The Forsaken Throne (Kingfountain Book 6)

This set of books have taken me on along journey during a difficult time when I lost both my parents and my partner. I was lost in grief and afraid of my emotions so I picked up a fantasy book filled with magic and tried to hide from the world. The relationships between the Kiskadons and others in these books in many ways mirrored the real life I was hiding from. I have laughed cried gotten angry and prayed for justice whilst reading and remembered that I can enjoy something, that I can laugh or cry and not feel guilty for doing so. Now that I have finished the series I am left wanting more. But isn't that how your supposed to feel when you've truly enjoyed something? I will have to use my imagination and continue the story of Trynne and Fallon in my own way, but if more books are written in this saga I will be waiting with baited breath to read them

Truly dreadful, derivative, incoherent sub-Arthurian mishmash. There were so many characters and names it was difficult to keep up with them all and impossible to care about them. Very 2-dimensional characters - it felt like reading about the antics of a load of cardboard cut-outs. If you want good fantasy, save your money & try something with real pace, engaging dialogue, a story that hangs together and appealing characters: Sebastien de Castell's Greatcoats series is hugely better, as is Robin Hobb's Assassins series.

Having read all preceding stories in the King fountain series it took a while to realise how much time had passed. Once I caught up with the timeline I was encapsulated. The story pulls you along with it and I am grateful for that as I am an occasional reader. The King fountain series accompanied me to the constant doctors appointments I have to endure. The whole series is an incredible read and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I am eager to read more by the same author and look forward to my next book.

Wow loved it like I did the other 5 books. I loved the fact that Mr Wheeler entangled Muirwood series with this. Made reading even more exciting as the characters became even clearer. Even though amazon list reading kingfountain series first. I'll start with both the Muirwood series first, followed by Kingfountain then the Harbinger series. Every set can be read entirely alone, but following this order will make understanding better and more enjoyable. Would re-read these series again as they are so enjoyable. Happy reading

I have read all 6 of the Kingfountain books (loved the first 5) but found this book to be the most disappointing. The reader is introduced to a new world, Muirwood, presumably to make you want to read another set of books. I found it disappointing and frustrating in that this "world" could have been introduced much earlier in the series in other books without seeming to have been as contrived in the last book, it looked like he was running out of ideas after all there are only so many battles and wars that you can read and write about without the reader becoming bored.There are also far too many loose ends in the book that are unanswered again presumably to make you read another set of books, seems a bit money grabbing to me but that's only my opinion.

Another great ending to another great trilogy !I couldn't wait for the final elements of Trynne's story come together just as with her father in the first Kingsfountain3 - 3 days, some delayed train travel/late night reading and we're all done already. The links to the Mirrowen/Muirwood stories brought on a few flashbacks (worth a pause to read those between 3 & 4 if you haven't already) and I've only one "complaint" - now what ?(The Poisoner's Enemy in January (prequel) ... but hopefully more worlds in the future too)

I can only say what a master writer Jeff Wheeler is. This series like the others was amazing. He truly knows how to keep you hooked and using your imagination. His description brings the world's alive the characters you either love or despise. The twists and turns the ups downs and highs and lows are so well written. This last book was truly a masterpiece as previous lands, world's, tribes and magic from his other series were interwoven and entwined so well that I fell back in love with them all over again. All hail Jeff Wheeler thank you for your style flair and the privilege of reading your stories.

A beautifully written series of books, set in the theme of King Arthur. With knight and castles, maidens in realms and magic all around. So many characters to fall in love with, I have not wept over hero`s fate in many a book read, but for these. I applaud your writings Jeff Wheeler.

Turmoil is at every turn for Trynne as she is pushed to her limits trying to stay ahead of Morwenna‘ plots. With so much at stake and even the king against her, she is desperate to find her father. Help comes from unexpected quarters and her path leads her to another world where she meets an old friend and eventually finds her father. The race is on to return and save the kingdom and overthrow Morwenna. Trynne’s heart is torn by events and there is no happy solution for everyone. In a surprising turn of events she finally finds happiness with her family reunited and the man she loves by her side. At times heart wrenching it is full of intrigue from start to finish. Only problem was it was over all to soon and I didn’t want it to end. Hard not to become immersed in the world that the author has cleverly built.

The whole series (including this final book) was generally an enjoyable (occasionally compelling) read, but annoyingly I sometimes felt I was being lead by the nose for the sake of plot. Often in books you are confused by unexpected plot turns: in exceptional writing this confusion mostly gives way to an "Ahh" moment of understanding and pleasure as the reasons are revealed as a natural, plausible sequence. In mediocre writing the confusion remains and you feel a bit cheated as you are left with the "that character wouldn't do that!" vibe and the feeling that the situation is unrealistically being manipulated to fit. This latter happened a few times throughout the series and normally I wouldn't keep reading, but this was thankfully a more subtle than overt problem. In the face of the authors genuineness, obvious veneration for Arthurian legend that shone through and strong characters that you do care about, it didn't feel like a deliberate 'cheat', more like an editing problem.

I can't believe I'm at the end of the Kingfountain series! Totally amazing series which I have loved from the very first book! I'm a bit disappointed now that it's finally come to an end, and what a great ending it was!! Guess I'll check out another series that I can start now from this brilliant author!!

I loved this trilogy even more than I loved the original trilogy and this concluding story did not disapoint. The world (s!) are interesting and well constructed, the characters are interesting and the narrative is compelling. I have read so many books and so many very poor/simplistic reimaginings of historical myths that it makes this wonderful take on Arthurian legend stand out even more. I loved it and am sad to see Trynne's tale come to a (satisfing) end.

the Forsaken Throne sixth and last in the Kingfountain series, and as with the previous five books it is an exciting read. This is a well worth series to read and enjoy. I particularly like the fact that the other Jeff Wheeler books relate to the same area in the fantasy world he has created.
