Summary

One enemy has fallen. A greater one remains. It's war....

The Red Knight withstood the full might of his enemy and won the day. In a victory which will be remembered through the ages, he brought disparate factions together and turned them into allies against a more powerful foe than they had ever seen.

Now he will need his allies more than ever. Because behind one adversary hid another - one with allies of their own - whose goal was never to destroy Alba but to distract the Kingdom while achieving his true aim. And whatever it is, it's probably not in the Red Knight's interest.

With one army defeated, now the Red Knight must fight again...and for every one of his allies there is a corresponding enemy.

Spread out in different lands and on sea, it will all come down to one last gamble. And to whether or not the Red Knight has guessed their foe's true intentions. With each throw of the dice, everything could be lost.

Not as good as previous books in series

Some bits are still very good but it didn't have the same life as the other books

High fantasy at its very best!

The epic 4th part of the Red Knight saga. Miles Cameron has created a labyrinthine tale of twists and turns and sub plots of knightly derring do. The characters are lovingly crafted and reliably flawed and human. Waiting eagerly for Part 5.

hard going

I enjoyed the first two in the series but found this one quite hard to get involved with and I don't think I care enough anymore to bother with the 4th - difficult to pinpoint where it's gone wrong for me as it has all the right elements and the writing is generally good - hey ho

Not up to the standard of previous books

Narrator's performance not as jarring as when first changed, but the story didn't engage

Poor narrator

Although the narrator has a pleasant voice he fails to characterise Bad Tom as Scottish, which is the obvious intent, and somehow uses a bad Welsh accent instead. Also various regular mispronunciations and changes in pronunciation as the story plays out.

badass

This book was badass, as are the rest in the series . The magic system is great and the battle detail is staggering compared to others in this genre.

Good continuation of the Red knight story.

in the main a good continuation of the Red knights tale. there are some boring sections but all together it's a good story with pace and the usual mix of fantasy and history. it doea end in a bit if an odd place.
