This was a satisfying conclusion to the series. We learn a bit more about the secret Camberian Council but really just enough to tantalize and make me want to read the next series. Although the book ends with a victory it is not a particularly happy ending and I liked that. I also liked that these books weren't extremely long. Many fantasy books these days seem to be so bloated. This series felt tight. It had a lot of detail but it moved along and it actually ended. There are other series

These comments apply to all 3 books of the original Deryni Trilogy, Deryni Rising, Deryni Checkmate, and High Deryni. I really enjoyed this series.

In the third book of the introduction to the Deryni, Werin de Grey’s crusade against the Deryni is supported by the Curia of Gwynedd and Corwyn is placed under Interdict while Alaric and Duncan are excommunicated just as Gwynedd is coming under attack by Wencith of Torenth, Deryni leader of one of Gwynedd’s neighbors.

The review from the previous two books applies to this book as well. The situation with Derry in the last half of the book really adds some depth to the book. I also thought Wencit was a proper villain that I loved to hate. Well done there.

This book was just as exciting and entertaining as the last two. I was a little disappointed, however, with the ending. I don’t want to ruin the book by being specific. I’ll just say that the ending wasn’t as epic as the story was leading up to. It was still good. Don’t get me wrong. I just expected more. As a whole, though, the book was awesome.
