Sorry for the delay in posting the review for the final installment in the Troll Mountain series but unfortunately life got in the way. So the important question that needs to be answered about Troll Mountain Episode three is does it live up to the previous two installments, and the answer is a resounding yes. The action never lets up and we finally learn the secret of the famed elixir that has led our hero to Troll Mountain in the first place. While the story is a fitting conclusion to an epic story, the most interesting thing about the third part is obviously the comparisons between the trolls of troll mountain and the elders of Rafs villiage, especially the cowardly Bader. This was fascinating to see and certainly illustrates the dark side of humanity that is present in us all. Raf remains the hero because he isn't out for himself but rather he is risking everything for the most important person in his life. This is why he's the hero and why we ultimately cheer at his final stand against the villiage at the story's climax.
In all this has been a fascinating serial from the pen of Matthew Reilly and one that has been a joy to read. look forward to his future endeavours with well deserved anticipation. I absolutely recommend Troll Mountain to anyone who loves fantasy and serialized fiction.
Yours in writing
