Summary: A grim outing for Devlin
Comment: Devlin is betrayed by King Olafur and handed over to his chief enemy, the
mind-sorcerer who almost destroyed him in book 2 of this series. Olafur
thinks this will seal the alliance with Selvart that he has sought to secure
his borders and that Devlin's life and loyalty is a small price to pay.
However, Devlin himself has other ideas on the matter.
In some ways this book is an anti-climax. Much of the story is not told
from Devlin's point of view and as the land of Jorsk descends in to all out
war we are told a grim tale with almost no lighter moments to break it up.
In the end Devlin makes the best compromise possible out of a bad situation,
but at the same time many of Devlin's key emotional growth points never
really seem to be explained in a way that makes you feel more for him as a
character.
For the last book in a series in many ways this book seems to be a pause
rather than a stopping point for Devlin's story, and it would have been nice
to at least have seen him gain some happiness from all his sacrifice,
instead we are almost left hanging as much could still happen to him given
the state the Kingdom is in at the end of this book. The series almost
deserves a 4th book if it can lighten up a little.

Summary: Saving the best for last
Comment: I had mixed feelings picking up this book. I've enjoyed the first two in this series and was sad to know that it would be ending. But at the same time I was eager to find out how Devlin's story would turn out.
Devlin's Justice exceeded my expectations. It's darker that the first two books, as Devlin finally comes face to face with the unseen enemy who has been stalking him. He manages to defeat the prince, but that's only the first of the many challenges that he'll face. Ultimately Devlin will have to decide where his loyalties lie, and each of his friends will also have to choose between their sworn oaths and their friendship with the Chosen One.
Bray does a nice job of pulling all the threads from the first two books together as she builds to the ultimate climax, and Devlin's final showdown with those who betrayed him. All in all, it's a great read and a fitting successor to the first two books in this series.
Highly recommended.

Summary: Devlins Justice - Did the Author really do herself justice
Comment: I really enjoyed the first two books they had a lot of depth to them with well developed characters and a great stories that I really enjoyed. The third book while good does not hold a candle to the first two books.
I got the impression that the author rushed this book; there were many gaps, and incomplete scenes in this book compared to the first two book of the series. Do not get me wrong I liked the book but as one reads its like the story was rushed so that it would be published instead of the well crafted tales I enjoyed from the first two books of the series; In the end of the book I felt a little let down compared to the other two books.
The story does tie some ends up but it also left many areas that in the story that could have been developed more than they were. The Author got us into the first two books by givng us insight to a tormented character that changed every few chapters so that you come to realize that devlin is a very rich character, many of the characters are well developed and we are given insight to a man and how he can effect the destiny of a kingdom.
The third books starts off slow compared to the first two, and the events seem cut short and not as well developed as previous story's were laid out for us.
All in all I liked the book but was not brought into the story as I was with the previous two books, she does leave the book's ending with the possiblility that she may do another book to this series or maybe even do a whole series based on the 5 yrs that devlin's regency will take place; I only hope that she develops some of the events more than she did in this book I felt that the event of devlin freeing his country would have entailed more to it than him just saying to the council hey I will do this for you if you free my country.
