The Children of Triune is an adventure-filled story about a group of children preparing to face the biggest and most dangerous event of their lives, known as "the Final Binding." The story is centered in Triune, a world made up of three parts: the Upper, the Middle, and the Deep, which is the oldest part of Triune.

Gilly was a young girl in Triune. She always saw herself as someone very ordinary. Unlike the others around her, she didn't have a gift, and this made everyone believe that she had little or no chance of surviving the Final Binding and making it to the Upper. As she prepares for the biggest and most dangerous challenge of her life, the big questions remain. Will she survive the final binding and make it to the Upper? Is her ordinary life hiding something extraordinary? Read this book to find out.

I liked the way Dorianne Ashe described the world of Triune, breaking it down from the Upper to the Deep. I also liked the fact that Gilly's character was easy to connect with. Despite being the odd one out, it didn't stop her from making efforts to get a gift even when she was scared. Also, I actually enjoyed reading about her relationship with her friends, Sophia, Sauns, and Tobey. I liked the way they supported and cared for each other.

This book had a lot of suspense, which was what made its plot unique. As I started reading the book, I actually thought that it was just about a group of children who would make it to the Upper. However, as I read further, I realized that there was much more about Triune that even the group of children didn’t know. Also, the big question surrounding who was "the one" in the book made it more interesting.

There were a few things I didn't like about the book. The ending of the book felt incomplete for me. I actually felt like the book ended when things were actually starting to get interesting. The author used a lot of big words like "kitsune hauler," "moonaurora," and many others, which made some parts of the book confusing. I would have appreciated it if the author had added a glossary at the end of the book. It would have made my reading experience smoother. Overall, I rate the book four out of five stars. I deducted a star because of the dislikes I mentioned above. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and stories that keep you guessing all the way. They would definitely enjoy reading it.
