Description
Christine works hard every night to rebuild the fairy bridge to Trollsville and the other worlds--the one she destroyed in order to claim her magical power.But the rocks fight her. Does the bridge not want to be repaired? Or did Christine take the wrong advice (from humans, of course) about how it should go together?Can she figure out the proper way to reassemble the bridge? Who can she trust?And what will she do once she finally finishes her duty and crosses over?"The Fairy Bridge Troll"--the final novel in the Seattle Trolls trilogy--continues the coming-of-age journey of Christine, a changeling, as she takes control of her Destiny, and in the end, her life.

I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers group in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I read the first in this series several years ago and remember being utterly delighted in the story telling and world building. I somehow missed out on the second in the trilogy but

just finished the third and final book. To my huge pleasure, it is just as delightful as I remember the first book being. Although it ties up all the threads from the first book and clearly references the second book, it is so well written that it can be read as a standalone book as everything the reader needs to know is economically included in the story. This is a feature I particularly liked as it felt organic and wasn't at all obtrusive so that the world was well sketched out without there being paragraphs (or chapters) of back story. The ending is a tiered affair with a bit of come-uppance and a happy-ever-after that completely fits the character which was deliciously satisfying. The book felt very short (always a good sign) and is written with a conciseness, exactness and brevity that I wish more authors (of all genres) would emulate. I think reading both previous books in the trilogy would only add to the pleasure of this novel but it is written so well that it works as a standalone, although I should imagine most readers will want to go back and follow Christine's previous adventures. I loved it. Show Less

I was given this book complimentary from LibraryThing.com in e-book form in return for my honest review. Everything stated in this review is of my own opinion and I was not compensated monetarily for providing this review.
I didn't realize that this is the third book in a series but enough
Not a bad book although not one that lingers in the mind. A nice book for a long journey. Couldn't get really attached to the m/c - her sister was more likable. She has only just found out she is a Troll and now she MUST have a Troll boyfriend, no one else is good enough - wtf.
Interesting non traditional trolls.
So so.

The book started where the Fairy Princess left off. The book showed the difference between good and il. I will recommend the book to middle school students.

Nice! I like it better than the last book - for one thing, Christine actually develops some self-confidence, and doesn't spend so much time whining about what she can't do or can't imagine herself doing. She actually shakes Tina out of her doldrums, near the end of the book. Building the bridge is

very good for her, on a lot of levels - for her magic, for her troll-ness, and for her self-image. Rebuilding it is even better - and the last attack lets her actually deal (more or less, and for now) with the looming threat that's been hanging over her for the entire series. A good solid happy ending for her (sounds like a pretty ideal life, to me!). I really need to find the first book of this series - I read the second, also through Early Reviewers, but not the first one. Show Less
