...but had a fairly strong conclusion.

Mr. Graham has room for improvement here, and this last novel in a long series evidences this. After a hundred pages, that first battle got a little dry, and the dialogue was slightly monotonous, along with a few other things I could mention. The characters and the world felt modern, which clashed with the obviously fantastical setting, and the 'dread captain of the Nolthanim' title irritated me through it's overuse--as well as the contraction he'd. To clear away these nuisances can sometimes be a chore, and though the idea was wonderful, I find the execution of it slightly lacking. Even so, the ending was strong and left me longing for the restoration as much as the next person, and I think that despite it's other problems this book is decent at the least. The series had a great beginning, a middle that felt rather drawn out, but the final closing chapters saved this one for me, and I don't regret reading it.

This is the 5th and last book in the Binding of the Blade series. It was well worth the wait, and the ending was very satisfying - some bad things happen early on, but the ending makes up for it all. The ending is a tad bit anti-climactic, since the last major battle comes well before the end. But overall, I really enjoyed it (and the whole series).

I began reading the "Binding of the Blade" series by L.B. Graham several years ago, and only recently bought the final three books. The final installment of the series, "All My Holy Mountain", is by far my favorite. It made me laugh and cry more frequently than any other book has in a very long time. This epic story is full of surprises, some good and some bad, but all pointing the readers, like the characters in the books, toward the Creator. The middle three books, which focus on the shadow being cast over Kirthanin by the Satan-like character Malek, are compelling but also a little bit depressing. They are full of darkness as Malek's armies march forward and destroy everything in their path, but there are powerful flashes of hope in the chaos. "All My Holy Mountain" is the culmination of what has become my favorite Christian fiction series, ending with the final defeat of Malek by Allfather, and the much-awaited restoration of Kirthanin. The character of whom I, and another "Binding of the Blade" fan I know are most fond also makes a brief but deeply moving appearance in the final pages of the book. I strongly reccomend this series to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction.

After over a year of waiting, I finally was able to read the final installment of the Binding of the Blade saga. All the frustration, aggravation, and waiting was worth it. Every death, every sacrifice, every struggle, built toward the climatic finish when Malek was defeated once and for all. If you just couldn't stand the thought of another tragic ending, hold on. It's all worth it in the end.

It took some time to arrive, but it was well worth the wait! This last book was very satisfying. Mr. Graham wrapped everything up in a way that did justice to the entire series. I seriously doubt anyone could be disappointed if they have read the other four books. These books are not only for young adults. They are certainly profitable to read as an older adult. To be honest, don't let the covers fool you into thinking this series is just another fantasy series for kids. It is not. It has depth and it teaches lessons if one is willing to hear. Well done Mr. Graham. I look forward to any other future writing you might have published!!!!

Simply excellent. I've been waiting for this release that concludes the series, and it was worth the wait. Fantastic!

I received my products in a timely fashion and in excellent condition...I would certainly recommend this seller to others...Thank you and may God bless and prosper you.

This conclusion to the Binding of the Blade series was awesome!!! It has to be my favorite book in the series. The book was also filled with surprises and unexpected plot twists!

I bought the first volume of this series on holiday in Yorkshire from a Christian book shop. We enjoyed reading it but just having the first volume is no use! After quite a long break we then bought all the subsequent volumes culminating in this final part. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these books. The characters and the story are gripping and I especially enjoyed the battles! I felt comfortable with my children reading the series except when they wanted them at the same time as I did!

Thank you L.B.Graham!

This final book brings it all together. I must say that the foreshadowing could have been lessened, as I figured out all the surprises and who was who before they happened. Overall the story elements all came together and were wrapped up nicely. This was a well done allegory, from the sin debt of man to God's redemptive power. Also, a parallel to the time of the Millennial Reign of Christ.

It had action, yet the story was fully realized. It picked up where book four left off and took the story through to completion. The actual aftermath of the conflict was addressed, which was a plus. The only thing I would have added would be the healing of Evrim near the end.

Overall, a good, final book for a good series.
