Its hard to say much about this without spoiling it for those who are yet to read it. It is the final chapter in the crown of stars saga, and it ends the story neatly, the heroes win the bad guys lose.Characters pasts are finally revealed and well you get the idea.
Crown of stars is as well written as the rest of the series, but offers no major suprises, it just brings it all to a neat close.
If you have read the rest, you will no doubt read and enjoy this. Then feel ambivilent about it. Getting to the end of a long series of books usually has that effect.

I have enjoyed this series and it's taken a while to get to book 7.
'King Henry's kingdom has been ravaged by internecine warfare, in a conflict that has been both long and bloody. The bitter in-fighting within King Henry's court and the ceaseless attrition of raiders has weakened his reign and saps his strength. Yet brute force alone will not be enough to stay the darkness that has been foretold as the shadow of the Cursed Ones has fallen. The spell holding the exiled from the land is failing fast and Liath's wild sorcery may not be enough to stay the greatest threat this world has ever seen.'
I felt the ending was a bit too easy, but the book was great.

Like the other reviewer I too have been reading this series for eight years but not with the eager anticipation that reviewer felt. It's been more a case of wanting to get to the end to find out if I wasted as much time as I thought I had. The first two books- The Kings Dragon and Prince of Dogs were original and evey bit as enthralling as they promised but then followed three of the longest most confusing and obtuse novels I've ever read and I read a lot(on average a book a week). Mulitple plot lines, far too many characters seemingly out of nowhere and a whole load of religious /mythical mumbo jumbo that at times I just wanted to scream in frustratrion.Only with this last one has the fog slowly cleared and some( but not all ) of the mulitple threads have come together to make some kind of sense and then just when you think finally I get it Ms Eliot adds an epilogue that is both pointless and leaves yet more questions unresolved- please promise me that doesn't mean there's an another of this interminable saga to come! If you have patience, a lot of time to kill - like a long long hospital stay or several long haul flights and you like your fantasy writing to be onscure dense and puzzelling then knock yourself out. Otherwise read Tolkien,Frank Herbert's Dune,George R.R Martin or Diana Gabaldon. They really can tell a massive story and keep you hooked from page to page.

Fascinating read of the land of Novaria which now looks like what Europe may have appeared to be when the ice age was receding. Read more
