Gather Martyr's Fire (Merlin's Immortals, #3) Conceived By Sigmund Brouwer Issued As Copy
Fire is the third book of the Merlin's Immortals series, Although I wish I'd read the previous book in the series, Martyr's fire stands on its own just fine.
A really good read with a great plot and plenty of action to keep you interested, The characters are compelling and you are drawn into their world immediately,
Thomas loses the Kingom of Magnus to priests who turn out to be Druids, He starts out on a journey, unknowingly watched over by Katherine and Hawkwood and accompanied by his puppy, Beast.
I just wish this book was longer, as I really didn't want it to end! Sigmund Brouwer has an appealing style that captivates and enchants the reader.
Well done! When Priests of the Holy Grail show up in Magnus, Thomas flees the castle and sets out on a journey to the Holy Land in search of answers.
He runs into Katherine along the way and is convinced that she is a Druid, Katherine, however, is convinced that Thomas is the Druid, And so they reluctantly partner up, even though they cannot trust the other,
This in book three in the series, and while I enjoyed the continuing story, this book was filled with traveling and waiting for the next big thing to happen.
So that felt a bit anticlimactic in the end, But I still enjoyed the characters and the unfolding mystery, These books are very well written and so short that I can read them in a day, Perhaps theyll publish them all in one volume at
some point, Looking forward to the final installment, This book is the third by this author in the Merlin's Immortals series, Thomas escapes Magnus and is on a quest, With his kingdom being invaded, he fled and is in search of answers, There are assumptions, Druids, misunderstandings and friends throughout the story, Thomas must make decisions and his search isn't an easy one,
I really enjoy this author's writing style, The challenges that Thomas faces are to strengthen his character and it works great, The chapters are short and the book is an easy, quick read, I like the medieval times setting and all the characters, I did have issues with how repetitive certain things were in the book, but at the same time, I can understand how that works for the young adults to a point.
I rate this a/, It was a good third in the series just not up to the standards of the other two.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy of this book, I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above aremine, A story so full of mystery that keeps the reader guessing as to how the loose ends will eventually tie up, and memorable characters leaping right out of its pages, the third and, perhaps, the final installment in the Merlin's Immortals series is medieval fiction at its best.
The medieval period is a period of uncertainty, Castles, dark dungeons, nobles, knights, druids, priests, treachery, holy grail, secrets, conspiracies, power struggles are the hallmarks of the period.
One false move, and a king can become a pauper but the right moves, and destiny, elevated an orphan Thomas to an exalted position.

My :
The adventure begins with Thomas posing as a beggar, as he tries to escape the castle.
Men have arrived in the castle claiming to do great wonders and miracles, While the town is enamored by the priests of the Holy Grail, Thomas is seeking to save his people from the evil that seeks to destroy them all.
Thomas is unknowingly being followed, and though his intentions are honorable, they all live in times that are uncertain and unpredictable everyone must be careful and trust no one but themselves.
Brouwer definitely left us hanging with his previous two novels, I know that doesn't seem like a favorable thing to say, but I really looked forward to how the story was going to end.
The cast of characters is certainly one of my favorites in a very long time Thomas, with a destiny that is forever spinning out of control Katherine, who watches over him yet never reveals much about herself and Hawkwood, a keeper of secrets, stealthy of foot and one who possesses the ability to become someone else.
With great secondary characters, what could have been misinterpreted as a weak filler novel actually turned out to be one of my favorites in this series.
Because I already knew some of the background story, all that awaited was the remainder of the other puzzle pieces.
And simply because of that, I highly anticipated this novel, and was not disappointed, Brouwer's writing style is uniquehe draws you in and makes you a fan for life,
