Commentary Supposing Books Shadow Over Kiriath (Legends of the Guardian-King #3)
After months of conflict and opposition, Abramm Kalladorne has finally stepped into his destiny as king of Kiriath--only to find himself facing more problems than ever. The Mataio remains antagonistic, the failed rebellion's supporters have slipped through his grasp to plot anew, bad luck plagues his every attempt to build Kiriath's defenses...and that's just the beginning. As the forces of the Black Moon advance toward Kiriathan shores, Abramm agrees to a desperately needed alliance-by-marriage with neighboring Chesedh. But with the hour for his union approaching, he is horrified to discover that he has become dangerously attracted to his fiancée's younger sister, the headstrong Lady Madeleine. Even worse, he learns that his attraction is reciprocated--just the sort of situation his enemies can use to destroy everything he's trying to accomplish. And Eidon just might let them succeed. Treachery and faithfulness, guilt and forgiveness, the joy of desires fulfilled and the pain of tragic loss all weave the tapestry of one man's destiny realized--where mind-boggling blessings come wrapped in a mantle of suffering that will test Abramm's faith to the limit and challenge everything he thinks he knows about himself and the one who owns his soul.Mention Books To Shadow Over Kiriath (Legends of the Guardian-King #3)

Another excellent book from Ms. Hancock. Her telling of each characters journey to Eidon is well told and suspenseful. She does it so well that with each scene you go into it wondering if this will be the time when the character forsakes it all and gives into evil. It is not a foregone conclusion that they will chose the right path and the reader sits there and prays that the character will.Ms. Hancock has skillfully crafted the scenes so that the reader knows exactly what the character isI'm still reading it, but know that it has at the very least a 4.5 rating because right now I want to kill it. I still have maybe a third or less of the book left, and I know it will be fixed by the end, but for me to be enough into it that I'm mad enough to want to kill it...that says something.Just thought I'd let y'all in on the update.:)Alright, yeah, it's going down to a 4.3 rating because the four years later thing seemed...a bit tacked on when I started reading it. And I know that the
One of my favorite books. I got so involved in reading this book and being a part of this world that I picked up and started saying thus like, "thank Eidon". I love the characters and the building if who they are with each fast moving book.
Slower Pace This story, unlike the first two is much more internal. With the exception of a few parts, I found the pacing very slow. I wanted more of the action that filled the first two books.
After taking a post book 2 hiatus of a few months from this series due to my uneasy feelings regarding its labeling as "christian fantasy" (see earlier reviews), I decided I was ready to read and enjoy it again sans hebegeebees. And while I was successful for the most part in putting my own prejudices aside, I would have given it five starts if not for the heavy religious influence, because it is truly a well written story. I did find that as oppose to the previous two books, this one felt a
Two books in one!Just when I thought things would go well for Abramm, another story jumped from the pages and heartache replaced joy. I can't even fathom what will happen next! A must read.
This book was as intriguing as the ones before it, and, if it is possible, I enjoyed it more. The plot and the characters are real and I felt as though I was truly there. This book is a must read in the Christian allegory section, but I do not recommend allowing anyone under fifteen to read it, due to the content of the book. It is rated adult, and it does have some content that would be inappropriate for anyone under that. Apart from that, the book is highly commendable.
