Whatever you do, do not read the ending first. I found the wait almost unbearable, but very much worth it. And if you possibly can, read parts I and II first! I first read the book at a gulp, in one night, without breathing, gripped by the story as if by an iron vice. I read it again next day, more slowly, sitting down now and then in the middle of the page to enjoy the landscape. Our hero from the parts I and II has grown more powerful and therefore more tormented, and quite grim. His destiny - what a destiny! - he bears without even thinking of whining, only exploding a little now and then. We never really knew him, before. He is great. And the story is worthy of him.

This is the final chapter is the series (Winter of The World), and what a way to finish. On the front cover of the book, there is a quote that "the pages turn as if by magic". I have to agree. You just can't leave this book down. M.S. Rohan carries you to another time, another world, a place full of magic, honour, pain and joy. If you haven't read all three books, then stop reading this and start reading them.

This book was in excellent condition for being a used paperback edition. The quickness in receiving this item was great. As well as the book being wonderful. I have the previous books to this series and was happy to finally have the final book. Thanks

This is one of the few non-derivative fantasy works created since the Lord of the Rings. I've read the trilogy more than once, and have always been struck by its originality. While nothing matches the depth and authority of Tolkien, this comes close and with a more modern voice. I imagine this to be an undiscovered treasure for most fantasy fans.
