This is definitely my favorite of the trilogy. I am impressed with Jennifer Nielsen's ability to make each book in the series better than the previous one. I had high expectations for this book, and my expectations were far exceeded.

Not a huge fan of this series, glad I didn't buy the books.
There are soooo many twists in this book, but only one of them actually surprised me (HARLOWE IM LOOKING AT YOU). There are too many moments where Jaron is captured but eventually escapes, it becomes repetitive. You can see what is coming behind every corner (GASP! JARON ESCAPES AGAIN, for the 5th time?). This arc was a boring, though the gold of this series was in the banter of conversation, all the war happenings were a little tiresome.

I loved this book a lot, but it suffered from one trope that I hate with a passion which prevented it from getting 5 stars.

People that are killed should stay dead. Imogen wasn't dead of course, I knew it wasn't true. This was a book about war, and it seemed to wrap up too well and happy. That's the only thing I had a problem with.hannahniah's review against another edition

This final installment of the series reminded me a great deal of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series. Lots of battling, clever strategizing, relying on your friends, and doing what is best for the good of others. Jaron is a winning scamp in the first books, and he is also becoming a good ruler. A satisfying ending to the series. One final thought, I felt that the first two books in this series could appeal equally to both genders, this book might please more of the boys than the girls.
