And The Kingfountain series by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler continues with this, the sixth installment.

I picked up the "Kingfountain" series a while back and stopped reading while waiting for one of the books to come out, book 4 I believe. When I was offered the chance to review the 6th book in the series, I went back and read the entire series to catch up. I was not disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Wheeler's "The Forsaken Throne". The world-building is captivating as always in his works and the character development never disappoints. I always crave for more after reading Wheeler's books, in a good way. I never want the book or series to end.

"The Forsaken Throne" was an excellent conclusion to the "Kingfountain" series (worry not fans, there is a prequel as well). Go out and get your hands on it ASAP.

A copy of the book was provided by the publisher in return for an honest review.

Great story by Jeff Wheeler. Really fabulous story, that kept me turning the pages!! A thrilling plot, and characters.

Received from Netgalley for honest read and review.

Finally got to finish this wonderful series,this is the 6th book in the Kingfountain,double trilogy,firstly about Owen the Trynne Kiskaddon.

Beautifully written with really engaging characters that have you rooting for them from the very beginning.This now makes me want to read the other series that have been written as I enjoyed the writing so much.

This was a really good ending to such a brilliant series.

4 stars

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great ending to a fun series. The action picks up shortly after the events in The Silent Shield. The Forbidden Court has been torched and Gahalatine blames Trynne. He accuses her of treachery and issues an ultimatum. Meanwhile, Kingfountain is threatened once again by Morwenna. She will stop at nothing to quench her thirst for revenge and the throne. It's up to Trynne and Fallon to save the people of their kingdoms, as well as their families.

The action is non-stop and the characters' abilities are tested in this satisfying ending to the trilogy. If you haven't read this series, I highly recommend you pick the books up now.

This final book did not leave up to the previous instalments in the series; it did still contain all of the things that made me initially fall in love with the world and the characters that inhabit it. The world-building and characters are still exemplary and Kate Rudd's narration still brings me great joy.

My issue with this finale is twofold; first is this crosses over with one of Wheeler's other series (which I haven't read) and I was overwhelmed with the breadth of information presented to which I had no background and was rushed through to keep pace with the story currently being explored. The second was the final wrap-up of the story, certain elements felt a little convenient and several threads were wrapped too quickly without enough time to appreciate their consequences.

I would still recommend this series to anyone interested but would suggest you take the time to read Wheeler's Muirwood series to understand the full scope of the worlds in the final journey.

When I decided to read this trilogy I was dubious about pushing Owen's character further, as I had loved the original three books, and hate when a trilogy is pushed further, hoping it was a story that needed to be told rather than a money making exercise. But then I read the first two books of this trilogy almost as the same book as I didn't put either of them down from beginning to end.

Although I was quite upset with the end of the second book, thinking that it was a quick ending for something that had been built up in two books, I was prepared to let it slide as I was looking forward to seeing what would happen to Trynne and Gahalatine.

But that is exactly where this book let me down. Rather than expand on this and enjoy the story that has been built up in the previous books, the story seemed to do a complete u-turn to a far off land which completely threw the original story and characters. And not for the better. I didn't like some of the supporting characters like King Drew when they were forced in to this new circumstances, and suddenly people I had read about and rooted for previously I was suddenly wondering where their loyalty and morals had gone.

In all I was disappointed by this end, and wish that I had finished at the end of the second book, as although the ending wasn't what I wanted, at least at this point I still liked most of the characters and actually cared what happened next.

Fantastic conclusion to the series! I look forward to what Mr. Wheeler has coming for us in the future!

The Forsaken Throne is the 6th (final?) book in Jeff Wheeler's Kingfountain series. The series is an epic multi-book fantasy with some crossworld tie-ins from the author's other series. There are several interconnected storylines, most of which are tied up in this, possibly final, installment.

I enjoyed reading this one a lot and seeing how the storyline would unfold and resolve, though, as other reviewers have mentioned, the pain that the heroine Trynne suffered seemed unending. Lady of Sorrows, indeed. Building a rapport with characters only to see them pushed and broken and betrayed over and over again felt wearying to me and I often took a pause for a few days. This was not a read-in-one-sitting book for me. I liked it very much that she was emphatically not a pampered soft and pliable princess. She is honorable and, frankly, pretty badass.

