Nathan and friends must overcome deceit, betrayal, and the desire for revenge as they struggle to save the next victim of King Ganus's ambition, the people of Pailtar.
I liked the story, but the writing was lacking. I feel harsh, but I've read writings from a 9th grader that we're better. They just resolved conflicts too easily For example with Everett, Nathan loathed him for what he did to his village, but Everett sent him a message about the traitor and Nathan was fine with him. The timeline doesn't match up either. People became warriors to fast and certain things didn't match up. Like when the guild was attacked they said that the rest of the army would be there in like 10 days, but when Kiana was practicing her daggers she said that she was getting pretty good at them because she had been practicing for weeks. Even though she didn't start untill after the guild was attacked.
A copy editor was needed for some typos. I enjoyed the story line and characters development from the first and second books. I like the way Robyn Wideman writes the story. I am involved in the story and want to hear how Nathan solves his problems. The two protagonists are developed from the Son of Soron book through this one. I was a little disappointed that the character Ava was about to disappear from the plot line. I thought the love story for Nathan should continue some how.
I enjoyed meeting the new characters. I also enjoyed the twist on society. Who would have thought to have a thieves guild to have dues like girlscouts. Great concept. I am off to read book 4.
Lots of new characters Lots of growth of existing characters Wondering why a new girl was introduced Wondering If exiting character will grow beyond current situation
I think this series is getting better with each book. I love how all the main characters are coming together with no idea the others are also gravitating toward each other. Really enjoying this series. On to book four.
The war has begun and the adventure continues. Great action and yes characters die😢 I'm powering through these quite quickly but I can't put them down.
This is the 3rd series I have read by this writer, the story keeps moving forward, none of the getting bogged with mundane details and instantly insanely powerful.

Having saved the lost tomes of the Red Order from falling into the hands of Evil King Ganus, Nathan returns to Balta. However, King Ganus has not given up his plans to rule Mithbea and strikes at the very heart of Balta. Nathan and friends must overcome deceit, betrayal, and the desire for revenge as they struggle to save the next victim of King Ganus's ambition, the people of Pailtar. The Siege of Pailtar was a great continuation of the Stoneblood Saga. It kept me lock in on it from start to finish. The new characters added another dimension to the story. The character of Everett, how it has developed into somewhat likeable, throws another light into the story. The characters are well developed, as is the story line which is very engaging. I hope the mext book doesn't take to long to come out. I really hope I don't miss it. This is a great series, I highly recommend it! Great Reading Everyone!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed reading parts of this book, but it seems the author is spreading it out to thin. Usually a book is about a main character, or multiple main characters that effect each other. However in the last book and even more so in this book the story diverts to characters that aren't that important. I still liked the parts with Nathan in it, but the rest seemed like they had their own stories that weren't as attention grabbing as the character the book got its foothold from.
Wow.. The first 2 books were pretty dang good.. This one...Not so much. First 2 books the storyline focused on where it should. This book........Well it jumped the shark and focused on a unknown thief.
