Rating: Summary: Is it over already? Review: There is one thing that you will not like about this book. It will have you wanting MORE at the end. I do not mean that the story is lacking by any means, though. I mean that you will want to know what happens next to the characters and hear more of their stories. This is actually two books in one. Half of it takes place in Tobyn Ser revolving around Jaryd and the other half in Lon Ser revolving around Meylor. I found it very amazing how Coe seemed to change the characters (there is a ten year period between the happenings in the first book and the third) while keeping them the same. Coe's ability to tell a story is one of the best. You will not get bored or recieve any filler all the while being on they edge of your seat. I had trouble putting this book down and though it is not so in depth as many other fantasy series, it is fun if nothing else. Definately read this series.
Rating: Summary: Amazing new trilogy, a thrill ride. Review: This is a great read! For people who like fantastic fiction with wizards and villains, it is a must. Each of the three novels is excellent and satisfactory. The Eagle-sage is the final volume and does not loose a beat. The narrative tension or line from book one to the third volume conclusion is great. I read all three at once and find it hard to imagine having to wait a year or more inbetween volumes. Buy all three and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Worst Ending ever Review: This is by far one of the WORST endings I have ever read. The first book may have been good, but Coe failed to expand on any of the magic systems, characters, or subplots that had potential to make this book interesting. The magic system was vague (which is fine for a first novel, but by the conclusion I want some explanation) and unimaginative, as were many of the characters. The book's outcome was extaordinarily predictable. If you have liked this series so far, don't destroy your image with this book.

Rating: Summary: a grand conclusion for a classic epic Review: yes I read others writing that they found it shallow or unrealistic unreasonable etc...but for me I found it thrilling exciting and nail biting. I switches back to Jarad as a focal character and his bonding with an eagle which portends war. Along with another mage from a rival league. Civil war breaks out as an evil ghost takes over the power stone of the mages. In the end a curse is broken that binds the dead mages to this realm. I love the combination of technology and magecraft. High tech verses an agrigarian society. I see the writers soap box platform on saving our old growth forest. I live in the pacific north west and have experienced it a lot and agree. I look forward to his next book. I find him a fascinating writer with thoughtful insight and three deminsional characters. A real flare for style.
