The gripping final in the Starkin trilogy, with a prince on a quest, his devoted friend and a snooty princess-turned ally. As always, the humbler characters are wonderfully drawn and very appealing.
The snooty princess gradually becoming a friend device, echoes and reflects each layer in the trilogy.
In this third installment, the lovers didn't ring quite true for me - perhaps they were not tested as much, or they became aware of their mutual attraction too soon; the mutual attraction gradually u...more

After reading the second book in this series* I was looking forward to reading this. Once again I loved everything about the book. Honestly, Kate Forsyth is one of my favourite authors ever and The Starthorn Tree is my favourite book so I'm a tad biast. But I do mean it when I say that this is a fantastic read. I loved the romance because it isn't what you'd expect :D

This is the final instalment of the series and as expected continues from the next generation, like the pervious book. Out if the three I enjoyed this book the most and not because it was the last one. This book does answer all the questions from the previous two books and doesn't leave anything for the author to wonder about ... expect maybe who Jack marries. And it does end on a happy note and gives the reader a nice feeling and in my opinion (could be wrong here) conveys a message of - this i...more
I absolutely loves everything in this book, it's probably my favourite out of the three. It was a beautiful read and I loved how in the end all of the main heroes were together (well almost). I was continuously screeching, muttering and hyperventilating during the course of reading this book and the two companions. So glad my sister let me read this series.
The first book in this series, The Starthorn Tree, was my absolute favourite childhood book and I can still read it and enjoy it today - but from there, it's all gone downhill. Forsyth should've just stopped at the first.
I really enjoyed reading this one, althought I wish I'd read the previous books as trying to get my head around the differences of the Wildkin, the Hearthkin, and the Starkin was a little hard at first.
Great book though!

I think this was a great book,very suspenseful and mysterious. I reccommend this book to anyone who has a taste for adventure. :D
