It is difficult to review sequels without focusing on plot, so I typically avoid it, but in this case I wanted to make an exception. The second book ([b:Spellbound|10822283|Spellbound (Grimnoir Chronicles, #2)|Larry Correia|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1313446621s/10822283.jpg|15736027]) expanded the magical system and fantasy elements to a level I believe I described as "batshit crazy", but kept a decent pace and character focus which pulled me through. This third volume actually completely pays off. The magical system is brought into focus and resolves several loose ends from the previous books. The issue of over-powered characters is addressed in a direct fashion and with resonance to the primary plot and character arcs. It is rare that a series will expand its scope to this degree and still be able to find a meaningful resolution for each character and plot. I was impressed and would definitely consider reading more from [a:Larry Correia|1136158|Larry Correia|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1323587082p2/1136158.jpg].

If you liked the first two, you'll like this. It's a solid end to the trilogy, which makes me a little sad since I wouldn't mind seeing more stories set in this world.

Me encanta. Le pongo la cuarta estrellita por la inmensa sonrisa y la sensación de dinero bien gastado que me ha dejado la trilogía en conjunto. Sospecho que esta trilogía va pasar a formar parte de las sagas que visito cada año.

It's a decent enough fantasy book with a fairly explosive ending. I can see why it has its fans.

What a great ending to this trilogy! Everyone in this series plays a part and has their shining moments. The action scenes are so much fun to listen too. There are some fist-pumping, satisfying outcomes ... and one powerful heart-wrenching/tear-jerking moment in here.

I'm super excited that there are more books coming in the future, set in this world. The Power is such a unique spin on magic ... and I'm looking forward to learning more about this world and the characters that live in it.

Pretty good end of the series.

This is the third and, I believe, the last installment in the Grimnoir Chronicles by Larry Correia. I have enjoyed all of the books although I still have a preference for his Monster Hunter International series over this one.

The books in this series are all a mix of magic and alternate reality. The first book in this series was quite overwhelming in that sense as far as I am concerned. I am not a great fan of alternate reality stories but the book was still well written in the usual style of Larry Correia which means the characters was interesting and the action, whether it involved magic or conventional weaponry, was well done and plentiful. This book continues in the same style and takes of pretty much where the last one left off.

The book focuses mostly on Sullivan and his quest to stop the “Pathfinder” in getting the predator to Earth and on Faye from the previous book in her quest to not become the monster everyone seems to expect her to become. Not surprisingly Faye’s quest eventually becomes the same as Sullivan’s. Toru the former Iron Guard also has a prominent role in the book and his verbal clashing with Sullivan, and everyone else around him for that matter, was mostly quite entertaining.

As I said, most of the book focuses on this quest to stop the predator. However, there are also parts of the book that revolves around the American president and his political nonsense scheming to round up all the actives to keep them under control. I was not too thrilled over these parts of the book. Partly because I do not like dumbass politics in the first place and partly because rounding up the actives/mutants/different ones/whatever are a rather overused plot element by now and it is just as boring every time. Luckily this part of the story not very large and were easily overshadowed by the quests of Sullivan and Faye.

I get the feeling that this was the end of the book series and as such I personally have to say that the conclusion was satisfactory. I would have enjoyed seeing the dumbass president get a bit more of an ass whopping but still, it was a satisfactory ending. In all, I enjoyed the book. It was another well written book from Larry Correia and if you liked the previous installments then you will probably like this one.

A satisfying end to the series. Loose ends are tied.

9 out of 10 stars

Great wrap up to the story. I look forward to reading more books by Larry Correia.

A great ending to the trilogy (I'm assuming it's the last one). Fun characters, great action, and a coherent (and interesting) story.
