this is a PNR story.
As for the ending, I was as fooled by Malory's trick as the villain: I thought Flynn would have to rescue her with a bang, but I should have known that she was smart enough to do it by herself. Girl Power, yay! And, referring to the first paragraph above, it did the job: I'm interested enough in keep reading the series. View all 8 comments.

DEAR Ms. Roberts, I totally believe that two people who have spent a whole summer jumping out of planes and escaping DEATH BY FIRE together on a daily basis might fall in love and get married after knowing each other for only a few months.
It also seems plausible that you might fall in love with a guy who had a crush on you in high school , or even possibly your car mechanic , but deciding to marry this random dude with an annoying dog three weeks after you met him, just because you went on some wac DEAR Ms.

I enjoyed it, a lot, and if I've had more free time, I'd have read it in one sitting I felt the same during my 2nd read. Even though I knew where the story was headed, I couldn't wait to reach its climax.

The writing flowed easily and told the story of Malory, Dana and Zoe, 3 passionate, dedicated women, thrown into a strange and almost impossible quest.
My favorite aspect of the book was the dynamics between the female characters. We absolutely need more of that positivity, benevolence and unconditional support, in fiction but most importantly in real life relationships.
It was everything I'd love to have and see in a friendship: no wanton judgement or pettiness, no envy or unnecessary drama. Friendshipgoals y'all! Nora Roberts made an excellent job at defining it and conveying the emotions it induces in both the artist and the audience. I felt a huge kinship for Malory because of her inability to create art despite her knowledge and boundless love of it and because of her career crisis. Both struck a chord! Anything worth anything can be found in books.
Overall, Key of Light was a very easy and enjoyable read! Despite the romantic aspect being too abrupt, some parts of the quest being convenient and despite the POVs switching non stop everyfew paragraps, my interest and excitement never faltered. The chemistry between the three women made me root for them and the crises they've been facing in their personal lives made them more real and extremely relatable.
I can't wait to dive into the sequel and having more of bookish and sarcastic Dana's story. View all 11 comments. Mar 21, Lexy rated it it was amazing. This book was pretty good it had a mystery element to it. Sep 28, Cyndi rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-own. What's not to love when Nora Roberts steps into the world of celtic magic? View 2 comments. Aug 25, Shelley Lackey rated it it was amazing. Even though I know what's going to happen in every story written by Nora Roberts, I love reading her.
Her down-to-earth writing style and humorous dialogues between characters are refreshing and very entertaining. I love a good story with a happy ending, and this one gives you all that, plus I found myself chuckling out loud. I love it when a author engages my emotions enough to make me scared, laugh, cry, get angry, etc. Nora Roberts is an excellent writer, and she can do all that.
Thankfully, Even though I know what's going to happen in every story written by Nora Roberts, I love reading her. Thankfully, she doesn't fall into the category below. I'm going to step up on my soap box for a moment. It may be just me, but I don't think so. Sep 07, Harini rated it liked it Shelves: paranormal-romance. I don't even know why I don't like this book Nice characters : Check Good plot : Check Adorable dogs that are way better than the characters : Check So , you see my problem with this book.
I can't figure out why this book didn't come out so well. It was probably my expectations. Or it was probably the absurdity of how Malory ends up in this.
I enjoyed this book on an overall and the other two books were also okay , I guess. But was it worth the hype? I'd rather go back to Weird. I'd rather go back to one of my YA fantasies than get stuck with NR again. Blog Twitter Instagram Facebook Apr 03, Aly rated it really liked it.
The Key Trilogy is about a very old curse and a prophecy, about three women who each in turn, have to find a key to free the soul of young goddess imprisoned for years in an other dimension. Manager for an art gallery where things are not going so great with a new collegue, Malory Price received a mysterious invitation for an evening at the mansion Warrior's Peak.
It's a little bit strange since she doesn't know anyone living there and the people she know didn't get the invitation but her curios The Key Trilogy is about a very old curse and a prophecy, about three women who each in turn, have to find a key to free the soul of young goddess imprisoned for years in an other dimension.
It's a little bit strange since she doesn't know anyone living there and the people she know didn't get the invitation but her curiosity lead her there anyway, where she'll meet the only other two women who were invited. Their hosts, a beautiful woman and impressive man, show them a painting and tell them a story about gods and goddesses, magic, hex, keys and explain to them why they have been choosen to try to release the three sister's souls.
Malory and the two women who fast become her friends doesn't really believe in the fantasy story, but for a fortune they're ready to accept the challenge. But some people will make them believe that there's something else behind the concrete and tangible and soon, Malory, Dana and Zoe are not the only one who'll find themselves mingled in this story.
A startling encounter with a smooth-talking journalist and his invasive dog will make sure that Malory's life take a complete different direction. If the Dream Trilogy was my best contemporary series by Nora Roberts, the Key is my favorite of her in the paranormal, and I understand why because I can see a lot of similarities between the two.
It's still pretty much contemporary but with just a little touch of magic so forget world building and the likes. And I think that if you're too practical and too plausibility oriented, there's a chance you won't like this book because you have to believe that the three women accepted the assignment after hearing a crazy story and didn't even believe in it or that Malory and Flynn felt in love in less than a week.
I'm a pretty realistic person too much, even but I can be convinced to believe in the impossible from time to time ;p I liked the laid-back and flirty attitude of Flynn and how it was almost as if his dog choose the girl for him. And one of the best part of the MC courtship was the fact he seemed to have the upper hand with the pace of their relationship at the beginning and then she turned the table on him and he was the hesitant one. I know it doesn't sound very cute nor romantic the way I put it but I like that the characters and us can be surprised.
And so happy to read again the outset of the romance between my favorite Key's couple,Zoe and Brad. When perfect strangers Malory, Zoe, and Dana all receive a mysterious summons to the local historical mansion Warrior's Peak, none of them quite know what to expect. But once they get talking they discover they are more alike than they realized.
They are all down on their luck in terms of employment, they live nearby, and are all single. But there is something more mysterious that links them together as well. Age old secrets, legends, and destinies bind them together on a quest to rid the world When perfect strangers Malory, Zoe, and Dana all receive a mysterious summons to the local historical mansion Warrior's Peak, none of them quite know what to expect.
Age old secrets, legends, and destinies bind them together on a quest to rid the world of an ancient evil and set right a wrong that began long long ago.
As long as the women are up to the task. It was fantastic! It had so many wonderful elements incorporated into it! Magic, romance, fate, suspense, mythology, quests And as much as I loved the story, I really was head over heels for the characters, especially Dana.
They all seemed so real and so easy to identify with, I felt myself so caught up in the story I never wanted it to end! I am really excited about the next book in the trilogy!

