The scales have tipped. The battle for Namdhor, the north, and the entire realm of man was a sure victory for the orcs. But they lost. Now, under the rule of a would-be-king, the armies of man fuel the war when they should be bolstering their defenses. Only a few understand that time is against them, yet these few must fight alone if the dawn is to rise over Illian once more. The heroes of the realm have banded together, but they cannot fight side by side. There is only one way they can win, seen by the oldest dragon and preserved inside the broken mind of a ranger.

Akira - The Blundering Surrender Monkey
The saga begins to plod along in book 3 but the most glaring fault line in the story is how absolutely inept Akira is as a leader. First, he knowingly allowed a ruthless and brutal general to ride roughshod over his people, then he falls into a trap and is forced to surrender to Tanak. Then, through Tanak's death due to his own brand ineptitude, Akira becomes king of the two kingdoms.
Good enough so far but then after realizing that the Azirians would still overwhelm the 2 kingdom's combined forces he decides to surrender to Sen, lord of the 3rd kingdom, and through the kindness of Sen, he is handed over control of all 3 kingdoms.
He then launches a guerilla campaign against the divided Azirian clans to keep them in check but then decides to personally infiltrate a known enemy monk monastery with only a single soldier and against the sage advise of his advisor, Capt. Young, and as predictable as market bubbles, he gets caught and ... wait for it ... surrenders again!
While there are other story arcs playing out in this book, Ryuu, Moriko, Nameless, &c. they all pale when compared to Akira follies so, I'll leave it at that.

A book of inconsistencies and petty squabbles
I started optimistic with this book, but the story is far from well written.
The characters are inconsistent and unbelievable.
We have an “assassin” that’s changes personality every time i read about her.
The main issue is the King. He acts like a leader of a small town militia, and not a leader of kingdoms.
I know the book is about 3 kingdoms and an invasion. But based on the story development, its more like 3 small towns and a local dispute. The scale of the disputes and the plots are just wrong…. 6 people died when there should been 6 hundred or 6 thousand.
There are so many issues with the plot and story development in this book. It feels like a first draft, before the feed back.

Good but erratic flow at times.
Enjoyed series but in this book the author made several irrational plot twists that didn't support the flow of the story. Seemed forced at times as though character development was an afterthought. Having said that, I'd still recommend the series.

I love this series. Every part except the ending. For some they will love the ending as much as the rest of the books but no me. Killing off major characters is part of great writing but only when their death adds to the story. In this book I don’t feel the death added anything to the story, just took away from it but like I said, some of you will like how this one ends.

Invasion
The threat of invasion has now come to pass. Civil war has not helped the Three Kingdom's cause. Will the Three Kingdoms be able to defeat the Azarians and the Nameless?
Akira proves he is not just a ruler, but someone who really cares about his people and is willing to do what is right, even though his naivety puts his men in danger.
The end brings loss and and birth; a new beginning, a new future.
I have loved this trilogy and am sorry it has come to an end.

says a lot about life
The series as a whole says a lot about life and how all events lead to others it's almost poetic how the last book wraps itself up and has been a great expirence. The characters are enticing and relatable and each of them enveloped so much emotion that it made the almost real.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a tale that speaks volumes about life but is also an exciting intense ride that is fun to read and listen to.
