Review: A fantastic Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

I am not really sure if this is the last book in this series.  I hope not, as it feels like there is more story to tell, and the characters are a lot of fun.  With fantasy, so often you can feel like you are reading the same thing over and over again, particularly if you are one who devours books.  This series entertained, and presented a new twist on the whole fantasy novel premise.  The beginning of the series started as most of the series do, sort of formulaic, but managed to grab me very early on and keep my attention.  Many plot lines, twisted around sufficiently to make you want to see more, and with the final book, tying up a lot of the story lines neatly... but, as I said leaving room to tell more.  An author that can tie up a series and leave you wanting more is one that I will continue to follow.  I read a tremendous amount, and do not always take the time to review... but Mr. Manning and his Mageborn series deserve at least 5 minutes of my time to review a series which gave me quite a few hours of entertainment.  This is a series I will read again.
