With the evil AFO on the search for Goliath's sword--a sword that has cursed a line for generations and that the AFO wants to turn back on David's seed--Cole Russel is sent in bring down the Order from the inside. However, it gets all the more complicated as the Order is holding Tzivia and Ram Khalon's father over them, as a way to force Tzivia into helping retrieve the sword. Will the team be able to bring down the AFO once and for all?This just might be the best of the trilogy, and I was really glad I went back and read the other books again before delving into this one--it would be easy to get lost otherwise, with all the characters and complex relationships. Because it has such broad cast, there were things that felt a little neglected in the end (would have loved more on Runt and his acceptance into Wraith, more on Mercy, maybe even a bit on President Galen, who featured more prominently in the earlier books).
There definitely were a lot of surprises in this book--not only about Ram's history, but about a bunch of other characters one thought one knew (but cannot be named for spoilers). And not just backstory stuff--things happen that I really didn't think would happen to our cast of well-beloved characters. The story is more powerful for it, but . . . but . . .
The A-Team aspects are fun, the Mission Impossible parts exciting, the Indiana Jones bits fascinating. Overall a highly enjoyable conclusion to the series!
Thank you Bethany House and NetGalley for the complimentary e-book. I was not required to write a positive review, and all opinions are my own.
