Don't let the 2 star rating fool you because the majority of this book it was a 1 star book and I literally had to force myself to keep reading.
Third book in the Saga of the First King series following the adventures of The Highwayman.
This book continues the petty little squabbles of local wannabe kings within the kingdom. It all just felt so petty and meaningless. I honestly could not care less who won and who lost. The characters should have been the high point and they were all so interchangeable I kept having to refer back to earlier chapters to distinguish them from each other.
The portions of the book dedicated to The Highwayman were actually pretty good but just like the last book those portions were few and far between (which I find odd in a main characters).
One book to go in this series and I'm hoping it's as good as Book #1 and not as poor as Book #2 & #3.
This one left me disappointed.

I'm enjoying Branson's character development. Hard to track all of the political stuff and their wars. Just a lot of names of people and places.
I also took my sweet time reading this so that didn't help me in my character confusion.

The first 200 pages were a bit slow; Bransen's mastery of the gemstones was abrupt; and the ending was a cliffhanger.
