    About this audiobook

    Kristen Britain returns to the "lively fantasy" (SF Site) world of the Green Rider.

    A thousand years ago the armies of the Arcosian Empire, led by Mornhavon the Black, crossed the great sea and tried to conquer the land of Sacoridia -and during Karigan G'ladheon's early years as a Green Rider, Mornhavon's spirit, sensing weakness in his prison walls and seeking vengeance, began to wake. With the ghostly help of the First Rider, Karigan had managed to drive off the spirit of Mornhavon-but for how long, no one could know. And now, the descendants of those Arcosians are ready to strike, reaching out to claim the land their forebears had tried to conquer. Worse, these vengeful enemies had spent generations honing their powers of dark magic-a force against which the Sacoridians had no defense…

      I love this author. She's so imaginative and descriptive. I had thought this was the final book in this series, and I'm simultaneously pleased and upset to find I was wrong. Pleased because -- yay! more books! Upset because I so wanted to know the ending!
    • 4/5
      Another great story in the Green Rider saga. These characters and stories are wonderfully intricate and complex; one can only imagine that the series will continue for quite some time with lots of threads resurfacing. Karigan is truely wonderful. There are, however, places in this book that seem a touch irrellevant and unnecessary.
    • 3/5
      Karigan G'ladheon, heroine of the first two Green Rider novels, is off on another adventure. Although Sacoridia is celebrating the betrothal of King Zachary, and enjoying a temporary reprieve from the threat of Mornhavon the Black, unbeknown to them, a new threat is growing. The hidden descendants of Mornhavon's supporters are gathering to strike. Meanwhile, the D'Yer Wall, built to contain Mornhavon, is failing. Karigan, sent on an extended Rider mission, finds herself racing to save the kingdom once again, and in so doing, learns more about Rider magic and the royal tombs below the castle.I like this series. Although I hit a slow spot in this book, about a third of the way in, it became a page-turner again, and I'm looking forward to reading the fourth book.
    • 3/5
      A very transitional novel, which disappointed me because I was among those who had somehow gotten the idea that the Green Rider series was a trilogy. Neither the events nor the character development that occur in The High King's Tomb justify the high page count; it seems that there were a number of filler scenes in which characters fret about events, and events moved very slowly until the last third of the book. The plot actually centers around the character of Grandmother, rather than Kerigan, which means that the majority of actions by characters unconnected to Grandmother (and very few of the introduced characters are connected to Grandmother) are setting up for the next installment, and have little bearing on the momentum of this one. This also has the effect of making Major Events in Kerigan's story seem like side-stories or footnotes, whereas she was the center of the previous two books.That said, the world is still a very interesting place and we do get introduced to far more of it, in passing, here. Interesting new characters are introduced, with hopes that they'll play a big part next time. Specific, high-consequence scenes are done very, very well, providing the dramatic lift. And when she starts connecting to the main plot, Kerigan shines as much as she did in the previous two books.
    • 5/5
      A better read then the others, although I get the feeling that the author isn't quite used to dealing with such a large cast and world. New characters are introduced and old ones found (I'm glad to see the Berry sisters again), and the plot continues to roll forward, although not as far as I was hoping. I can't wait for the next book!

      In this book Karigan is struggling with the King's wedding to Lady Estora and, when the Captain Mapstone askes her to go on a seemingly boring mission, Karigan is thrilled to leave the castle. The only downer is that she has to bring along a new Green Rider (Fergal) and train him in on the mission. The D'Yer wall continues to crumble and Alton struggles to find a way to repair it. Of course all is not what it seems to be and Karigan's simple mission goes awry.The beginning of this book was slow and meandering. The only excitement was Karigan's duel with Amberhill in the museum before she left on her mission. I thought Karigan was strangely morose and immature in the beginning of the book; especially with how she treated Lady Estora.I don't think that Fergal really added much to the book; I started getting flashbacks to Mercedes Lackey's Valedmar series when I read about Fergal. The introduction of Amberhill as the destitute noble/rogue was fun. Amberhill is an entertaining character but I struggled to get him to fit into the story. His role in the story seemed forced and a bit unnatural; althought I think this character has promise for the future. Unfortunately I was getting the feeling that Amberhill's only purpose in this novel is to set him up as a future love interest for Karigan (I guess time will tell).Damien and Lady Frost were very interesting characters that didn't get enough page space. It was also nice to see the Berry sisters again; although the role they played was tiny.The story overall was disappointing. Both Karigan and Alton did a lot of hemming and hawing. There were a lot of issues brought up in the book that were left unresolved (Karigan's problem with her father trying to foist her off for marriage, etc). I think people who have previously reviewed this book and described it as a transition novel are right. There was a lot of shuffling people around and setting up stuff but not a lot of meaningful action taking place.At the end of this book I had more questions than answers. I also started to despair that this is going to be a long un-ending series. I think it would have been good as a trilogy; I am worried that it will drag itself down if too many books are slapped onto this series.So in summary, it was okay. I read it at a pretty good clip for a while and then had trouble finishing it. Hopefully the next book is more meaningful and hopefully it concludes this series!
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful addition to the series, and while clearing up a few loose ends, it created several more tantalizing characters to follow up on. Grandmother and Amberhill are two I look forward to reading more about, as well as Karigan.
    • 5/5
      If you love horses, fantasy, honour and loyalty then you simply must pick this one up. Riveting read and a very fine series. This is Kristens' third book in her first ever trilogy. Looking forward to many, many more.
