This book is the third and final book in his The Tethered Citadel trilogy and, for my sins, it’s also the first of them that I have read.
The book starts with a brief resume of books 1 and 2 before continuing the story. As we meet each character we are filled in as to who they are and a brief history to keep us in the loop.
This is not a fantasy where we confuse the good guys with the bad guys (and there are good and bad factions) and we know who we’re rooting for from the off. Sometimes we want a complex plot, sometimes we want one that jiggles about but is easy to follow – this one jiggles a lot.
Very well written and extremely addictive, this book is fabulous fun and I enjoyed it immensely. Yes, I knew who would prevail and peace would reign, because it's that kind of story, but that didn’t change a thing for me.
I really would recommend this to both established fantasy readers and new readers alike.
Clearly, if I attempted to summarise the plot it could give spoilers to anyone with plans to read books 1 and 2.
