Quentin reigns as the Dragon King and faces the insidious attack of evil from within himself when Nimrood holds his son hostage (Goodreads).
The first two novels being relatively lackluster, Lawhead concludes his fantasy trilogy on a surprisingly pleasant note, showcasing much more complex and intriguing character development that is thought out well and an equally enjoyable plot with just the right amount of detail and layering. The new additions to the supporting cast are well utilized, although the main antagonist does not live up to expectations, and some of the main character's side-quests seem a bit pointless. Although it does surpass its predecessors in terms of quality, this third novel also seems very disconnected from the first two in terms of series continuity and overall structure. That being said, one cannot ignore its relative superiority. Overall, that’s obviously not saying much, as the first two were quite poor. 6.9/10