By my rough reckoning, the main series includes well over 2000 pages; that's a lot of room to develop a world and characters. The plotlines are in my opinion, certainly worthy of the epic scale of the books. I never had problems keeping the characters straight in my head, though I wouldn't suggest this book as a standalone, especially to people who aren't die-hard epic fantasy fans.

Though I would certainly class this series as comfortably inside the fantasy genre, it's not the same sort of gritty massively epic fantasy of G.R.R. Martin or Joe Abercrombie, full of pitched battles and people disemboweling one another. Never fear though, there's lots of evil magic vs. good magic, betrayal, sacrifice and dishonesty. I liked the ending a lot, without spoiling anything.

Four stars for this installment and four for the series as a whole. I'll be picking up his other books.

Have greatly enjoyed the series and this book was not an exception to that. I did feel that the ending was a little rushed, and though it would have lengthened the book, could have been fleshed out more. Would have liked to see more interplay with the Morwenna, she is after all the main villain.

“One cannot destroy evil, little sister. It can only be bound for a season. It plants its seeds the moment we stop fighting against it.”
(from The Forsaken Throne)


The Forsaken Throne is the thrilling conclusion to Jeff Wheeler’s sixth (and final?) book in the Kingfountain series.

After a raging fire has reduced the Forbidden Court to ashes – what was supposed to be the side of Tryneowy “Trynne” Kiskaddon’s coronation as empress – there is more at risk than ever. Meanwhile, Morwenna is plotting her revenge against Trynne, vowing to take away everything she holds dear – her family, her home, and her reputation – for the death of her father, Duke Severn. Trynne must keep her wits and rely on the will of the Fountain and her magic if she is to protect everything and everyone she loves.

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t quite like this book as much as the others. I think I was a little off-put by the middle third of the book, which took place in Muirwood (no spoilers here). I have never read Wheeler’s Muirwood series, so I didn’t get the references to the characters and actions of those books which, though weren’t super important to the overall plot of The Forsaken Throne, I felt like I was still missing a lot.

I also didn’t like how disconnected this book felt overall from the previous five books. I felt that the conclusion at the end of The Silent Shield, though not satisfactory, gave little room for expansion into a full sixth book, which is probably while the middle was spent in Muirwood – it felt more like filler than plot, and I wasn’t a fan.

However, I did enjoy the book overall. The ending, though maybe a little predictable, still held surprises and was a great conclusion to this epic series.

Thank you to NetGalley and 47North for a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved the kingfountian series since book one and was very excited to get the chance to read the conclusion I advance! This series about Owen kiskaddon and then his daughter Trynne Kiskaddon is one of the fullest and most vivid worlds I've fallen into. A book that is acceptable for all ages and is able to keep the attention of all ages its truly a great story. I recently found that there will be at least one more prequal to go with the story and I couldn't be more thrilled to be able to step into this world at least once more!

This book was enjoyable, but it is not my favorite. I felt like Mr. Wheeler was more interested in tying the Kingfountain series up in a tidy bow, rather than fully exploring the world that he had opened to us. I was looking forward to a nice, descriptive journey through the Deep Fathoms; to learning more about Chandigarl and seeing how Trynne and Galahatine's marriage progressed, after he had worked so hard to win her hand, and she had denied her heart to consent. While it was lovely to see another romance bloom, it was not the romance that originally intrigued me.
It is a good novel. It is a pleasant afternoon read with a cup of cream tea, but it wasn't all for which I had hoped. I give this one 3.5 out of 5.

For me this is kind of a tricky review. I was disappointed in this book, to be honest, and I am very sorry that I was because I really wanted to love it.

By no means is this a bad book, however, I didn't like the plot twists and really the overall plotting of the book.

I loved most of the Kingfountain books and recommend reading all of them, even this book. But, like I said above, this book was a little bit of a let down to me.

