Triangles of Black: Once in a Thousand Years

Author: Ilona Ciller
Genre:  Science Fiction
Length: 361 pages (paperback)

Rating: 3 out of 5

I received a copy of Triangles of Black: Once in a Thousand Years in exchange for an honest review.

Sophie knows what she experienced.  She shares with Troy, her brother, who believes it is all in her mind.  He sets up an appointment with a counselor because he is concerned about her.  However, once Troy has his own experience, Sophie, Tracy (Sophie's friend) and Troy try to understand what is happening.

In the meantime, Troy finally lands a job as a farmhand.  Ironically, the Ministry of Power is interested in why the farm is not using electricity and how it is generating power.  This means Troy unexpectedly finds himself in the line of fire and must give up his job.

Troy, Sophie and Tracy are beginning to uncover a long forgotten world of magic.  They are being guided by three magical beings who are also trying to protect them as their lives are in increasing amounts of danger.

The story covers a variety of elements from magic, friendship, espionage, and corporate greed to name a few.  I found a few moments where I actually was laughing out loud.

The book itself would benefit from additional editing.  There were times when I found myself having to go back a few pages as the author had jumped scenes without a distinct break.  There were also times where the flow didn't make sense as sentences weren't complete.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next in the series.
