This third (and what seems like final) installment of Broaddus’ Indianapolis street-gang saga begins with an unspeakable act of violence as two gangs battle for supremacy in the wake of King’s most recent setbacks. It seems he’s getting soft and the time is at hand for a new leader to take charge of the inner-city underworld. And when King is shot during an ambush, his rival, Dred, begins to draw as many as he can over to his side as his magical abilities grow stronger.

After I finally read the first book in this trilogy (I read the second installment, King's Justice, first since I got it before King Maker), I was ready to dive into the final showdown on Breton Court. Reading a series out of order usually comes with some peril, so I was a little hesitant how much trouble I'd have getting into the story even though I'd counted the second book among my ten favorites last year despite having skipped the first at the time.

I think I enjoyed this more than I enjoyed the second book (the first is still my favourite), but I felt a little bit like I got the abridged version. I would have liked more of it, especially the bits with the holy grail. Still, now that I've finished them all, I have a tremendous appreciation for this series as a whole; it's both imaginative and grounded, and I think the legend translates astonishingly well.
Review to follow soon, but clearly from the number of stars, I loved it!
