~~SUMMARY~~
“What I was currently doing with my time and money . . . didn’t really deserve anyone else’s attention. If I was feeling romantic about it, I’d call it a quest, but all I was really doing was trying to answer a question I’d been ignoring for a thousand years.”
In his very long life, Adam had encountered only one person who seemed to share his longevity: the mysterious red-haired woman. She appeared throughout history, usually from a distance, nearly always vanishing before he could speak to her.
In his last encounter, she actually did vanish—into thin air, right in front of him. The question was how did she do it? To answer, Adam will have to complete a quest he gave up on a thousand years earlier, for an object that may no longer exist.
If he can find it, he might be able to do what the red-haired woman did, and if he can do that, maybe he can find her again and ask her who she is . . . and why she seems to hate him.
“You are being watched. Move your loved ones to safety . . . trust nobody.”
But Adam isn’t the only one who wants the red-haired woman. There are other forces at work, and after a warning from one of the few men he trusts, Adam realizes how much danger everyone is in. To save his friends and finish his quest he may be forced to bankrupt himself, call in every favor he can, and ultimately trade the one thing he’d never been able to give up before: his life.
From the author of Immortal and Hellenic Immortal comes Immortal at the Edge of the World, the breathtaking conclusion to the best-selling trilogy. Will Adam survive?
Adam’s back!
Yes, I actually
squealed that when I first saw the cover for the third book in the Immortal
series. It’s been two years since I last had an Adam fix and I’ve been waiting,
and waiting, and waiting to find out
what happens next.
Was it worth the wait,
you ask.
Uh, yeah! And the fact
that you even have to wonder that proves you’ve obviously not read the first
two books in this series. Shame on you! They are a must read, and in order to
follow the story you really need to read them before you get your hands on this
one.
Now, I admit that the
book was a little slower for me to get into up until the middle. Part 2 is
really where it took off for me and flew by.
After a two year span
between the last book and this one, I was so glad to see Doucette hadn’t lost
that spark that is Adam. He’s still the same sarcastic immortal he’s always been.
I’m always a little worried the author will lose what makes the characters special
when there’s such a huge gap between books. Especially when they’ve put out new
books and have gotten into the heads of new characters. Will they be able to go
back and find that voice that made the character unique after so long? The answer
to that when it comes to Adam is obviously a big hell yeah!
You can expect the
usual thrilling adventure with this book. Questions the reader, and Adam, have
are finally answered. Old friends are brought back. New friends are made. We experience
loss and love and a big ‘ole surprise that not even Adam saw coming.
I’m sad to say goodbye
to Adam, but I loved how the series was wrapped up.

~~CONNECT WITH THE AUTHOR~~
Praise for Immortal at the Edge of the World
"Brilliant end to the trilogy, with much twistiness involved in tying up all the plotlines. Lots of humour and typical Adam-ness - but no spoilers from me. You'll just have to read it for yourself. I think this might be my favourite of the series.+ - Andrea Goodreads Review
