We read on in the tale of Benjiah as he seeks to discover the truth of the eternal rain, and Aljeron seeks out the lost dragons in the frozen wastes of the North. It has some great flashback bits about the enemie's pasts, and powerful battle scenes, with a twist (predictable) at the end.
Graham's third book in the Binding of the Blade trilogy is satisfying, but it seems to be lacking a bit in the intrigue department. I am not saying I dislike this book at all, it was a great continuation of his earlier story, but it seems to waffle on in certain parts. The "secret" of the rain, which I won't disclose here, was painfully obvious even in the second book. Not a bad fantasy read, go ahead and try it, but it lacks the zest of his previous two books.

This third book in the Binding of the Blade trilogy is roughly on par with the 1st two in the series. The characters are well developed and each chapter has plenty of conflict, adventure, and romance to keep the reader hooked. The style is reminiscent of the earlier works of Stephen Lawhead (that's a good thing). Some of the plot lines are interesting, but they are pretty typical for this genre. Others show flashes of brilliance that leave you with hopes that Graham will grow into a world class author. As a trilogy, the three books are not quite as cohesive as they could be - more like a set of episodes in a series than a unified saga. I expect this is simply a mark of inexperience and not a serious weakness. If you are a fan of sci-fi/fantasy with a positive moral compass, I highly recommend this series. I do recommend reading them in order.
