I’ve really enjoyed this series so I was excited to return to this world and catch up with Ransom. I would warn you I was very bored and seriously worried about finishing this book at first. Generally one of the things I like best about this author is his pacing which always keeps the story moving forward and easily keeps me rapt. I’ve found he’s always improving as a writer. Unfortunately I was very put off by his writing of Ransom and his wife as overly eager and overly affectionate newlyweds....
I thoroughly enjoy the storyline of Ransom and Claire. The Kingfountain series is my all-time favorite Wheeler series, so learning the back story for much of that is enjoyable as well. As usual for Jeff, this is a story I can get into, and I can wholeheartedly give it to my daughter to read, knowing that it is a clean and appropriate story for most any age.The poisoner portion of these books is right up my alley. I have always enjoyed following the "crazies" from the PIsan School, and this book
3.5 stars. I was really looking forward to reading this book and I did enjoy it, but parts of it made me rather sad and unsure of things. I was really excited to see Ransom and Claire finally together. Unfortunately Ransom gets called away all too soon and Claire is left to deal with things in her kingdom alone. I liked Claire a lot in the other books, but there were times here that she felt a bit out of character, and it affected the way I felt about the book. She seemed a bit too whiny and uns...
Ransom the hero started out well but later turned into this Gary sue who, for no logical reason, was "chosen" as the savior of a family of kings who were all fools.I wish he'd allowed them to all die even at the risk of destroying their world. Now, that would have been a story that made sense. What an eejit.
4 starsYou can read all of my reviews at Nerd Girl Loves Books.This is another great book in this fun YA Fantasy series that finds Ransom's loyalties tested at home and with his king. Newly married, the couple arrive in Legault to reclaim the title that was Claire's birth-right, but before the couple can make much progress on the dilapidated castle, Ransom is called away to serve King Benedict. Claire is upset and doesn't want him to go, but Ransom's duty is to answer his King's call.King Benedi...
My review disappeared. Loved it though
Great bookMore war between the kingdoms and the regular people in the towns and farms suffer. Ransom is forced to try to be in too many places at once.
I liked it a lot. Looking forward to how everything resolves in the next book!
4.5/5.0Another fine installment in one of the most lush, creative and addicting fantasy series today! Ransom is quickly becoming my all-time favorite hero. He embodies all that is honorable, loyal and good while still portraying a flawed and sometimes conflicted man. In this story, we get a very up-close and personal look at the hardships, heartaches and challenges loved ones face when duty to one's king must come foremost while duty to one's heart can't be denied. Although set in a fantasy worl...
