Tyrant's Throne by Sebastien de Castell
5.0
What a wonderful conclusion to this series. Somewhere in the middle I was a little tired by all the twists and turns, in fact breaking right along with Falcio. I was 70% through the book when the tears began to flow, because I realised he was truly going to be broken for good. It wasn't the first time I thought, just abandon this country. It's truly so rotten, it can't be saved. But this isn't a book about bleak realism. It's about preposterous heroics and that's why I enjoy it so much. The impossible odds, the valour and above all the friendly banter.
When I read the first book, I said it gave me everything the Three Musketeers gave me: Action, drama, daring escapes and humour and the ending didn't disappoint. I even cried again, but this time for joy and relief. I won't stop recommending this saga to everyone I know.
As an aside: Normally, I do have a favourite character, but you couldn't possibly make me choose between Falcio, Kest, and Brasti. They're all annoying at some point, but then so endearing again. They just belong to each other, so they're all my favourites. <3
