Great conclusion but not really right. The epilogue opens a new adventure but doesn't name it. I really enjoyed the climax but understood the reality that there are always some casualties you'd rather not have seen. Thanks, Jeff, and I wouldn't mind some of the references when you quote scripture. “One cannot destroy evil, little sister. It can only be bound for a season. It plants its seeds the moment we stop fighting against it.” (from The Forsaken Throne) The Forsaken Throne is the thrilling conclusion to Jeff Wheeler’s sixth (and final?) book in the Kingfountain series. After a raging fire has reduced the Forbidden Court to ashes – what was supposed to be the side of Tryneowy “Trynne” Kiskaddon’s coronation as empress – there is more at risk than ever. Meanwhile, Morwenna is plotting her revenge against Trynne, vowing to take away everything she holds dear – her family, her home, and her reputation – for the death of her father, Duke Severn. Trynne must keep her wits and rely on the will of the Fountain and her magic if she is to protect everything and everyone she loves. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t quite like this book as much as the others. I think I was a little off-put by the middle third of the book, which took place in Muirwood (no spoilers here). I have never read Wheeler’s Muirwood series, so I didn’t get the references to the characters and actions of those books which, though weren’t super important to the overall plot of The Forsaken Throne, I felt like I was still missing a lot. I also didn’t like how disconnected this book felt overall from the previous five books. I felt that the conclusion at the end of The Silent Shield, though not satisfactory, gave little room for expansion into a full sixth book, which is probably while the middle was spent in Muirwood – it felt more like filler than plot, and I wasn’t a fan. However, I did enjoy the book overall. The ending, though maybe a little predictable, still held surprises and was a great conclusion to this epic series. Thank you to NetGalley and 47North for a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review.

"A devastating disaster has left the Forbidden Court in ashes, its fountains destroyed, and its magic at risk. It was destined as the site of Trynne Kiskaddon's coronation as empress. Now, all Trynne can imagine is the roar of flames, the cries of Gahalatine's people, and the smell of cinders in a city gone dark. Tragic as the threat to Kingfountain is, it's nowhere near as foul as the treachery posed by Morwenna. Saboteur, conspirator, and full-blood sister of the king, she is prepared to set forth a wave of destruction that will eliminate everything that stands between her and possession of the throne. But Trynne has her weapons, too--her magic, her resilience, her skills at intrigue, and especially, Fallon. The man who once swore his allegiance to Morwenna now stands by Trynne's side as they venture into the unknown to protect those they love, reunite with a family scattered by diabolical forces, and safeguard a kingdom ... as well as the destiny the Fountain has for each of them."-- No library descriptions found. |

I loved the use of the different world, which I assume is to the earlier nine books he has but I haven't read. I do wish he'd actually used the Oath Maidens more after their creation, as i felt they got massively sidelined after being the important thing the main character was supposed to do, be, and train others to be/do.
