The Lost Prophecy #3
Tower of the Gods
As the twisted groeliin press their way south, countless lives will be lost unless Roelle can find help, forcing her to go to an enemy for aid. It’s a dangerous gamble, but she can think of no alternative, not if she intends to save as many as possible.
Jakob continues having strange visions and struggles with what he’s becoming. No longer does he question that he has power, but the only person who might be able to answer is trapped in Thealon. They must reach her before all is lost. Doing so forces them to face an army of Deshmahne and a horde of groeliin.
As their paths converge, war extends throughout the north. All have to sacrifice, but even that might not be enough to defeat both the Deshmahne and the groeliin, all while trying to save the last of the gods.

Tower of the Gods is the third book in The Lost Prophecy series by D.K. Holmberg. The series definitely had an intriguing premise and held a lot of potential - but turned out to be my least favourite of Mr. Holmbergs work/s .... missing the mark for me .... but it may be just right for some readers who enjoy a fantasy saga.
The story follows a diverse cast of characters drawn together by a mysterious prophecy -one that is as much a burden as it is a guide. Each character was well crafted with their own personalities, strengths, flaws, and personal stakes in the prophecy.
We follow along, getting multiple perspectives, which I think was meant to provide a deeper, richer reading experience - but instead, caused some frustrating confusion, for me.
Happy Reading…

~90%. +5% compared to book two.
The third book has the pace grow a bit, the events spiraling towards the first major showdown. Desmahne infiltrating Vasha, Roelle and the Antrilii battling the groeliin and Jakob with Brohmin and Salindra heading towards the Tower in a race against the time as Richard (under Raime's influence) aims to besiege the city and claim the tower - despite being weakened by Locken's declaration of independence and Allay's attempts to muster a resistance against the mad plan.
To sum it up without spoilers: there are several twists as these events unfold and more revelations about the past adn the mysteries about Jakob's powers, even though there's much left unsaid.

Generally good series
There is one bad flaw in this series. The author does not understand horses. In his other series people teleport, levitate, and ride dragons. In this series he had 100 mages on horseback riding 18 hours a day. Nope. Horses are grazing animals. They require hours every day to eat and sleep. In real life if you want to get anywhere with 100 people on horseback you need remounts, a baggage train, pack horses carrying oats, grooms, and at least two farriers. Otherwise your expensive, delicate, mounts will go lame or die.The casual disregard of biology completely ruined the books for me.

The book is more about the self doubts of our protagonist. the writing style is poor...feels like the same questions keep getting asked and starts feeling page fillers than a story

It was difficult to follow.

A lot of action, but a lot of self doubt from the main character. There are still a lot of questions that need answering. Good book. Makes me want to keep reading.

A great series!
All I could think about as I read the epilogue is that this can't be it! I need more! And then at the end, an announcement of book 4 in the future! Yes! I will get to spend more time with Jakob and the grands adventures he has taken me on....yet I have a feeling none previous will be quite as grand as what is to come for Jakob!

It has characters and a story that will grab and hols on to you. I usually don't like a book that jumps from one place to antoher but this one has such storng charaters, it doesn't matter which one the author is righting about. It will hold you no matter where the book takes you. If you don't read this seriers than it is your lose. A GREAT SERIES AND GREAT READING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry continues to be good, but the telling stays to grate on the nerves. I get it, he wants answers and he can't figure out how he is doing things. But shouldn't he have started to figure some of it out by the third book?

Great start to this series, can't wait to keep reading
