This is book 3 of The King Raven Trilogy.
I cannot say any more about this series than I have said already. Tuck continues to build upon an already solid foundation and it brings the series to a sound and satisfying (although relatively anti-climactic but completely realistic) close.
Everything that Hood started out with and that Scarlet built upon, Tuck takes one step further. Everything political that was building comes to a head. The danger, death, deception, and destruction continue to increase. The ultimate fate of Elfael will finally be decided.
Tuck is the namesake for this final installment. He is a prominent character to be sure, but he does not take center stage. I though that Lawhead did a very nice job of spreading the spotlight among all of the main characters, of bringing each of their stories to a fitting close.
In all, this was a series well worth reading. It breathed fresh new life into a worn out tale and is one of those rare series that I can see myself reading for a second time (or even a third) in the years to come. He made Bran a completely believable and reluctant hero, with heavy doses flaws and greatness alike. He also made me want to learn how to shoot a longbow. Kudos to Mr. Lawhead for creating such an amazing series. My only disappointment is that I have no more of it left to read.
