Daybreak A Dark Age Dawning Novel Ellen Connor Books

My Review:

This is the final book in the post-apocalyptic series by the writing team of Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty. This has been a wonderful series of books and I was NOT disappointed by this final book. In this book, we revisit Tru and Penny (now Pen) twelve years after they first appeared in Nightfall at the ages of 15 and 9 respectively (if I am remembering correctly.) They haven't seen each other in years. It is just a matter of fate that throws them in one another's path and unfortunately the years apart have been harsh for both of these people.

There is a certain fatalistic approach to how both of them live their lives. This new world is such a harsh one and as it stands at the beginning of the book, neither one of them honestly has a reason to live. They are simply surviving. It's such a harsh reality for the sweet kids that we got to know in book #1. Tru has been devastated by caring before and when Pen's mother died right after the change she forgot how to care in self-defense. It is easier and safer not to care for each of them. That is why this is such a beautiful love story. As they learn to open themselves up to each other, you can't help but cheer and hope for them.

Even the name of the novel, Daybreak, shows a new hope as they help this new world transition into one worth living in. And that is what this book is about. It's about establishing a new society about the whole rather than the individual as they emerge from the horror of the last twelve years. Pen and Tru are instrumental in that change.

Overall, this is a very serious novel, but there are wonderful moments of brevity provided by Tru's inner-lion who honestly feels that Tru would be better off with a pride of six women to serve him. LOL! I really loved those little internal talks between the two of them! It was fun to see that little bit of humor added into the story.

Like I said, this was the perfect ending to this series. I know that this is supposed to be the end, but I am really hoping that someday we will see a short novella about the people that the three books focused on finding each other again. Each book is completely a stand-alone novel, but all the characters started out in this crazy journey together. It would be nice to see some sort of reunion among them.

Daybreak A Dark Age Dawning Novel Ellen Connor Books Reviews

I loved seeing the two younger characters come back to each other. I also loved the consistency of the character's attitudes from the first book. The ending feels very rewarding after the battle of the series, as well as the battle the main character's must fight to find happiness.
It has been 12 years since the change and years since Pen and Tru have seen each other but now against a new foe they are reunitied Now with new friends Tru and Pen hope that the long night a be over and new change is on the way.
Let me say that I really wanted to like "DayBreak" by Ellen Conner but I could not even finish it and it made me mad. I just felt that whole book was dragging out and I could not behind the characters. Some may like "DayBreak" but I was not one of them.
Love all three books have been reading them and re reading for a few years but someone never returned the physical copy's a must have in my collection one clicked all three books!!! Really wish I could see more from this series fantastic and loved how the rules are ever changing in this fantastic world Apocalypse meets the new age of magic. everyone adapts or they don't survive
Brilliant! Loved it from start to finish. I love how the hero is such an arrogant prick in the beginning, but as you read on you realize he's just been through so much it's almost like he HAS to be that way or there will be nothing left of him. And I love how the heroine isn't all powerful. She has magic, but it weakens her. It puts a wedge between her and the hero, but she keeps going anyway. She doesn't let a mate put her in slippers and an apron, she has a job to do and she does it. But at the same time, with each word and gesture you feel the love these two have for each other. A fantastic end to the series. It has now joined the ranks of books I will re-read many times in the future.
4.5 stars

I loved this book but for completely different reasons than the others in the series. The context is the same. We still have a world in chaos after the Change. There are people who are infused with magic and shapeshifting skinwalkers that can change into a variety of animals - lions, baboons, crows, and even a marmot. People, for the most part, still do not live in organized societies except for the group led by O'Malley and one by Arturi. Whereas O'Malley is the group representing the worst part of humanity - criminal dealings in kidnapping and sexual exploitation of women and children, hoarding of resources, Arturi's group symbolizes the best - different kinds of people (including skinwalkers and those with magic) living in harmony, peacefully. But as Edmund Burke is attributed as saying, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." It is Pen's calling to rally Arturi's people to defeat O'Malley.

The trilogy seems to move from dark to light. The tone of the first book is gritty, terrifying and desperate. This story takes place 12 years later. And there is more stability in the world. The demon dogs are no longer an ever-present threat. The greatest threat is from other people. Although the world is still dark, there are moments of light and hope.

This is the story about how people are transformed and survive The Change. The spotlight of the story is the relationship between Pen and Tru. It's a love story. They know each other as kids, but they are wholly different adults.

Penny (Pen) was 9 years old at the end of the first book. Since then, she is using her magic to try and help heal people, give them a sense of hope and although she is uncomfortable, she is an icon they call the Orchid. Being that icon is a safe place to hide; where she can act the part of heroine, but not really have to engage with people. She can give her life without having any personal connection to any one person. Tru left Mason and Jenna to find his place in the world where he finds love, tragedy, and a cool little ability to shift into a Lion. The tragedy he has experienced has marred his soul and he is unwilling to take a chance again, so he wanders through life mostly as lion rarely transforming back. They both struggle with getting too close.

Pen and Tru's relationship is not always straightforward. There are a few twists and turns that keeps this story interesting. Pen's proclivity to hide behind her "hero" status adds an interesting layer to the dilemma.

This is a story you want to read if you want to know "what happened to the others." If you are looking for the conclusion of the trilogy and want the HEA, you will not be disappointed.
