This was a good book. Three companions start a journey to find a magical pendant and along the way become integral parts of a prophecy that could mean the end of the world as they know it. There is a constant change in scenery as they travel around their world gaining allies, seeking knowledge, and fighting battles. The characters are likeable, especially Lomar and Kaplan, and I couldn’t predict the story as it unfolded. There is no swearing or sexual content. This would be a great book for

The Prophecy of the Kings trilogy is a fantastic epic. David Burrows creates a vibrant and compelling world which captivates his readers.

He stumples upon outlaws who plan to kill a stranger named Lars and comes to his aid against his better judgement. Together the pair, set off to compete in the Pendrat games and come across a wizard named Vastra whom asks for their assistance retrievi

The story is very good. If you enjoy fantasy literature, you will like the story. The battle scenes are described very nicely, as is the scenery. I would have loved to see some more character development in some of the moderately important characters, but the most important characters are developed in such a way that one finds oneself interested in what will happen to them.
The only real complaint that I have about the book is that it is in need of some major editing. There are More...

I won this book in a First-Reads givaway, and I am so glad i did! This is a three part series...and I am glad that I have them all in one book. The first book ended in such a way that I would have had to make a trip to the city to find the second one if it had not already been there. David Burrows has created a world, that while similar to other fantasy settings, is supremely his own, and his characters live and react in that world.

I received a copy of the full The Prophecy of the Kings Trilogy from the LibraryThing Member Giveaways program. I do enjoy this type of fiction and I thought that the first book may lead to me purchasing the other two, but the author was generous enough to send out a copy that had all three books in it.
I really enjoyed the story and found that the books were very easy to ready and very enjoyable. The story truly follows Kaplyn, a price of Allund, through his adventures after he l More...

I really wanted to like this and give it a good rating. The story is solid and compelling, but due to poor execution/presentation, I couldn't go on after page 146. The author has talent and good ideas, but one of the hazards of self-publishing is not working with an editor, and one was sorely needed here. There are an abundance of typos, sound-alike words used in the wrong place, and even plot holes which an editor would have helped resolve. After a while, this just became annoying and I put

Prophecy of the Kings is an excellent read! It's the combined trilogy by the author David Burrows.
Book 1 is Legacy of the Eldric. It sets up the story, following the story of Kaplyn, Lars and Lomar, with the sorcerer Vastra. I found this part to drag on a tad to much, but overall, the author did a wonderful job setting up the story. Likeable characters, both good and bad. The ending was intense, and I was so glad I had all three books, so I was able to dive right in to the sec More...

This was not a book for me. I finished the first book in the trilogy and had to abandon the rest. I actually had high hopes for this book, especially after reading the preface. That hope dwindled after the first 20 pages.
Legacy of the Eldric has such an Eragon-esque feel I truly struggled to keep reading. The only exception was our travelers did not have access to a dragon - although, one was mentioned. It was amazing how terribly similar these two stories were. Both could have benef More...

This is the story of a young, irresponsible prince that ran away to have an adventure, and an adventure he got. Kaplyn, our prince that is last in line for the throne after his many older brothers, finds himself mixed up with stranded foreigners, power-hungry sorcerers, evil demons, religious zealots, ghosts, and bloodthirsty dragons. His journeys lead him to search for the Eldric people, a race of powerful sorcerers that disappeared after one of their own nearly destroyed the world thousands

I had a hard time rating this book because it kept me extremely interested for almost the entire book. Kaplyn is a great main character with courage and enough humility to help him be successful. The book didn't feel too long, and in fact, parts seemed to rush by maybe too quickly. The first 3/4 of the book gave me high hopes. However, as I got to the end of this book there were some extremely confusing parts. I think much of what happened between different worlds and regarding shaols made

Prophecy of the Kings is a fantasy trilogy that follows the adventures of Kaplyn, an immature overindulged prince who yearns to escape the tedium of court by embarking on an adventure. The adventure winds up encompassing a longer time span than Kaplyn would have ever expected and the world that he knows undergoes a complete upheaval. The creatures that Kaplyn only knows as characters in tales are actually based in fact and the adventure becomes a fantastical journey to save the wor More...

When I won this book from the goodreads First Read, I was very excited. The synopsis sounded interesting. However, the books did not deliver. I struggled through the first, and had I not received all three books and promised to read them and give my opinion to the author, I would not have finished it. The second book was better, and the third dropped off again. The main storyline was sometimes forgotten or neglected with focus going to side stories and events that didn't have bearing on the fina

I won this book in the Goodreads.com first reads giveaway.
I am almost finished with book one of the trilogy and it's just now starting to hold my attention. There are quite a few spelling and/or grammatical errors that are annoying and distracting. The story also has a lot of redundancy but I will keep reading and give a full review later.

I find the premise entertaining, but the beginning was too hard to get into and much of it clichéd. There's talent in the book, but I think it would benefit from someone (probably another author or voracious reader) going through it and doing some cutting down to give the opening a little more oomph. Personally, I couldn’t get past it’s slow pace.

Fantastic fantasy series! This series has everything a fantasy lover like me wants out of a story. It had me constantly turning the pages to find out what happens next! Very exciting and gripping in every aspect of the word. I recommend this series to all fantasy lovers, I know you'll love it as much as I do!

Utter twaddle. This book combines ye olde English with modern London slang. It can't figure out what it's supposed to be. In desperate, desperate need of an editor and/or ghost writer. A very poor imitation of the Covenant Chronicles and Lord of the Rings. The pace is painfully slow.
