Chosen King #3
Plague Of Tyrants
Two young kings now rule the Kingdom of the Thirteen, surrounded by enemies. Facing a threat unlike anything the world has ever seen, the two have discovered that their prized airships can't protect them against all dangers. One must leave to find the source of the new threat, while the other stays and faces enemies on all fronts. But even with the corrupt old rulers gone, their work is far from finished. Loyalties are tested and boundaries broken, as the kings try to establish who they can trust in the new world. With enemies both old and new, their Kingdom has never been more vulnerable. At the heart of it all stand the kings themselves. Neither asked to be king, but both have done their best. As they push themselves to new limits, they'll need to dig deeper than ever before to unite their people, defeat the enemies at their door, and remain true to themselves. But can they answer the call of destiny?

About the author
M.J. Sewall
16 books23 followersI am a lifelong writer in many genres.
My novels and non-fiction work share the theme of exploring dark, unexplored places. That sounds pretentious, I know.
Mostly I make up stories and write them down. There is a special sub-conscious alchemy that is happening, but don’t look at me; I have no idea how it works.
Whether it’s boys chosen to be king, giant monsters attacking, kids with seemingly magical powers or just an unraveling of deeply held assumptions, I write to explore.
My only rule: It must be a great story.

This is the third and final book of the Chosen King series and it takes place 6 months after the end of the 2nd book.
Without spoiling too much about the plot of book 2, things are sort of settling down in the Thirteen Kingdom and the majority of the citizens have accepted Gordon and Asa as their two teenage kings.
However, as one would expect, peace is ever elusive in this series, and the author cleverly manages to split the adventures of the book into two parts so as not to overburden the starring role of Gordon and Asa. While Gordon embarks on a diplomatic mission to a mysterious nation of social outcasts named the Outlands in order to discover the true reason behind the attack in his palace that injured Asa, his fellow co-king has to soothe an increasingly vociferous group of angered Thirteeners that wish to get rid of the teenager king system due to internal government problems that has weakened the country.
I like how the book manages to give the two kings an equal chance to shine and be strong in their own different ways, and while I personally think Cayne's character as an additional villain was weakened due to the fact that he was never introduced in book 2, the book continues to be entertaining with a satisfying ending. Overall, it was definitely a step up from book 2, and quite an entertaining kid friendly story.
PS: I do find it weird however that even though Aline knows how to make the bitter cakes that lower Gordon's blood sugar, the book forgets about this when he is running low on his medication.

Fast paced and original. Just like the first two. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey I was taken on with these characters. You always wish for a happy ending and in a way they got one but not without heartbreak. You can deduce what happened at the end for yourselves which makes the ending of this third book ok BUT, I can't help but hope there will be more to this journey because I don't feel like it has ended.
