A
very whimper’y end to this trilogy. It wasn’t even necessarily
bad, it just was Stackpole writing a story he felt nothing for and so
it was just a book he wrote to pay the bills. Sometimes you can’t
tell when an author does that, but Stackpole shows his heart on his
sleeve when it comes to his writing.
Overall, I am glad to have finally read this trilogy by Stackpole but I do wish it had had more heart.
Well, I can’t win them all I guess.
★★★☆☆

In this concluding volume of the Fiddleback Trilogy, the old saying that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," is sorely put to the test. Pygmalion, apprentice to the Dark Lord Fiddleback, has rebelled against his master and has established himself as a Dark Lord. To defeat him, Coyote and Fiddleback must join forces.
Pygmalion is not without his own allies. He has taken an apprentice, the god-man Ryuhito, grandson of the Japanese Emperor. Through him, Pygmalion horrific power is amplified. But the fires of betrayal burn within Ryuhito's heart, and his grandfather will spare no expense to get his grandson back.
Deceit, treachery and revenge boil together in this war of Dark Lords and their minions. Coyote and his aides, mere humans all, go to war with the Dark Lords to prevent the nightmare of... Evil Triumphant
