Anthony Piers - And Eternity Book 7 of Seven in the Incarnation Series
1 On a Pale Horse : Death
2. Bearing an Hourglass : Time
3. With a Tangled Skein : Fate
4. Wielding a Red Sword : War
5. Being a Green Mother : Nature
6. For Love of Evil : Satan
–> 7. And Eternity : God

TYPE: Fantasy

RATING: 9/10

REVIEW:

This one’s the grand finale of the series and what a way to end it. God’s position is now needed to be replaced because the current immortal holding the position is too much of a narcissist to notice the sufferings of other people.

We have Orlene who has an untimely death (refer to book 2, Bearing an Hourglass) after the death of her son. Jolie, Satan’s lover, is now being taken care of by Orb who is the Incarnation of Nature. Satan is up to his own set of mischief and everyone else is out to stop him from taking over the world, in a fashion, of course.

While awaiting death, Jolie comes to the aid of Orlene and together they set out towards the search of her dead son. Orlene then finds out that her son is with Nox, the Incarnation of Night, and that she must get some things from each of the seven Incarnations if she is to get her child back.

The story deals with how each of the Incarnations is related to Orlene in some way and how they help her ‘win’ the things from them. The only trouble is with God, who refuses to meet her and the story is changed with that.

An awesome conclusion to the series. I loved the entire series and may read them all over again, just to get to know the characters better.

The search of Llano poses a variety of difficulties and she finds that the Llano is used by a lot of people, however, it still remains only partly known. Though everyone knows of its powers, all of them seemed to have tried and failed.
