The Ruined Land by Clare Rhoden Review

The Ruined Land
The Chronicles Of Pale Book 3
by Clare Rhoden


🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Synopsis:

Exiled from the Pale, humachine Hector has found a home with the tribes Outside.

Or has he?

While the canini struggle to care for the human twins, Feather travels Broad Plain to reunite them with their father. But his own family is scattered as the Pale sends out its terrifying army and the land itself buckles beneath them.

Can anyone survive the ruination of the land?

In this gripping conclusion to the Chronicles of the Pale, the citizens of the mighty Pale have as much to lose as the communities of the Outside.

Review:

The Ruined Land is the final book in The Chronicles Of Pale Trilogy. Finally, all our questions are answered and the conclusion is drawn.

In the first two books The Pale and Broad Plain Darkening, Clare creates this world that can only come from true artistic talent. Along with the strange world she also created all sorts of amazing creatures. The canini (my personal favorite), the humanoids, and the equii just to name a few. These amazing creatures all accompany us to the final end of our journey where everything comes to its finale.

So I know this review is vague, but I feel like it kind of has to be. Everything is so nicely placed where one thing fades into another and everything intertwines in a way where giving away just a little too much of anything could spoil it. All I can say is start from the beginning and let Clare take you on an awesome journey that you won't regret going on.

The pace is kept constant throughout the whole trilolgy. While I love the consistency throught the books it also means this one was a slow-burn as well. I don't think slow-burns are a bad thing, they just aren't MY thing. However, it's important to point out that I still thought this was awesome for what it was. The writing and the overall creativity behind this is amazing. One thing I'll give away is that the creatures are ones we have today, but they are ... changed. Just read at least the first book, this is a world you don't want to miss.

But so can the inside.

It’s been years since the original cataclysm, but life has been structured, peaceful, and most of all uneventful in the Pale. The humachine citizens welcome the order provided by their ruler, the baleful Regent.

However, when one of their own rescues a human boy, Hector, from ravenous ferals on the Outside, their careful systems are turned upside down.
