The Forsaken Throne by Jeff Wheeler
The Forsaken Throne is book 6 in the Kingfountain series by Jeff Wheeler. The books all combine magic and adventure, complex characters, and re-imaginings of British history and myth.
I've enjoyed each and every book in the series and was especially happy in this concluding installment to find one of the issues that bothered me at the end of the previous book has been resolved to my satisfaction.
The Forsaken Throne also makes connections to the Muirwood and Mirrowen series that prove interesting. I read and enjoyed the first two books in the Mirrowen series several years ago.
Jeff Wheeler's world-building and character development in this series had me devouring each new entry like Halloween candy.
Read in September; blog review scheduled for Nov. 1
