The characters are amazingly written. ( ) This is set in a fantasy world but is primarily a romance. Imoshen becomes the last T’en princess when her family is killed during an invasion by the Ghebite army. She agrees to ally herself with their General to save her own life and those of thousands of her people, ending the war. She soon develops feeling for him, and him for her, but they have many hurdles to overcome. Like, he killed her family. And he thinks women are brainless chattel with no rights. And she has scary magic powers that make his people believe she is a demon. And then it turns out her T’en betrothed is alive and leading the rebels. Should she stay with the General try for peace (and love) or become a figurehead for the rebels and choose war (and love)? I enjoyed their love triangle, but there wasn’t really enough story for a whole trilogy. So, here it is in full! Just click on the links to track to a specific book within the omnibus. Part 1: Broken Vows Part 2: Dark Dreams Part 3: Desperate Alliances (sorry goodreaders, the links are for my blog, so you'll be taken there if you click!) This was 3 books in one, luckily I had a fever this weekend so I did nothing else than read ;) In a way I should have reviewed them one and one, but I did read it like one huge book, so...but remember, this is of all 3 books then. 600 years ago the T´en left their home and came to Fair Isle (that is another trilogy and you do not have to read that one before.) They blended with the population and lived there peacefully. Well sort of, after a while, and after the T'en powers died out, and full blooded t'en could not marry and have kids. So, yeah. Anyway, story! Barbarians come, plunder and kill. Imoshen is a true T'en, a throwback of her bloodline. And the only one left of the royal family. Tulkhan the barbarian warlord fancies her, and it's a way to survive and save her people so she uses that knowledge. The road is long, there are rebellions, betrayal, a fine line to walk, and the whole them and us thing. Fair Isle was a nice place where women had power. Tulkhan's society was not. Women had no souls, were owned by their males, and could not even look a male in the eye. So yes that whole cultural thing was clash of titans. And I did agree with Imoshen when she called him a barbarian, I mean no souls! Damn church of his. Women were less than cows. The story, well 3 books, lots happen... Imoshen and Tulkan. Sigh, still on p 800 he was still all I do not trust her. But then why would he. It's just, she trusted him! And she loved him, whole he constantly thought she was betraying him. Stupid male. Some said this worked well as a fantasy romance, fine I saw one review, but no. This is not a romance. It's a fantasy book where love is a chess game. He trust her first at the end, she was told to get preggers by him and secure the island. Read is as an omnibus or in 3 parts. It works either way :) You got political intrigue, sieges, betrayal and magic. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
A complete trilogy on one volume, this is the story of the The Last T'En, a majestic epic fantasy from the best selling author of The Chronicles of King Rolen's Kin and The Outcast Chronicles. 600 years have passed since the events of The Outcast Chronicles occurred and much T'En knowledge has been lost, hidden or cloaked by lies. This is the story of Imoshen, named for her ancestor, Imoshen the First. The last pure T'En woman, she is a throwback to the mystics who settled Fair Isle. When the Ghebite invader, General Tulkhan, conquers her island she is torn between her duty to smooth the transition of power and her betrothal to Reothe, last throwback T'En male who leads the rebellion against Tulkhan.
