The De-Coding of Jo: Keys to Eternity by Lali A. Love
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The third installment of an excellent fantasy series...
Lali A. Love's novel, The De-Coding of Jo: Keys to Eternity (Ascending Angel Academy Book 3), is a well-written and well-paced work that features an interesting and intricate plot. The world-building is very good, with detailed descriptions of both the settings and the characters. The characters are intricate and multi-dimensional, each with their own unique goals and aspirations that serve as the impetus for the plot's progression. Ultimately, making a fantasy world that directly parallels the real world can be a potent way to engage with the happenings of the modern world and the problems that exist in the real world. The author creates a fictional universe that feels profoundly familiar and wonderfully new by drawing on the rich tapestry of human history and culture. This allows the reader to experience the best of both worlds. Since this novel cannot stand on its own, reading books 1 and 2 is strongly suggested before reading this one. Five stars from me.
