Where Heroes Were Born by Tom Dumbrell
5.0
A fantastic finale to a strong fantasy series. Set ten years after the events of the previous novels, Where Heroes Were Born shifts focus to Fran, the sister of King Cyrus and now shield to Queen Mathilde, and her attempts to cross the sea to find a match for the queen. The other main narrative strand focuses on Locke - the "useless" son of a Lord who is placed as a prison keep in the castle to watch other a dangerous inmate.
I thought this was a really fun, sharply observed and fast-paced adventure from the word go. There are beautiful locations, great characters and a lot of swashbuckling adventure - the series is almost historical in feel rather than fantasy (though there are fantasy elements) and I loved that.
I would highly recommend this series to anyone who appreciates a good fantasy adventure, especially one with strong characters and a lot of a action. I'm sad to see these characters go!
