Nora Roberts' Key of Light: The Beginning of an Awesome Trilogy

Nora Roberts is one of the best known romance authors of today. Time and time again, she releases amazing books that touch the very soul of those that read them. Something that Roberts releases quite often are trilogies. Usually, I find myself straying from trilogies to read just the single novels she releases. I don't like not getting the full story in just one book.

Her latest trilogy is The Key Trilogy. The first book released is the last one that I'm writing a review on, Key of Light. The second is Key of Knowledge. The third and final book is Key of Valor. This review, as you can see, is on Key of Knowledge. I don't know why I wrote the reviews out of order, considering I read the books in order.

The Plot of the Trilogy
Malory, Dana and Zoe are three women that live lives that have never crossed in the same small Pennsylvania town. Malory is the head of an art gallery, Dana is a librarian, and Zoe is a hairdresser that is also a single mother. The three women are brought together by Rowena and Pitte, two mysterious figures that live at Warrior's Peak. They are told that they are linked to three demi-goddesses whose souls are locked in a box by the evil sorcerer, Kane. Only Malory, Dana and Zoe can free the souls of The Daughters of Glass by each completing a quest for a specific key to unlock a lock on the box. If each of the three women completed their individual quest, the Daughters would be freed and each woman would receive $1 million each.

The Plot of this Book
Key of Light is the first book in The Key Trilogy, so a lot of it is spent setting up the next two books. Malory Price is the head of the art gallery in Pleasant Valley. Unfortunately, the gallery owner allows his bubbleheaded trophy wife to take over, and Malory is pushed out of the picture. (Um, no pun intended.)

Malory receives a strange and mysterious invitation to a dinner party at Warrior's Peak. She shows up and meets Dana and Zoe. The two other women are dealing with similar problems at their jobs. The three women make a connection immediately.
