This is the third book of a trilogy, the first being Spymaster
which I might add, I thoroughly enjoyed.
I also enjoyed Privateer which was the second volume. Thomas the potential king finds the path to ruling
a rocky road.
As I mentioned in the review of Privateer, the plot is
complex. A lot of characters with
conflicting agendas. The reality of politics,
compromise and concession forces Thomas and his loyal friends into partnership
with previous foes.
Kate and Dalgren find themselves in situations where conscience
plays a huge part of their behavior.
There is plenty of action, deceit and betrayal as well as a
tiny bit of romance. The authors
successfully and satisfactorily wrap up the trilogy. I look forward to more books from this pair of
authors.
The relationships between characters provide much of the
interest to this book. Friends become
enemies, enemies become friends and subordinates forget to subordinate. As an added bonus there are plenty of strong female protagonists so this trilogy would be an ideal gift for young women to encourage them to follow their dreams.
The book was delightfully complex, interesting and
captivating.
I highly recommend the trilogy.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
