Merissa (14112 KP) rated The Borderlands: The Complete Trilogy in Books
Jun 30, 2021 (Updated Jul 18, 2023)
THE BORDERLANDS: THE COMPLETE TRILOGY is exactly what it says. An epic fantasy that starts off in modern-day Scotland, travels to another medieval world, and finds a cyber-punk Earth in 2136, before returning to a 'simpler' time.
Dale longs to run away, from her family, from her school bullies, from everything. She has befriended a homeless man, Gareth, and together, they do up a little sailboat and make plans. Things take a turn for the worse when Gareth is murdered and Dale escapes by herself, with no idea of what to do or where to go. Of course, that's only the beginning of the story...
Dale is a brilliant character, feisty and strong-willed, makes more than a couple of mistakes, does the wrong thing and admits, but ultimately wants to help. This trilogy really is a journey for her as she not only discovers what's going on but just she has to do with it too.
There is a great supporting cast that both helps and hinders her as the story progresses. The pacing is smooth, with action and adventure. There is a touch of romance, a hint of a triangle, but that's it. The focus really is on Dale and what she learns.
A fantasy that crosses genres, this was a trilogy I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

I love this series! And as much as I love Jace and Clary's story, I was a little bit hesitant to start a new trilogy because I wasn't sure if I would still be as invested. I have to say, I love Emma and Julian. When we first introduced to them, they were so young and I wasn't sure if there story would capture like all the precious novels. I absolutely loved this book and I can't read the next book in Emma and Julian' s story!!

Awesome
What an amazing third installment to a great trilogy. The acting, cinematography and story were excellent. Macavoy shows unbelievable acting ability once again as the Horde. Willis and Jackson were phenomenal as well. The story played out beautifully with it's many twists and turns and an unexpected ending. If you liked the first two of M. Knight's dark 'superhuman' style movies you will love this one. If you're a fan like me, however, it will definitely leave you wanting more! REALLY worth a watch!

Gripping plot
One you'll never forget
The Passage and the rest of the trilogy are some of the most fantastic books I've read. Continuous adrenalin rush, heart breaking and impossible to put down. Thoroughly enjoyed every sentence. Fantastic use of description, timing and suspense to build incredible pictures and I read as the whole plot unraveled slowly with so many layers.
I recommend to everyone I know who enjoys reading and even those that don't, a fantastic book to get them started. Well done Cronin!

I'm pretty sure this took place before the Steel and Stone series? But if so, i dont remember our envoy being mentioned in it, but i could be wrong as i think i was pretty much only really interested in Ash and Piper's relationship.
Never the less, i did enjoy reading more of Lyre--and Ash made a few appearances--as he was always an intriguing character with his amazing spell weaving.
I look forward to reading the rest of this trilogy very soon.
