Appraisal:
Kingsteel
is the conclusion to Michael Meyerhofer’s The
Dragonkin Trilogy. I was
hopeful going into it, but a little leery because I’ve been
disappointed in the past with trilogies.
Well, that
is NOT the case with Kingsteel.
The world
Meyerhofer created is vast and filled with many different compelling
characters and creatures. Meyerhofer gives each of them their due,
showing their strengths and weaknesses as they battle to rid the
world of the Dragonkin. They run into some of the worst people and at
times seem as though they may not make it – and not all of them do.
What was
important was that it wasn’t just Rowen Locke who could save the
world – though he’s made to think he has to lead them. Yet, it’s
teamwork and trust from an unlikely group of friends that winds up
prevailing in the end.
Kingsteel
offers a satisfying conclusion to this story, but hopefully not the
ending to this great world.
FYI:
Kingsteel
is the third book in a trilogy and should not be read without
checking out the first two books.
