So, yes, I shared a tear or two while reading The King's Traitor . I cannot be more surprised as the first in the series barely managed to capture me, but somehow, the author has made me feel for his characters and I loved how he wove the threads leading to that ending (view spoiler)[ I’m all team Sinia, though I cried for the loss of Evie (hide spoiler)]. So yes, the ending was satisfying and closed the trilogy well – with a small loose-hanging thread to make it clear, that the story will cont...
Thoroughly enjoyable light fantasy series.
I received this in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. Thank you to the author, Jeff Wheeler, and the publisher, 47North, for this opportunity.This is the third and final installment in the Kingfountain fantasy series and, in my opinion, is by far the greatest! This is a series that has continued to go from strength to strength as it has progressed and I am so sad that my journey with it has come to a close!All three books have been told from the perspective of Owen Kiskaddon, who has
This was a great ending to a King Arthur (and Little Mermaid) retelling.I genuinely think this is a series that might appeal more to women than men, it is a greatly told story of trust and mistrust, of justice and fairness. I was just so enchanted by the series and I just loved the magic system - which I do not think it is based on anything I have read so far. The book just left me with happy, a fantasy story with a very positive approach. There is death but I believe it can be coped with. The w...
Brilliant If you liked Six of Crows, then you need to read this series or anything that’s authored by Jeff Wheeler.
An enjoyable read but far too predictable. It had the premise for a great story but fell flat for me: the fact that it was fairly predictable to guess what was going to happen did the book a big disservice. There was so much potential in there for greater characterisation. A bit humdrum in the end.
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this from NetGalley. The King's Traitor is a fabulous ending for the Kingfountain series. I listened to the first two books on Audible -- Jeff Wheeler and Kate Rudd are an unbeatable combo--but was so eager to find out how the series wrapped up that I couldn't wait for the audio this time. Very strong recommend!!!
*** 4.35 ***"...“Inside each person lives two wolves. One was full of evil, jealousy, anger, resentment. The other wolf was kind, benevolent, generous, and dutiful. Owen had asked how someone could survive with two such beasts inside them. Would not one of them eventually win? Duke Horwath had given him a crinkled smile. “Which wolf wins?” he had asked. “The one that you feed.”― Jeff Wheeler, The King's Traitor..."What an enchanting retelling of the Arthur story! A very different take on the leg...
Probably 4 - 4.5 stars but extra star for characters making good choices so I don't have to throw my Kindle across the room AND because in the author's notes he mentions Richard Armitage as a casting choice should the series ever be filmed. ;)
i cry every time lmfao
4.5/5.0If one enjoys a truly epic tale where the twists and turns are so deftly written that the reader can NEVER guess what will happen next, this is the book and series for you!!! Every single time, I thought I knew how things would turn out, something would happen and I would be right back to biting my nails and furiously turning the pages. There were actually times when the tears were leaking down my cheeks... and this is from someone who thought she was, by now, immune to that drivel and sa...
Easily the best book in the series so far and you can tell that even early on. Its a shame it took Wheeler 2 whole books to ramp up to this but I am definitely glad I stuck with the series. It isnt Sanderson level but definitely a good page turner. Once I was past about 30% I read the rest in a little over a day. Everything that built up to this point started morphing and collapsing in on itself. The magic ramped up, the espionage took some twist, secrets were revealed and kingdoms changed. That...
Received from Netgalley for honest review,thanks to author.This is 3rd in series of books about Owen Kiskaddon and his life from young boy in too far and growing into a fine Nobleman.Brilliant story,which was well written throughout the series and was a joy to read.Basically a coming of age saga,but really good,well thought out an thoroughly enjoyable.Great series ,I recommend you give it a go.
What an excellent addition to this series. I love when series just keep getting better and better. The introduction of Sinia is quite wonderful as I was worried about the direction without Evie. Very well done. I applaud you.
DNF.I will say, the author's note at the end cracked me up."By the way, if this series is ever made into a movie, I kindly request that Richard Armitage play King Severen, thank you."
Reader thoughts: I love it when a series ends well! And Kingfountain certainly ended well. I'll say what I can without giving too much away. Ahem.The overall plot. This ended well because it wasn't just armies fighting and the bigger army wins. No. It was magic (can we move the chess pieces?) and strategy (is the king lying to his messengers?) and sneaking (who's hiding in the snow bank?) and allies (will the commoners follow a tyrant?) and prophecy (why is it still snowing?) and performance (wh...
