DEATH IS NEAR, ARMIES ARE GATHERED, AND THE FUTURE RESTS ON A KNIFE-EDGE The Annurian Empire is losing a war on two fronts - and it's unclear who is in command. Adare is stationed in the thick of battle and now calls herself Emperor. However, she can't hold back the nomadic Urgul forces for much longer. She needs her brilliant general, Ran il Tornja, but will he betray her again? Her brother Kaden is the true heir, yet he'll accept a Republic to save his divided people. And he faces something even more terrible than war. He's unmasked Ran il Tornja as a remnant of an ancient race who attempted to destroy mankind. The general plans to finish what they started, and is amassing all the power he needs. The empire calls on the Kettral, its toughest soldiers, but their order has been decimated. Its last fighters are in disarray, but could they still turn the tide of war? Most disturbingly of all, capricious gods walk the earth in human guise. And their desires could seal the fate of a world.

A great wrap-up to the series, but also probably the worst of the three novels. That isn't saying much as I have loved this entire series, so take the word "worst" very lightly. I found a couple of the plot decisions a bit dumb, predictable, or flat-out contradictory to an established character. There was one in particular concerning Adare that felt both forced and I saw it coming from miles away, although I'll avoid spoiling anything, so I won't be able to explain it. This can all be ignored for the fact that this installment still dishes out loads of action, dark characters, beautiful prose and an overall driving, never-boring plot like the last two novels. Highlights for me out of The Last Mortal Bond were my personal favorite incarnation of Valyn, a fantastic arc that develops Gwenna quite a bit, and a very interesting look at Rassambur.
