Recensione:
“This is ultimately what makes Lanore such a compelling heroine, and what makes this series so indelible: While her journey is set in an extraordinary world, her need to love and be loved is fundamental.Her passions are our passions, her weaknesses are our weaknesses, and her quest for a perfect love is every woman’s quest for a satisfied heart.” (Jamie Brenner, Heroes & Heartbreakers)
“This isn’t a vampire trilogy; it’s something entirely new. It’s smart, sophisticated, and utterly shocking; if you have delicate sensibilities, you may prefer not to pick up these books. But if you’re an adventurous reader and enjoy beautiful writing and characters you can’t even imagine, Katsu’s trilogy is an absolute must read.” (S. Krishna's Books)
“Beautifully written with fleshed out characters and an engaging conclusion... Katsu has created the most unusual and dark characters yet she managed to make me fall in love with them all... The Descent was decadent, and all of the questions and puzzle pieces fell into place... The Descent was a brilliant, well crafted ending to this dark trilogy.” (Caffeinated Book Reviewer)
“While the ending wasn’t one I would have wanted in the first book, by the time it happened, I LOVED it. I thought it was absolutely perfect and helped me put the series away in my mind, it was the definition of closure... I cannot recommend this series more highly for those who love strange, gritty, dark books that will shock you but keep you riveted to the pages. The Descent was the perfect end to a great series.” (Book Addiction)
“Alma Katsu’s The Descent is one of my most anticipated read since reading The Reckoning in 2012. This novel is the last of The Taker Trilogy, and I must say, Ms. Katsu did an AMAZING job.” (Under the Covers)
"Throw away everything that you thought you knew about this series. I don’t believe there is a reader who could have foreseen the culmination of this trilogy... I loved The Descent and adored this series. It’s the kind of series you pass along to your friends..." (Vampire Book Club)
"[The Descent] will blow readers away with its creativity, nuance, and multilayered story. Book series tend to taper off for readers in terms of depth of story and the ability to surprise, but Katsu’s Taker series has transcended levels with each installment... Peers behind the veil between the human and spiritual world... A stunning end to a brilliant trilogy.” (Savvy Verse and Wit)
“It’s always difficult to come to the end of a series, especially one that was so good... This is certainly one of the more interesting series to come along in quite a while.” (Bookreporter)
"The Descent is enchantingly magical with unanticipated surprises and fascinating characters...an unforgettable roller-coaster ride, where emotions run the gamut from deep fear to highest elation. The Descent is part of an extraordinary series, where supernatural adventures are memorable while the cast of characters are notably original.” (Single Titles)
“Brilliant series” (RT Book Reviews)
