This is book three of the Enduring
Flame trilogy. I think it may be the best of the three. The
previous two books are The Phoenix
Endangered and The
Phoenix Unchained . This book wraps up the trilogy quite nicely
but leave the door open for future books.
It seems like many fantasies are also
coming of age stories. Harrier and Tiercel are still age young at
the end of the story but experience wise they are thoroughly jaded.
The angst that the two go through is practicality painful. The
poignant introspection reminded me a bit of Feintuch's Seafort's
series. I kept hoping the authors would cut the kids some breaks.
The introduction of some new characters
and the growth of some of the tribes' folks adds to the flavor of the
brew. This is an excellent fantasy.
I highly recommend.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