Malory Price wasn't the smartest cookie in a bag of treats. Though she had a college degree and had made her mark at a prestigious art gallery, she spilled coffee on her boss's new temperamental wife.
It was an accident! And she managed to get on the young woman's bad side by disagreeing with her 'improvements' that she had made within the business. To top it off she had issues with spending her paychecks and didn't have a dime to show for it. So it came as very little surprise when she Malory Price wasn't the smartest cookie in a bag of treats. So it came as very little surprise when she was fired dismissed from her job.
But all of this was nothing compared with the very unusual evening she had just spent with Pitte and Rowena, two unusual 'people' whom offered her a hard-to-pass-up deal. And let us not forget that she made some new friendships with Dana and Zoe: her cohorts with this adventure. Lastly, there was Flynn and Moe: an attractive man -Dana's stepbrother- and his mutant-size dog.
I enjoyed Moe. He was friendly, goofy and lovable. When the story's pacing felt erratic at times, Moe gave me reason to regroup and continue reading. Of course, Moe gave it some light humorous moments. And for the first two-thirds of the story I was kept interested. At times, Malory came across a little too sharp with Flynn and then she was confused. That, and the same pacing I mentioned earlier caused some bumps and grinds for the last third of the book.
IMHO, I thought there was just too much going on. Did I like it? We do not guarantee that these techniques will work for you.
