The Realms of God by Michael Livingston
5.0
This is a fabulous finale to Livingston's "Shards" trilogy, and I tore through this book in a couple of days. As in all the books, Livingston excels at creating characters you care about, even with their flaws, and a huge part of the enjoyment for me is finding out what will happen to them. This book is a real pageturner, and the action keeps moving from one ancient locale to another: Alexandria, Jerusalem, Petra and Livingston gives us just enough history to keep the fantasy grounded in reality.
There are a lot of awesome scenes in this book, as we follow the three unleashed demons, the odious Tiberius, some old friends, and Miriam around the ancient world (and beyond!). There's a scene below the temple in Jerusalem that is superb, and everything that takes place in Petra is stellar. I LOVE these books so much, and I'll miss many of these characters now that the story is over. A fabulous read.
