Summary:
Some magic should be forbidden.
Reunited safely in Panar, Miara, Aven, and their friends have conquered more obstacles than they thought possible. The Akarian Assembly has accepted Aven and his magic — and Miara as his queen. But the problems for Akaria and its freemages are only beginning. One ally has vanished. Another teeters on the edge of death. And a third will face a choice between duty and love.
Meanwhile, the Dark Master has marshalled the combined power of Mage Hall and Kavanar’s army. He’s closer than ever before to his goals: destroy the star mage and his magic, recapture those who’ve escaped, and seize all of Akaria for himself.
With the true, terrible potential of magic unleashed, no one can predict what destruction will be wrought. The struggle for the freedom of mage slaves culminates in all-out war in this third and final volume of the Enslaved Chronicles.
My Thoughts:
This was a thrilling conclusion to the Enslaved Chronicles. Miara is figuring out how to be Queen, and Aven is dealing with being King and the possible death of his father. Both are also still fighting a war. The Dark Master is still basically on their doorstep, just waiting for the right time to strike.
I enjoyed the story very much, and how it all ended.R. K. Thorne does a good job of building the tension. There were parts where I wanted to speed things up so I could get to the ending faster, just to ease the tension and see how everything worked out.
R. K. Thorne does have another series out called the Audacity Saga out, and I enjoyed this trilogy so much, I plan to look into the Audacity Saga. Currently, I can tell you there are 2 books out, with the second one just coming out last December.
