With eight children in tow, Touya’s got no shortage of distractions! But he has a kingdom to run, and he can't let familial fuss keep him away from his civic duties! As issues both domestic and international pile up, how will Touya cope with the burdens of rulership with nearly two handfuls of obstinate offspring to worry about? And what of the wicked devout, who continue their malicious machinations beneath the cover of night? How many new members have they rallied to their cause, and what might they finally unleash upon unsuspecting nations in the far west? Find out in another exciting tale of swords, sorcery, and flashback episodes!
I hate that each book takes so long to come out, because the anticipation drives me crazy. I really like this series and wonder what will happen to the family next....
At first, I felt like the new arc with the future kids and wicked devout was too much and that the story should have already ended with an epilogue of the future. However, with each new book in this arc, I'm enjoying it although I find it a bit annoying at times how the characters seem to be a bit static in their development.
