Review

Praise for 'Old Magic': 'A confident debut that announces the arrival of a bright, lively new voice' TES Praise for 'The Named': 'Another gripping teenage novel from the author of Old Magic. Once more Marianne Curley pulls off a thrilling, complicated and magical story while keeping a firm grip on the reality of present day life' Irish Independent 'Marianne Curley's second novel, The Named, succeeds in combining the contemporary with the historical in this lively, eventful adventure' The Bookseller 'This pacey, contemporary mix of action, suspense and fiery relationships is cleverly calculated to appeal to both boys and girls' Books Magazine

Product Description

The Order of Chaos begins its final and devastating assault on the Named in a desperate bid to annihilate them and gain absolute control of all the realms. The Named are in trouble. Not only must they find the precious lost key to unlock their ancient treasury of weapons, but there is a traitor in their midst. Suspicion is making them weaker, as the prophecy predicted, and they desperately need new hope.

like my title of the review i do not know where to start with how good and how compelling the last book of Marianne Curley's fantastic trilogy of beautifully told charcters that i love was. It is an expert of a book so good i couldn't put it down even though i didn't want to finish it straight away. it gets you straight in to the plot and this time picks up on the viewpoints of Matt and Rochelle. This last book is superb and a jewel. Although some of the more final scenes made me cry i have to say that this was the best book i have ever read not only because it has all the elements of a good book for me but because it didn't leave me feeling confused or anything but made its point. A brilliant fantasy story filled with laughter, love, loyalty, fantasy, drama, action Marianne Curley pulls of one gem of a book. At the end i had to sit there and read the last chapter again and was so disappointed that this time unlike the other two there was no follow-up. I had to sit and wonder what had happened to the characters lives and i wish Marianne Curley could write another. Ethan, Isobel, Arkarian, Matt, Rochelle, Neriah... all wonderful characters that i would love to read about again. I cannot express how much i enjoyed this fabulous and explosive last book to a superb trilogy. I can only say: "More, More"!!!!

An excellent read! 2 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
I think that The Guardians of Time trilogy was absolutely amazing, and this final third instalment was brilliant! The story is told this time from the perspective of Matt and Rochelle, and was well-crafted and gripping from start to finish! The only bad thing about this book was that it ended!

I loved it and I hope that we will not have to wait too long for the next book by Marianne Curley!

a must read 6 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
As a 16 year old book fanatic I always enjoy a good trilogy-and how fantastic was this?!
I picked the named up on a whim before a holiday and as soon as i got back I waited on tenter hooks for the dark and then the key to be delivered to my door and the key was not a disapointment!
Marianne Curley connected all the loose ends magnificiently- the Matt,Neriah,Dillion love triangle, Rochelle's true path and of course the completion of the prophecy-Never have i read a book or triolgy that i have re-read so often(Im on my 5th time.)
I recommend this book and the two previous in the trilogy to anyone of any age-my mother seems to enjoy it!
