The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.25/5 from 8 reviews Definately NOT the EndIt Just Keeps Getting Better and BetterOkay, I'll get it out of the way...I love this series, I love the gore, the fighting, the cliches of fantasy, but most of all I love the story...Rob just keep em coming. This is by far the best of the series. If you enjoyed the first 2 books, you'll like this one even more. If you didn't like the first 2 don't waste your time... I can hardly wait for the next book! enthralling and memorable seriesPrince Tristan killed his father Nicholas to prevent his sire from opening the portal that would allow the Heretics to enter the realm, allowing the Vagaries, those who practice dark magic to wipe out those who work for the good of mankind (the Vigors). The prince and his sister are the chosen ones who are supposed to bring into harmony the Vigors and the Vagaries but because of his Azur blood Tristan is not trained in the use of magic. Wizards Wigg and Faegan won't teach him until they find a way to turn his blood red. Nicholas' legacy is being carried out by his acolyte Krassus who is searching for Tristan's half-brother Wulfgar and the scrolls of the Vigors and the Vagaries. Using his magic he has conjured up an army of near invulnerable monsters to help him seek out what he needs to carry out his plan. When Wulfgar and the scroll of the Vagaries are brought to him, he is able to bring Wulfgar to the side of the Vagaries, setting up a confrontation between the two brothers for the future of the world. Volume III of the Chronicles of Blood and Stone is the last book in an enthralling and memorable series. There are many otherworldly sentient who side with the protagonist and the antagonist and both sides are loyal to their individual masters. One has to put the villain who was transformed against his will into a power hungry man who wants to reshape the world in his own image. Robert Newcomb is a great worldbuilder who will be one of tomorrow's superstars. Harriet Klausner | ||||||||||||||||||||
It was not.
Newcomb's style of writing seems to be improving in each volume. And since there are three more volumes after this one(at least) I can not wait until the others come out.
I think that he had a three book deal(originally) to Del Rey may have made it appear that it was a trilogy.
Since book four is already titled Savage Messiah and book 5 and 6 listed for future I think we will have quite a few more adventues in "The Chronicles of Blood and Stone"
