The Last Tomb

The Cycle of the Scour #3

by Edward W. Robertson

The demons have been defeated, along with their masters. At last, the Collen Basin is at peace.

But that peace is a lie. The prince of Mallon is conspiring to wage war on Collen—and young Cally is the only one who knows of his scheme.

He and his new girlfriend Myla rush to the basin to warn them. Yet the Colleners have only just begun to react when the Mallish vanguard arrives in force. Led by Inquisitor Vara, they swiftly take the city's children hostage—and deliver an offer of peace from the king.

With no idea if they can trust this offer, the rebel leaders send Cally and Myla to the Oracle of Kela, hoping the seers can help them avert disaster. Getting to the Oracle is a dizzying nightmare, but the answers it gives Cally will soon send him to an even more hellish trial.

For hell is always deeper than you think. As Myla abandons him to return to Collen, Cally must travel into the deep desert alone. He doesn't even know what he's searching for. Only that the Oracle told him he must.

And that the future of all Collen depends on what he might find there.

I love the world that Robertson has created!!

This book felt a bit rushed and opened more holes. Usually when he does this he has filled them with new information be it lands or powers or background. I just feel like I want more after finishing and not in the good way.

Still really well written and giving it 4/5 because I love the overall world and characters.

I love the grouchy old man in the Cycle of Arwan and watching him grow to be that crazy old man heartbreaking but fantastic. I wish there could have been more exploration of the tomb and the cave peoples.

Can’t help but enjoy envisioning the old curmudgeon in Cycle of Arawn as the young knowitall learning his life lessons as he goes. Loved the story, there were a few holes I wish were filled but hoping they are filled in the next book. Can’t wait for it!

Another excellent story in the world of the Cycle. It's great to great Cali's story. I wondered throughout Dante's story about this very odd character. Tim Gerard Reynolds is a wonderful performer!!!

Continuation of the Collen Basin storylines from the previous book... also realized there are some cameos of characters that are alot older in the Galand series, I think...
