Love this series! Kaochoy Saechao I have been a fan of this series ever since reading the first Summoner Novel by Gail Z Martin. This one is no different in read quality.. "Another terrific installment" according to Andrew Shippy. .Please say this isn't the last we'll here about this amazing cast of characters. The book is the conclusion to the Fallen Kings Cycle. It's also the sixth book following the adventures and challenges of Tris Drayke, Kiara Sharsequin, Jonmarc and Carina Vahanian, and the rest of the amazing cast characters; but I'm still wanting more. Ms. Martin has created a fantastic world in the Winter Kingdoms. I like the pacing - not bogged down with too many details (enough to keep me wanting more) and not just a series of action-movie scenes. I liked this installment a . Good writing. Calms me down. Major Leigh I love this kind of stuff. If you enjoy nicely written fantasy with enjoyable characters, easily followed plot, gosh! What's not to love.Only 4 stars because you should not confuse this with great writing or wonder if this is a new classic novel that will be studied for the ages.But----if you love this kind of easy reading, pleasant writing, good story, empathetic characters, All that I, frankly, need then buy this short little series. I love this writer. When she publishes again, I shall buy it.The writing is good. I recommend this writer and her stories wit
