Review

My epic journey in this wonderful tale has finally come to an end. And what a journey it was in this final conclusion to what has been one of my favourite series in the last few years. The anticipation of waiting on this last instalment of The Dark Oak Chronicles to find out what happened to some of my favourite characters. To my ecstaticness, I was given the opportunity to read it early by the man himself, Mr Sannox, and let me tell you, he has delivered a story that will leave you fulfilled with its beauty.

The Devising is the third and last book in The Dark Oak Chronicles. A beautiful world weaved and woven with an amazing diverse set of characters where dryads and people clash and go to war over humanity’s greed for power. I absolutely love Jacob Sannox’s worldbuilding and setting. He has crafted something very special in this series with his knowledge of mythical legends and lore that has hooked from the very first page delving you into one hell of an adventure.

For any fantasy fan who loves a good dark tale that keeps you in suspence and pulls on your heartstrings, with wonderful creatures of lore such as Dryads, Sylphs, Naiads and Oreads, oh and big dragons you will definitely love this fantastic character driven story, and it just gets better and more thrilling with each book.

Dark Oak has left the forests and is now Dark Lord of Halwende and King of the world. After subduing humanity to the Isles, he now wants all to bow to him, dryads, sylphs, Naiads, Oreads, and the humans or face total destruction from his divised army of monsters and with new weapons and dark magics at his disposal from the help of the weavers. Will humanity and the creatures of the forests finally come together and save their existence and preserve the cycle of life. War is coming, and so is hell and fire with it.

What a brilliant ending, I’m so sad to leave this world, but I’ll be back again. If you haven’t checked out Jacob Sannox’s books yet, I very highly recommend that you do..🌳🔥🪓🗡🏹
