Imperial Trilogy #3
Imperial Traitor
In the exciting conclusion to the trilogy, Emperor Surabar is assassinated, and Shalidar makes plans to put Lord Tremarle on the throne, in return for being appointed his heir. The remaining lords have other plans, however, and the city descends into anarchy. Femke and Reynik go into hiding with the Emperor designate, Lord Kempten. But for Kempten to take over, he must destroy the master stone€”a stone which is kept in the heavily-guarded palace. As gladiators face up to assassins, can Femke come up with a plan to get them into the palace and return peace to the city?

3.1 ☆☆☆
Pretty solid story over all, but I think it was meant for younger readers.
Again the German translation is super wooden and the dialogue very stilted, otherwise I think I would have liked the characters a lot better.
I’d love to give it a better rating

Need more Femke and Reynik honestly...
Not a bad ending at all, but the novels had more telling instead of showing xD

With the Emperor Surabar having been assassinated, Shalidar makes plans to place himself on the throne. The Emperor's death hasn't put the two spies off, though. Femke and Reynik are more determined than ever to destroy the guild one and for all. The plans are all coming together, but they aren't without consequences....
Imperial Traitor is the third and final novel in the Imperial Trilogy, a fantasy-come-spy set of books that are slightly different from your standard fantasy story. Imperial Traitor is probably the best of the three, combining lots of action with many surprises, making it a very exciting story.
I've always been interested in detective/spy stories; from a young age I watched Miss (a detective series) with my parents. The Imperial Trilogy, however, put a unique spin on the spy genre, combining it with the rather bloated high fantasy genre. The outcome is a pretty decent read; not something to be missed by the fantasy lover. The fantastic thing about merging these popular genres is that Imperial Traitor is effectively a really fast, action packed fantasy that keeps you on your edge all the time; I was forever trying to predict what was going to happen with the new knowledge the characters had gleaned, only to find my predictions pitifully wrong! It was enjoyable though, and just goes to show that Imperial Traitor is hardly predictable. read more...

A super good ending the Imperial trilogy. I am going to miss reading them! Although, Robson did seem to leave it open for maybe another book, *wink wink* *nudge nudge* Robson!
I really enjoyed how Robson brought the book back full circle bringing back some of the older characters etc.

It was a good end to a good trilogy, though I would have liked a little more in the way of what actually happened after everything was over.

It's been a while, but I remember picking up this book and putting it down after a chapter or a few pages and having a hard time picking it back up.

Intriguing, but I can't remember much now. Argh. Need to refresh my memory soon.
