Summary
The New York Times bestselling world of Osten Ard returns in the third Last King of Osten Ard novel, as threats to the kingdom loom....
The High Throne of Erkynland is tottering, its royal family divided and diminished. Queen Miriamele has been caught up in a brutal rebellion in the south and thought to have died in a fiery attack. Her grandson Morgan, heir to the throne, has been captured by one of Utuk'ku's soldiers in the ruins of an abandoned city. Miriamele's husband, King Simon, is overwhelmed by grief and hopelessness, unaware that many of these terrible things have been caused by Pasevalles, a murderous traitor inside Simon's own court at the Hayholt.
Meanwhile, a deadly army of Norns led by the ageless, vengeful Queen Utuk'ku, has swept into Erkynland and thrown down the fortress of Naglimund, slaughtering the inhabitants and digging up the ancient grave of Ruyan the Navigator. Utuk'ku plans to use the Navigator's fabled armor to call up the spirit of Hakatri, the evil Storm King's brother.
Even the Sithi, fairy-kin to the Norns, are helpless to stop Utuk'ku's triumph as her armies simultaneously march on the Hayholt and force their way into the forbidden ogre-guarded valley of Tanakirú - the Narrowdark—where a secret waits that might bring Simon's people and their Sithi allies salvation—or doom.

Each book in 'The Last King' series gets better!
I eagerly await the final installment of this series as the main characters mature and develop. Tad Williams' skill in interweaving so many different stories and characters into a whole is masterful. The first two books didn't appeal to me as much as the 'Memory, Sorrow and Thorn' series, but this book is up with the best of them. Unlike the earlier series, I found the switch from one perspective to another much easier to follow and Andrew Wincott's narration is always excellent.

A lengthy narrative with many threads
This epic, sprawling narrative with its Shakespearean themes of Monarchy, Love, Betrayal and Revenge continues, but fails to conclude, the latest story of Osten Ard.
Detailing at length the trials and tribulations of Simon, his Queen, their grandson and a long list of associated and subsidiary characters from all sides of a growing conflict encompassing the kingdoms of men and the older races, there are shocks and revelations aplenty, along with moments of high drama and deep tragedy,
The narrative is expertly brought to life in this audio reading and conjures up the vast array of characters distinctly.
A story that requires your attention to follow but rewards it greatly.
