A
good ending to the series. I was satisfied with how things turned out
and wasn’t disappointed in anything.
That being said, this Forgotten Warrior series just didn’t click with me overall. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it but the desire to ever re-read it is at zero. It didn’t grab me and “make” me want to read the next book. I’m going to re-read Correia’s Grimnoir trilogy next and I’m hoping it stands up to a re-read and doesn’t slide into the territory currently occupied by this series, ie, good but not memorable.
Good but not memorable really sums things up for me for the whole series. Take from it what you will.

What happens after the War of the Gods?
The answer lies in the Heart of the Mountain…
Ashok Vadal was chosen by a powerful weapon to be its bearer. As a Protector, an elite roving law-enforcer, his path to leader of the Sons of the Black Sword has been anything but straight.
Thera Vane, a child of privilege, has become the reluctant prophet of an illegal and forgotten god—whose prophecies are proving all too correct, if frustratingly unclear about the war between demon and man.
Ashok’s erstwhile sword brother, Lord Protector Devedas, was meant to be a puppet king, but he and his wife, a court scholar, have other plans. And possibly even access to the lore that will let them triumph.
Grand Inquisitor Omand Vokkan is a man of ambition. He’s set in motion all that was necessary to destroy the current order and install Lord Protector Devedas as a tyrant. But Vokkan has a vision beyond control of the continent. He would challenge even the gods. . . .
It seems the time of prophecy and the Age of Law is over: it is time the prophecies will be fulfilled.
