Review:
This was a slow-paced series, but this last book did have more action, what with some big battles being fought. There was also a lot of political strive to deal with though, and I appreciated that the author didn't just skip over all of that after the battle had ended.
I will admit there were some things I didn't quite understand, mostly in regards to Sedetnet (however that's spelled, I listened to the audiobook) and his motivation and plans. I always found him to be an interestin ...more

This book was a significant improvement over book 2 but didn't quite live up to the impact of book 1, I think. It seemed to me like there was still a lot of exposition. That said, the author did go to a great deal to close up all the holes and tie up the loose ends and I appreciate that. I found myself wondering what their world will be like after they have had an opportunity to reintegrate, so my thoughts were willing to return even after the end of the series.

One of the best trilogies I've ever read
Morgan Locke is a character that stands beside the best. From Frodo (Lord of the Rings) to Roland (The Dark Tower). He overcomes adversity, remakes a nation, is surrounded by loyal and courageous companions, and is subjected to the worst and best in life. With all the magic, epic battles, heartbreak, joy, tears, and laughter anyone could wish for. ...more

This author can write.
That, and some world building saves what could have been hackneyed in anyone else's hands. It does have one novel idea: elves vs demons. It's worth the price. ...more

so, this "trilogy" is really an epic novel in 3 parts, though I get it, because I probably wouldn't've paid $15 for it all at once, but once I got into the story, it was totally worth it.
very inventive, very effective (says true things about people, which is what I want from fiction, and tells a story that couldn't be told any other way, which is what I want from good art)

I was feeling a bit emotional after finishing this, so it's been hard for me to decide how to review the final book in the Blood Ladders Trilogy. The start of this volume is filled with action, and there are plenty of surprises along the way, but the author is fond of denouement, so we get to see quite a bit of what happens after the big battle. Our beloved characters get to put their studies and experiences to use building a better world! It's a relatively sweet and gentle ending to what has, i

Book 3, Battle, aftermath and conclusion
Shocking opening finds our hero close to death with a human betrayal that echoes historically the humans betrayal of the elves during the great demon battle. As the demons are rising the loss of the Elvish Prince would be a disaster for the entire world. As the story progresses into a major battle, the folklore stories that have been scattered throughout the 3 volumes become clear and the true history of the King and his Red Prince is revealed. Morgan cont ...more

3.75 stars. One rarely wonders if perhaps too many of the loose ends were finished in a story, but I found myself believing that there were issues that could have been left to the reader's imagination. This book also continued the issues that the others in the series had-- too much time spent talking to each other with no action at moments when the plot called for swift decisions.

This series got more into miracles and angels than I expected. Which should prove to me that I should actually read the blurb first.
Also, I love Kel. Kel/Emily forever.
