An interesting read. Not perfect, but not bad.,
By Fred The Cat "Fred. Just fred." (The Wilds of North Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Way Beneath: The Third Book of The Kingdoms (Paperback)
I've read all three books of the kingdoms, and, if you ignore the errors in continuity, they're overall a fairly good read. They language used seems forced and archaic (perhaps intentionally), so it takes a few reads for us average Joe (or Jane) Sixpack's to get the nuances and follow the plot development. This series actually presents the main characters (and several of the lesser characters) in a much more human light than many other series I've seen (my opinion, of course).
My biggest gripe about this entire series is the lack of wrap-up. There were many questions left un-answered, with many characters that were well developed suddenly dropping off the face of the earth, as it were. Perhaps I just like a nice ending to my books. They don't have to all be of the happily ever after formula, but I DO enjoy seeing things like the heros getting home to a throng of cheering people, highlighted by a desperately worried and royally peeved mother, for instance. Again, overall, a decent read, but the ending leaves a LOT to be desired.

I could take this book or leave it. The story line was OK, but not something I'd recommend to anyone but an avid reader.

Great ending!,

Most people seem to think that the sequel(s) never live up to the original in a series. That is not true in this case, though. With a subtle ease, the author seems to draw the reader into the novel despite it being a resolution to the series. And when finished you, the reader, are left with the accurate impression that you have read something of very good quality. A great ending to a great trilogy.
