Product Description

Review

'A gripping and enthralling fantasy epic' THE TIMES 'A grand and powerful piece of writing' Katharine Kerr

Product Description

King Henry's kingdom has been ravaged by internecine warfare, in a conflict that has been both long and bloody. Furthermore, the spell holding the exiled Ashioi from the world has failed, and the land, ravaged by the fury of their return, is only now showing signs of recovery. Sanglant is struggling to legitimise his leadership as the returned Ashioi are planning war, and Stronghand has begun a march of conquest into the heart of Sanglant's realm. Adelheid and Antonia have made an unholy alliance, and Sabella and Duke Conrad are moving to seize Sanglant's crown. Cultures, religions, and races are clashing in what will be the ultimate struggle for control of this strange new world.

3.0 out of 5 stars half a book., 2 Mar 2007
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awe inspiring, 23 May 2006
This review is from: Crown of Stars (Paperback)
I have just realised that I have been reading this series of books for 8 years! And boy was it worth the wait...Frankly I usually get bored with these long, rambling, seemingly unending fantasy series' but not this one. Starting with King's Dragon in 1998 Elliott builds and sustains a hugely impressive net of interlocking grand themes which come to a final reckoning in this the final book - Crown of Stars. In a nutshell: Complex, fascinating characters; deftly described cultures and landscapes; religion in freefall; conspiracy and lots of really bloody warfare; sorcery on an epic scale; the most maddening central mystery rather like a chinese puzzle and finally a love story to die for. I don't usually write reviews but honestly more of you out there need to read these books - and hopefully inspire Kate to write more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh..., 7 Oct 2008
By Mrs. K. Brookbank "viciouslittlething" (Mendip, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