The Forsaken Throne is number six in the king fountain series and does not fail to deliver. Jeff yet again puts his characters through hell, but you cannot put the book down until the end. After reading all the other books, you become heavily invested in each character and feel their highs and lows throughout. Trynne is the most likeable character, who has grown over the previous books, into a fierce Oath Maiden. She has married Gahaltine in exchange for his loyalty to King Drew, but his wizars ulterior motives which causes a war to erupt. King Severn's daughter, Morwenna is at the heart of all things evil and will never be happy until she's destroyed Trynne in every way possible. Owen is still missing, Sinnia has not been heard from since she left for the deep fathoms and Trynne is not sure she can trust Fallon. What plays out in the book is well written and concise. Without giving away any spoilers, the ending of the book was extremely satisfying but bittersweet and Jeff wraps up in a way which will not disappoint.

I was given this book free from Netgalley for an honest review.

Having been a big fan of the entire series, since book 1 I have been completely absorbed into the KingFountain world, I particularly enjoyed the characters and elements the author introduced from his other series into this series. The characters continue to grow realistically as the story rockets along nicely and you are left at the end of the book satisfied and smiling over the conclusion, yet you are left with the sense of wanting more! I would certainly recommend this series and this book is just as strong as the previous in the series. I just want to thank Jeff Wheeler for writing a wonderful series of books.

I enjoyed this book. I have read a little bit from these worlds before, but was not up to speed on this series. I thought this book was very good stand alone. The characters are presented in ways that display their traits and lets you get to understand them. The authors prose and style worked well, everything seemed to flow well throughout the story. The plot itself was complex in terms of details and probably tied together many things I didn't fully understand due to having not read the full series, but I still felt readers could grasp most of it from just this book. The ending seemed to be a satisfying one for an end to a series. I think the main character/heroine was relatable in some ways that many books fail to achieve. She was not simply a hero, but a human with flaws and thoughts that showed a normal lack of confidence at times, as well as many other emotions. The character development of the book was very good. The world was well explained for a novel late in a series. This book is appropriate for young adult readers and perhaps even younger, but I think it is probably a little dry to keep the interest of young adult readers. Not that there isn't action in the book, just that it seems to be more emotionally mature to the point, younger kids won't enjoy it as much, but adults will enjoy it all the more. I am giving this book 4 stars, but being I haven't read the whole series am guessing I could even go 4.5 stars if I had.
Thank you for the approval.

The Forsaken Throne is book 6 in the Kingfountain series and if you have been reading my blog for a year you might have seen I have written reviews on a few books from this series already.

I have loved every previous books in this series and I loved this book just as much. The story is very well written and I loved the world building.

This is a fantasy book and even if you don't usually read this genre you might enjoy it.

I give this 4 out of 5.

The Forsaken Throne by Jeff Wheeler is now available online and in bookstores near you.

Releases tomorrow: November 14, 2017!!

I actually read this a couple weeks ago and never posted the review because I’ve been so busy with work. I’ve read all six of Wheeler’s Kingfountain books this year and honestly, not a single one disappointed. I’m not sure if this is the last intended Kingfountain book, but I really hope it’s not!

This is the conclusion to Trynne’s story and it was full of highs and lows. Nothing is ever as it seems and I was kept on my toes by every turn of events. At many points in this story I was left wondering: “How the heck will Trynne get out of this?” Luckily, though it seems all of Kingfountain is against her, she has a few friends to help her out.

The writing is beautiful and concise. Wheeler doesn’t waste words or pages. He gives you exactly what is needed. I have an emotional investment in almost all of these characters and that is the true gift in his writing, he really knows how to make you care. None of them are perfect. They are layered and complex and make hard decisions that don’t always pan out the way you might want or expect them too.

The action is paced well and balanced with the slower parts where Trynne is traveling. Did I mention she dual wields swords? She dual wields swords. Seriously, I have yet to find another character as awesome as Trynne.

This is not a standalone, so if you have not yet read The Queen’s Poisoner start with that. It has a different feel to it then the books that come later because the hero is an 8 year old boy, but I promise there is never a dull moment and it remains my favorite in the series. I cannot recommend this series enough to other fantasy lovers.

Thank you to NetGalley and 47North for providing an eARC for me to review.

This is the final book in the Kingsfountain series by Jeff Wheeler and it wraps up the series with satisfying results for all the characters in the book. (Well, almost all...)
