On the one hand, definitely better than the second book in the series. I think that overall the three books should have been cut down and put together in one book. There are too many characters and interconnected histories to space them out into three books--at least not without more background in each one. For example, the characters in the first book that make up the traveling group (the standard dwarf, wizard, fighter, etc., etc.) should have been left back in book 1, not allowed to linger in aside mentions through to the end--these characters served no purpose and just added to the name confusion. I also kept wondering why nobody went ahead and killed the bad guy. "I feel he still has a purpose to serve, so I must allow him to live." Ok, what? He's already been defeated once, left alone to become evil again, made a huge evil comeback, then he's just kinda sent away again? Make with the smackdown, already! And why was everybody so long-lived? All these people who are hundreds of years old and hugely powerful, and they couldn't have easily dealt with the problem? Yep, somewhat frustrating. Particularly since the woman who was so awesome in the first book becomes a big pansy as things progress. Too bad. As the final book of the first Nine Kingdoms trilogy, Princess of the Sword has it all. Action, adventure, love, battles, tears, laughter, and a happily ever after. Morgan and Miach are now sure what it is they need to do. They need to fulfill their quest by stopping the evil that Morgan's father let loose on the world twenty years earlier. But to do that, Morgan must put her own life in jeopardy. This does not, of course, sit well with Miach. Trying desperately to protect Morgan while still stopping Gair's evil is a tough line for Miach to walk. But he knows that he has no choice. For his duty binds him to protecting the kingdom and his heart binds him to protecting Morgan. This is a great conclusion to the trilogy. It has it all and it wraps up all the loose ends very well. I love the way the last fifth or so of the book really deals with the wrap up and the set up for the next trilogy. You will not walk away thinking that you have dedicated all this time to this story and left feeling unsatisfied wondering what happens next. Yes, the book has an epilogue, but it also gives you a clear cut conclusion. After three books, where some people had to wait years in between (gack! I couldn't imagine it!), it doesn't leave you wondering. And I love it for that. Although I personally prefer the second of the two trilogies, this one is a wonderful, sweet, gentle story that you can't help but love. Everyone who I have recommended it to loved it! It is a book that I say makes me forget to care for the kids because I read it and get so absorbed in the story. And that is still true even though I have read it many times now! :) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The Nine Kingdoms Trilogy now explodes in the fiercest battle yet as the fate of a kingdom lies with a man and woman bound by love, magic, and a legendary--and perilous--sword. When darkness falls... As the mercenary daughter of Gair, the black mage of Ceangail, Morgan is the only one who can stop the terrible sorcery her father unleashed. To do so, she must race against time and find the spell that will allow her to close the well of evil he opened. But that quest will lead her to places she never dreamed existed and into a darkness she would give anything to avoid. The magic rises. With the fate of Neroche intertwined with the closing of Gair's well, the archmage Miach must help Morgan find what she needs, not only because the safety of the Nine Kingdoms hangs in the balance, but because he will do anything to protect her. Now, as they search out the mysteries of Ceangail--and the dangers of Morgan's own bloodline--Morgan and Miach have only each other to trust, heart and soul... No library descriptions found. |

This was a light, fun read although it was quite formulaic.
