Commentary During Books Return of the Guardian-King (Legends of the Guardian-King #4)
The powerful finale to the Christy Award-winning novels in the LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIAN-KING seriesBelieved dead by all but the handful of supporters who rescued him from his Mataian enemies, Abramm Kalladorne has fled his homeland to the high mountains of northern Chesedh. Traveling under a new name with a group of bitter and increasingly desperate fellow exiles, Abramm hopes to reunite with his wife in Chesedh, where he will offer his services to her father in fighting the invading armies of the Black Moon. But with every step he is hindered, delayed, and diverted from the direction he desires to go, and it soon becomes clear Eidon has other plans for him.
In the royal city of Fannath Rill, Maddie alone believes Abramm still lives. But since she has no proof, her friends, family, and public opinion press her to remarry. With its neighboring realms now under enemy control, Chesedh has become the last bastion of Eidon's Light. Desperately overmatched, it cannot survive on its own. Yet the rich, handsome eastern warlord who is openly courting Maddie has a vast fleet of galley ships that could turn the tide in Chesedh's favor....

I loved it! A satisfactory ending to the series, although I want to know exactly what happens with Duke Simon and Gillard - I despise loose ends, although one important thing with Duke Simon did get cleared up right near the end. (*Note - the rest of this paragraph is a spoiler*.) I was so thrilled when Carissa and Meridon finally got their marriage worked out! This was possibly the most agonizing love story I've ever seen, and they needed to fix it! Carissa's blatant flirting with her husbandAbramm is believed dead by all but the people who rescued him from his execution, but Maddie is reluctant to give into the public consensus. Even her closest advisers are pressuring her to remarry for the good of Chesedh. Meanwhile, Abramm must undertake a series of trials that will shake his faith and delay his homecoming.This was a satisfying end to the series, made even more so by the events that occur between Trap and Carissa. Honestly, Trap is perhaps my favorite character in these four
Great series
An epic retelling of JobThis entire series had me on the wildest emotional roller coaster. Even knowing there was another book, I could not be assured of the survival and well being of Abramm our hero. At one point I wondered what else could possibly go wrong, what else could possibly be done to this man, and how would he ever endure this next trial?! This ending tale had me putting the book down and walking away. I could not accept the heart ache. I was so engrossed in it I had to share my
My least favorite of the 4, but still my favorite fantasy (not called Harry Potter) series. The characters develop and you love them. The spiritual lessons are so impactful throughout the series, challenging your trust in the Lord while also rallying you to be more faithful and devoted. I just wish this final had been more straight forward. It took too many twist and turns and too many gut wrenching choices to make the end satisfactory.
I really enjoyed this whole series. I was a little disappointed when Book Three took a romantic twist because up until then I really thought my young teenage grandson would have enjoyed it; however, it made for a great plot and Karen Hancock used it clear to the end to add adventure. Don't start Book one if you aren't prepared to read all four because each one hooks you for the next!
This was a stunning finale to Hancock's series, Legends of the Guardian King. The blend of Biblical concepts and fantasy is wonderfully done, and the close of Abramm's story is inspiring. I found the whole series to be very uplifting and would recommend this as a must read to anyone who is at least fourteen. There is a fair amount of violence due to the war going on, and the book did contain adult concepts, although nothing inappropriate, but that is why I recommend that those under fourteen
