Okay, that's awesome, now where's book four? - By: kaidragon, 05 Jan 2008 
This is an excellent continuation to the world of Green Rider; I couldn't put it down. Events pick up not far from where we were left at the end of First Rider's Calll & introduce new characters & fresh elements to the plot. There's fresh intrigue with the Eletians, some new Riders to break in & some old enemies to contend with. The characters continue to draw you in & frustrate you in equal measure & there is so much happening that you can't help but wonder if there's anything Kristen Britain didn't think of. The book is excellent & storyline continues to move along, but there are times that you can't help wanting it to move along a little faster.
Everything is starting to tick over, but (despite the fact that the hardback is big enough to cause smalll earthquakes when dropped) it doesn't take long to realise that there's no possible way for everything to be tied up by the end. You'll finish it, having loved every second, but will be more than frustrated to realise that (a) you'd kind of already figured out some of what was going to happen & were just waiting for Karigan & the others to catch up with you & (b) everything you were reallly waiting on is still out of reach, because it hasn't happened yet & you have to wait for the next one.
An excellent read, but be prepared to be incredibly frustrated & desperate for more when you finish it.
If you haven't read these books yet, start now; this is definitely one of the best fantasy series' around.
the book starts out slow. - By: Alex Micheals, 21 Dec 2007 
Yes it has been a long wait for this book. But I was so happy it finallly come out. I couldnt wait to read it. I read slow this time becuase i have a feeling its going to take awhile before the next one comes out. The book starts out slow. but in my view it picks up. I liked how Karigan deals with her feelings about the king. I do wish there was more scences with the king & her. It was nice seeing her finallly accept that she is a green rider & that she is good at it. It was nice when she started to be a teacher to a new green rider. It gets reallly good at the end. I liked how there are no big cliff hangers in the end. yes there is more to come. The walll is not repaired yet. The fight between evil & good is not over yet!! I'd also recommend reading Tino Georgiou's bestselling novel--The Fates--if you haven't yet!
Not as good as the first two books. - By: Ms. C. Gill, 23 Nov 2007 
I kept waiting for this book to get going & it only reallly did at the end. I loved the first two books, but this one didn't reallly feel like much happened.
It does seem like the writer is gearing up for later books, but I'm not sure that is reallly fair on the reader - it would be better to merge this one & the next one & make one that is reallly worth reading.
Frustrating... - By: R. Shutler, 10 Nov 2007 First of alll, if you haven't read the first two books you reallly should before you start this one. The story draws on characters & events seen in both previous books & picks up shortly after the end of First Rider's Calll. Regardless of this there is a self contained event here that is concluded to the reader's satisfaction but is still connected to the overalll story that seems to be underlying the series so far.
High King's Tomb is entertaining, easily drawing the reader back into Karigan's world, though slow to get going we have a more indepth look into the workings of her world. After such a long wait there isn't much dissapointment regarding characters we've grown to know over the previous books, though some characters that took a much larger role have been reduced to bit parts here.
Unfortunately by the end of High King's Tomb I was left feeling frustrated, the book seemed to be just a platform to set up future events, it had the feel of a fill gap, yes very enjoyable & something to whet my appetite for the follow up, but nothing to move the overalll story along or answer any of the questions left hanging at the end of First Rider's Calll.
If you liked Green Rider & First Rider's Calll you'll like this. If you've been waiting with baited breath for High King's Tomb's release just be prepared to want the next installlment alll the more after reading it.
