King's War (The Kinsman Chronicles) Paperback – June 19, 2018

One battle is over, but the war has just begun. They escaped the Five Realms and have found a home, but peace is much harder to find. The aftermath of the Battle of Sarikar should have been a time to mourn those lost in the slaughter. The enemies of Armania are many, however, and when one steps back to regroup, another surges forward in attack.

While the remnant must take responsibility for the evil they brought to Er'Rets, it would seem that something just as dark already existed in this new world. The growing struggle between Armania and Barthel Rogedoth is but a pale reflection of a far more dangerous battle for the souls of humanity.

And so begins this awe-inspiring conclusion to Jill Williamson's Kinsman Chronicles. The Hadar family and their allies prepare to make one final stand in the name of Arman. There shall be war--in Er'Rets and in the Veil--to vanquish evil or be ruled by darkness.

From the Back Cover

Will the Gifts of Arman Be Enough to Defeat the Armies Gathering against His Name?

One battle is over, but the war has just begun. The Kinsman remnant escaped the Five Realms and have found a home, but peace is much harder to find. The aftermath of the Battle of Sarikar should have been a time to mourn those lost in the slaughter. The enemies of Armania are many, however, and when one steps back to regroup, another surges forward in attack.

While the remnant must take responsibility for the evil they brought to Er'Rets, it would seem that something just as dark already existed in this new world. The growing struggle between Armania and Barthel Rogedoth is but a pale reflection of a far more dangerous battle for the souls of humanity.

The Hadar family and their allies prepare to make one final stand in the name of Arman. There shall be war--in Er'Rets and in the Veil--to vanquish evil or be ruled by darkness. And so begins this rousing and epic conclusion to Jill Williamson's The Kinsman Chronicles.

This third volume collects parts seven through nine of The Kinsman Chronicles originally released as ebooks.
Part 7--The Reluctant King
Part 8--A Deliverer Comes
Part 9--Warriors of the Veil

"The incredible Kinsman Chronicles comes to a breathtaking end with this action-packed, emotionally compelling volume, as Williamson uses every line to keep the story moving forward with a wide cast of characters, political intrigue and personal conflict that will keep readers captivated until the very end. Fans of classic fantasy as well as those looking for a clean saga on the epic scale of A Song of Ice and Fire and The Shannara Chronicles will not be disappointed in this finale, which is as inspiring as it is entertaining."--RT Book Reviews Top Pick

"The book contains endearing and flawed characters and inspiring portrayals of obedience to God despite the odds."--World Magazine

"Williamson produces another well-written volume with complex characters and plot twists." --Christian Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series! Hated to see it end.
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018

This is the third and final book in the Kinsman Chronicles. This series has an amazing storyworld, realistic and relatable characters, and tons of action with some plot twists. I held myself back from devouring this final book as I wanted to savor every word and keep it from ending for as long as possible. It was everything I was expecting. I bought a copy for myself, another for my older daughter, and yet another for my church library. I must have been overly anxious to make sure I pre-ordered it because I somehow ended up with a fourth copy! Yeah, it's that good.

If you've read the rest of the series, definitely don't miss this one. And if you haven't read the series and you love fantasy, then do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in this world!

4.0 out of 5 stars Epic Conclusion to a Great Series

Jill Williamson is one of my favorite fantasy authors, and I'm so excited that the final book in the Kinsman Chronicles is finally out! I enjoyed seeing all the characters again, and finding out how their story ends. It was an epic conclusion to a great series!

There is definitely a lot going on in this book which can be overwhelming at times. There were still several minor characters who I didn't know, but I was okay with that because they weren't essential to the story. But the characters that did matter were well developed, and I enjoyed seeing the struggles they went through. Many of them had to fight their insecurities and doubts, and there was enough time in the book for them to fail and redeem themselves which I liked.

I also enjoyed the conflict that occurred between several of the characters. Although they are very likeable characters, none of them are perfect, and they have to live with the consequences of their actions. But the characters consider their options before making decisions, but know that they will mess up. In all, all the characters are very human which I appreciated.

Overall, this is a fantastic series that I would recommend to anyone who likes epic fantasy, believable characters, and an engaging plot. I am sad that I have to leave this world and these characters after spending so long with them, but I look forward to more of Jill's books. I know that they will be full of action and be a story that will stay with me for a long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Finale to an Epic Fantasy Series
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018
All of the elements that drew me to the first two books in the Kinsman Chronicles—world-building, characters, the intricate plot that weaves everything together—continued throughout King’s War. The land of Er’Rets continues to take shape as the various nations and kingdoms begin to establish their rule and build on the land. The belief systems, the cultures, and the forms of government continue to carry these characters from one politic skirmish to another.

I will admit , at first, I felt like the book was a bit overrun with too much politics and discussion and not enough action. But at the same I appreciated that this book revealed how important that side of things, especially in relation to life, is important. Politics hold together our way of life, and it helped the characters grow and mature as they took on new leadership roles.

My favorite part of this series was seeing how all the characters changed over the course of the trilogy. It was intriguing to see Trevn go from a young boy studying maps and books and being chased through the streets of Armania to becoming a husband, a leader, and even a warrior. There were even characters, such as Charlon, that I detested in previous books and found myself rooting for in this installment. With the plethora of characters in this series, there was no end to the growth and change all the characters went through.

In addition, the latter half of the book gets quite exciting as the story builds and the action begins. There is war, there is magic, there is even romance. This book pretty much as it all. Most importantly, this book has hope. I’m a big believer that fiction, especially fantasy, helps us come to terms with events in our own lives and our world. We learn from books how to cope and deal with tragedy or loss, darkness and grief. And this book definitely reflects different ways we can deal with what life brings at us. Above all, this book shows that despite the darkness, despite the hardships and the hopelessness, there is hope.

That was Jill Willamson’s goal with this story: “to show that no matter what darkness people might themselves living in, those who rely on their creator will find their way back into the light.” So yes, this book does have a Christian message woven throughout the story, but it is not preachy or cliche. It does not sway you to become a believer. In some ways, it’s not even a religious story at all. But it’s just a fantasy story where characters turn to a single god instead of a plethora of gods.

If you like long fantasy books and want something intricate and full of depth and tons of characters that really all have a place in the story, pick up the Kinsman Chronicles. If you’ve read King’s Folly and King’s Blood, read King’s War and be assured that this is one finale that will not disappoint.
