Review: A Great Resolution to the Series but with More to Come
Rating: 4 out of 5

There were several resolutions to the problems or situations presented in the 2 previous books in the series where Balislanka belongs. As usual, John Blackport did a good job in portraying the thoughts and fears of hero Rick Rivoire. I like it that the battles are not as tedious as in the first two books. Also, there is some sort of closure in the evil of Grumach when the place called Balislanka was desecrated by Olga, the necromancer Lucan finally died, and the Talan revolution is really now set into gear.As regards to love life, Rick does not experience love still in this book. He has Anya who sort of loves him but he just can't love her back. Now, there's the military lady who was just looking for a few hours of fun and won't even allow him to sleep with her until morning for fear of discovery. I still wish he would find someone to really love in the future, not like Shoshanna who he really adores but does not love him in return.Overall, the book was fantastic. I believe that Blackport should do the rest of the series similar to Balislanka - with less visuals on the never-ending battles and more exciting events that are resolved in one way or another.For a more detailed review, please read my post at [...]Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.
