The Movement Of Crowns book 3
by Nadine C. Keels
| -From Amazon.com- The order of things, the nature of succession, and a nation that must march on... At a time of political and cultural uncertainty, the charge of the Eubeltic Realm has been passed over to a young monarch known for his intelligence, agility, and brooding ways, as well as the "way" he has with vibrant ladies at court. Can this inexperienced king handle the current rise of domestic and colonial crises, the bereavement of his family, and his curious attraction to a councilman's unassuming daughter, or is everything in his untried hands on the verge of falling apart? This trilogy of novellas has come as a surprise to me. I'm not usually a huge reader of fantasy/epic fiction, usually sticking with Narnia and Middlearth, but I have sincerely enjoyed and looked forward to reading each of these stories. I am very sorry to be saying goodbye to the peoples of Diachona and Munda. This is the story of a young man, scarcely older than a boy really, who must navigate the muddy waters of local and foreign politics when he is rather abruptly thrust into the job of king. Mourning the loss of the previous monarch, he must rise above his grief for the sake of his family and his people. Between an epidemic and citizens talking of rebellion will he be able to court and win the girl he loves? In many ways The Movement Of Kings is a wonderful coming-of-age story. I enjoyed watching the young Alexander growing, changing, and maturing in his role as king and as a man. He genuinely desires to do what it right for all of his people even when they are determined to make that difficult. Alexander is a GOOD king weighed down by the expectations of others – expectations he isn't sure he can live up to – but with the help of his father and several wise friends he goes on the journey toward becoming a GREAT king. |  . . .

As I said before, I am sorry to be saying goodbye to my Diachonian and Mundayne friends so I'm glad that I can open my Kindle app and revisit them in the future. The story is both simple and easy to read yet complex and detailed in the political arena and geography. I am very impressed with the thought and detail that Nadine C. Keels has put into every aspect, from the political structure to gowns and hairstyles, from geography to state traditions, in each of the books in this series.
Lots of politics, some danger, definitely romance, make this short book a good and satisfying read.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Movement Of Kings by Nadine C. Keels a 4 Bark rating.
