Portion of back-of-book summary: "One of the changelings' own has betrayed them. Now he sails for Ireland, ancient home of the sidhe, accompanied by the Forsworn Prince, who has three of the faerie treasures known as the Immortal Eyes. The remaining oathmates must follow in search of the fourth and final Eyestone..."

Court of all Kings is conclusion to the great Immortal Eyes trilogy, and as I advise for any book series, be sure to read the first two novels (The Toybox and Shadows on the Hill) in order to get the full experience. Jackie Cassanda's storyline and characters are so absorbing that I had to make myself read slower so that I wouldn't rush through the novels. The ending of Court of all Kings was very surprising and a little sad, but overall it was a great read.

I was disappointed by the second book in this series, and so my expectations for this one were lower, and it exceeded them. It still doesn't do what I'd just once like to see in a book that is part of a trilogy: it doesn't stand on its own. The first book of this series mostly did, and the second book did not at all; this book came close, but I'm uncertain as to whether it could be read on its own. It is a fine completion to a fine story, and almost manages to be a top-notch story on its own; I'd rate the series as a whole at four stars, and recommend it highly. The characters are very realistic, and very enjoyable, and the Changeling world is one in which I would like to see more stories. I hope that Cassada is working on more.
