War has arrived, and Carthya is surrounded by enemies. King Vargan is attempting to beat Carthya’s Ascendant King at his own game and, to be honest, Jaron’s tricks may have finally run out. Imogen has been captured. Obviously, it’s a trap meant for him, but what choice does Jaron have other than to play King Cargan’s game? For Imogen’s sake. For Carthya’s.
With his friends flung far and wide across Carthya and the neighboring kingdoms and with no idea if they are even alive, Jaron sets out on what may be his last journey to save everything and everyone he loves.
Jaron won’t run even if it spells his death. Because, in the end, is his life really worth the brave, loyal souls this war has already taken?
This book is as obstinate as the main character. It is what it is. Whether the reader likes it or not because of that is up to them. I happened to love it!
While there were some aspects that felt a little unrealistic (the war campaign, for example) in The Shadow Throne, the characters were as memorable as ever. I did miss Jeron’s antics as Sage, and this story has an overall more solemn tone, yet it still remains, like the others in the series, a nail-biting adventure you won’t want to miss.
Overall, I’m happy with how the “trilogy” ended, but I’m not quite ready to let these characters go, and I’m very excited that the author has decided to give us more adventures with Prince Jaron in the future.
Rated: Mild, for quite a bit of violence and blood (though nothing super graphic).
