The Way of Light

The third and final part of the chronicles of Magravandias brings together the characters and story line from the first two volumes. As the old emperor dies a power struggle between his sons seems inevitable but some people have a different idea of who should now rule.

Storm Constantine has created a vivid world with real and flawed characters. The way the story unfolds seems a right and fitting conclusion to what comes before. This is quality fantasy and I'll definitely be reading more of this author's work.

this series began well, but the initial enthusiasm flagged, with choice by the author to turn it into a relatively tame family squabble. The sense of wonder was not engaged by the later books. I was just not that interested by the time I got to volume three. I don't think I'll read any more books by Constantine.
