Alliance by Annabelle Jacobs
4.0
A fitting and tension filled ending
Annabelle Jacobs wraps up this excellent high fantasy trilogy with a final book which is action packed and plot heavy.
Things move so rapidly from one beat to the next that it's like being taken on a blindfolded horseback ride with only a sure hand on the reins to keep on track.
Both Ryneq and Nykin have their own journey to undertake and the pressure on each of them is immense.
There are some sad losses along the way too and my heart was in my mouth for so much of this book.
No spoilers, but I felt the ultimate outcome had a good grounding in what had gone on before, no sudden deus ex machina to save the day.
I think there was scope for perhaps a bit more after the ultimate challenge and I still have a few questions left outstanding, but no quibbles about the main arc being nicely tied up.
