Drosselmeyer: Dance of the Nutcracker

by Paul Thompson

The riveting conclusion to the Nutcracker Trilogy. Fritz wakes up as a prisoner in Delysia, a strange realm ruled by the powerful sorcerer, Malregent, and guarded by an army of Lignumorts. With no hope of escape from his prison walls, he resigns himself to a new life as a slave. When a fellow prisoner is killed for sport in a gladiator ring, Fritz vows revenge and volunteers to fight in the grizzly games. But after discovering that Malregent knows how to unlock the Celestine, Fritz is determined to learn the secret and get back home to save his friends. Without his magic to aid him, Fritz is in the fight of his life against trained warriors, deadly Lignumorts, and an evil emperor that has the power to destroy his world and everyone in it.

It was nice to wrap up the story. Again, too much violence (gladiatorial fights—might want to look up the solar plexus before starting books 2 and 3, lol) and abusive prostitution, or I could recommend and give more stars. I love his backstory to the Nutcracker. Well done. I think more could have been done with Clara, perhaps. Obviously Christian worldview at the end, though perhaps not entirely consistent, it was well done.

I’m so sad the trilogy is done. :,(
Paul has a great writing style and a very creative and imaginative mind! The characters are complex by this point, and the continuity is impressive. (I wouldn’t be able to owe them all straight!)

Paul Thompson- get to work and wrote more books please!

The book was fine… my interest in the story just slipped further and further with each book.
