The riveting conclusion to the Wolf of the North trilogy.

Little finality. Delightful story overall.

This is a wonderful story. No question about it. I enjoyed following the characters throughout this tale, engrossed in the story told by the Meister Spaeker. But ... up until the final five minutes, it did not feel like an ending. And even then, there are too many loose ends for me. Subplots left unaddressed. Incomplete.

The author rushed from an ongoing narrative into an ending, skipping ahead in time in a very forced, inorganic fashion. As though he would have rather given us an epic of five (or more) novels - Riyria style - but felt compelled to finish a trilogy. This was disappointing. There was so much mor to write of these characters that I was eager to read.

For what it was, the story is very well told. I enjoyed the narrative device employee throughout the trilogy, like a listener around the campfire with only a touch more insight than the other listeners. This was fun. Like the Society of Swords, I was entertained, though not challenged. And sometimes that is just what I am looking for.

Worth It

The first series I read by Duncan Hamilton was the Society of The Sword series. This series takes place in the same world, making reference to the same things as the Society series. They tie together nicely. And Simon Vance is superb!

Great Trilogy... Loved it!!!

This was the ending to a great trilogy. While I wish the ending was different, the story was still very, very good.

A wonderful telling of an amazing story

From the first word until the last, this story grips you and doesn't let go. Love, hate, heartbreak, and vengeance make this series a truly memorable Saga.

very good

LOVED IT!!! A NEW FAVORITE. LOVED IT. WISH THERE WAS A FOURTH BOOK IN SERIES

A Classic Tale

I am an old soppy romantic that loves all things about epic tales. This one fits the bill. This is a beautiful Story Fit for telling in any reputable mead hall where heros congregate.

Absolutely fantastic

I love and recommend everything about these novels. It’s been a long time since a series has captured my heart and imagination like this one has. So sad that it’s ended! I was kept in suspense and anticipation, found myself rooting for the protagonists and booing the antagonist. I will definitely be looking into other books written by this author!

Excellant !!

Too many fantasy writers write open ended epics, this gladly is not the case here. From boyhood in the first book to the end of this one it follows The Heroes Journey in a most satisfying manner.

Wonderful ending. Never a boring chapter.

A chapter on to the first book, I immediately put the 2nd one in my cart in anticipation for my next credit. When I finished the 2nd, I was disappointed when the 3rd wasn’t available in audiobook yet so I had to wait a couple of months so when it became available, I was very happy. Just finished the book today and I thought the ending was carefully thought of and ensured it got straight to the point without too much drag. I was secretly hoping for a happy ending between the main characters but I’m not the writer. The performance was great as well. Even with some accents, I could understand everything said and followed the story clearly.

A Must Read (or Listen)

Fantastic series. Any fans of the fantasy genre should move the Wolf of the North to the top of their list. This final selection in the series is non-stop and an excellent conclusion to the saga. Simon Vance really brings the characters to life throughout. Give it a chance, you’ll be glad you did.
