Their stories are so beautifully written that my heart hurts a little bit when I think about them.
I’ve fallen in love with every one of these characters. The complex tangle of bloodlines, politics, and love introduced in Finnikin of the Rock and Froi of the Exilescoalesce into an engrossing climax in this final volume. While in the valley between two kingdoms, Quintana of Charyn and Isaboe of Lumatere come face-to-face in a showdown that will result in heartbreak for one and power for the other. Separated from the girl he loves and has sworn to protect, Froi and his companions travel through Charyn searching for Quintana and building an army that will secure her unborn child’s right to rule. Ages 14 up.Summary of Quintana of Charyn from Goodreads: Readers who have fallen in love with Quintana, Froi, Finnikin, Isaboe, and others will eagerly seek out what fate has in store for them. One of the hallmarks of this series has been the complexity and attention Marchetta gives to both primary and secondary characters, creating a richly human cast of damaged but noble individuals she frequently shifts perspective among them, highlighting the pain, joy, and experience that unites them despite prejudice, heartache, nationality, and other sources of division. Forces conspire against Quintana while her beloved Froi tries to find the queen before her enemies do. As the title suggests, Quintana the rightful ruler of Charyn, hidden following the uprising in the kingdom in Froi of the Exiles is at the center of this final book.
Although tragedies arise, unity and healing are core themes, compared to the horrors of the previous books. Marchetta triumphantly concludes the trilogy that began with Finnikin of the Rock, as the kingdoms of Lumatere and Charyn attempt to bridge past atrocities through a new generation of leaders.
