Let the Wind Rise (Sky Fall #3) by Shannon Messenger 5/5 stars

Hey, guys! A long, long time ago, I read the first two books in the Sky Fall series. (Book 1 review: Let the Sky Fall) I loved the first two books, but it took a while before I could read Let the Wind Rise. Despite being rusty on the story, I loved this book. It was easy to fall back into and really just a pleasant read!

The Cover:
The Cover:
It shows Vane and a girl, most likely Audra, as they battle against Raiden in a final battle. It's an okay cover, nothing that really catches the attention. I liked the previous style of the series better. B cover

Official Description:
The breathtaking action and whirlwind adventure build to a climax in this thrilling conclusion to the “remarkably unpredictable” Sky Fall trilogy from the bestselling author of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.
Vane Weston is ready for battle. Against Raiden’s army. Against the slowly corrupting Gale Force. Even against his own peaceful nature as a Westerly. He’ll do whatever it takes, including storming Raiden’s icy fortress with the three people he trusts the least. Anything to bring Audra home safely.
But Audra won’t wait for someone to rescue her. She has Gus—the guardian she was captured with. And she has a strange “guide” left behind by the one prisoner who managed to escape Raiden. The wind is also rising to her side, rallying against their common enemy. When the forces align, Audra makes her play—but Raiden is ready.
Freedom has never held such an impossible price, and both groups know the sacrifices will be great. But Vane and Audra started this fight together. They’ll end it the same way.


My Review:
Let the Wind Rise was a very pleasant book. It wraps up all of the many story lines in an incredibly satisfying way. 

While a lot of the book is centered on the "final showdown", it still has time to develop the characters and their relationships with one another. The characters are still incredible. They are funny, act naturally around each other, and are easy to route for. 

The plot was interesting. I was excited to see what would come next, how the characters would escape from the impossible situations they find themselves in.

I was definitely happy with the conclusion. It tied up all of the loose strings into a nice little bow. It had a "feel-good" ending, which left me happy and glad to have read it.

I would definitely recommend reading Let the Wind Rise (and really the entire series). It was a nice conclusion to a great series.
