review 1: Manning never fails to amaze me. His books honestly just get better and better! I can't wait to lay my hands on #4 in this series :DAside from being brilliantly written, and descriptive, the plot is amazing and beyond any normal persons imagination capacity! The amount of thought that I suspect went into the inner workings of magic and the history and plot of the books in general is definitely up there with David Eddings himself. He even gave Eddings a run for his money on the sarcastic, dry, witty humour.Honestly, my favourite part of the book, as dark as this sounds, was when Mort began to lose his min and started making terrible jokes (Like when Harold was running to hack up 20 or so Shiggreth) was extremely funny and I laughed out loud more than once. I also loved the... more last few pages, where it mentioned Moira's______*SPOILER______________Newborn baby :D And I loved the name choices! Moira and Matthew :) Mort is going to make an excellent dad! And I can;t wait to see Rose and Dorian (probably) get married. I really doubt the man has a choice, especially after Rose had to spend so much time thinking he was dead. I'm also really happy that Cyhan is becoming a knight for the greater good! I always liked him :)
review 2: I enjoyed this more than the second, some of the fun was back in the world, and though things were more dangerous and deadly for our hero there was also a lightening of things, after the great battle ending book 2.The power behind the king is very nicely done, although one does wonder at the convenience of mysterious wizards surviving as well as Mort. I suppose they spice things up considerably and "our" wizard still leads the pack on balls. And stupidity...I still like Manning's pricing structure and now I know there are more coming I'm waiting willingly for the next! less

This was the best of the three books. There were some good ideas in the three books involving characters and the plot but the writing style was riddled with many cliches and at times even the dialogue left much to be desired. The battle at the climax seems a bit contrived at some instances as well, yet the reader is left feeling a bit satisfied at how the book ends. All in all a good experience. I'll be waiting for Book #4.
