[Frum Books]

The long-awaited conclusion brings relief to the war-weary Jews of Khazar. Enemies plot to end years of division, but as their cunning plans near a showdown, they become dangerously intertwined. Weaving dozens of characters and storylines, The Final Battle features familiar heroes like Istrak, Mehallalel, and Yuzbad, but only the intriguing new characters can protect New Khazar on the edge. Pedahel sets out for exile seeking justice, until he learns of the gray area behind the story he’s been told. In the Sultan’s palace, Dizar wrestles with the horrific price of his family’s life. And Tarnal flounders, oblivious to his magical abilities that can untangle a web of distrust. Through slowly building suspense, complex characters confront their pasts, unearthing their true loyalties in a world where everyone is suspect and nothing is unexpected.

A very satisfying conclusion in the long awaited final book in this series. I enjoyed it very much.

This series could have been great, and it is great if you skim over the inauthentic dialogue and completely skip over the endless pages of soul-sucking guilt the characters never stop experiencing.
