Is it over already?

There is one thing that you will not like about this book. It will have you wanting MORE at the end. I do not mean that the story is lacking by any means, though. I mean that you will want to know what happens next to the characters and hear more of their stories. This is actually two books in one. Half of it takes place in Tobyn Ser revolving around Jaryd and the other half in Lon Ser revolving around Meylor. I found it very amazing how Coe seemed to change the characters (there is a ten year period between the happenings in the first book and the third) while keeping them the same. Coe's ability to tell a story is one of the best. You will not get bored or recieve any filler all the while being on they edge of your seat. I had trouble putting this book down and though it is not so in depth as many other fantasy series, it is fun if nothing else. Definately read this series.

Amazing new trilogy, a thrill ride.

This is a great read! For people who like fantastic fiction with wizards and villains, it is a must. Each of the three novels is excellent and satisfactory. The Eagle-sage is the final volume and does not loose a beat. The narrative tension or line from book one to the third volume conclusion is great. I read all three at once and find it hard to imagine having to wait a year or more inbetween volumes. Buy all three and enjoy.

Read this book.

I was a bit hesitant about making this purchase since although I found his first book in the series really amazing and interestingly-concieved, I found the second book a bit of a let-down. This third and final book was truly entertaining and well-crafted, albeit still not quite approaching the level of the first book with its focus on one character's journey. The ending was definitely a let down --- too predictable and not enough emotional resonance was developed in developing the arc of a great romance (there was much potential here that could have borne much greater fruit). Still, a very enjoyable read with interesting ideas and characters that make it difficult to put down; better editing and more thought into a more creative ending with some greater element of tragedy (the writing style seems more superficial in this third book than his first novel, perhaps because of its focus on so many different smaller characters to provide momentum to events rather than character development). Still, much better than what is generally available on the market; I think Mr. Coe is proving himself to be a gifted storyteller. I look forward to reading his next fantasy project.

an excellent fantasy author

ever since i first read Children of Amarid i have been VERY excited to read any other David B Coe books. the author is an excellent writer and you grow to love the characters, no matter how annoying they are! The plots are very complex and take many turns, nothing is predicatble. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy
