Review of The Shadow Throne-Jennifer A. Neilson

The final book in a trilogy that started with the False Prince, this is a thrilling conclusion to a series full of thrills.  King Jaron is facing war, with new enemies cropping up from kingdoms all around him.  He is supposed to marry a princess from another kingdom to secure an alliance, but he's still in love with Imogen, a servant girl, and the princess isn't terribly enthusiastic about the marriage either.  War breaks out, and Jaron must think fast to outwit too many enemies to keep track of.  The series ends with a very satisfying conclusion to espionage & counter-espionage.  4 Elves - Highly recommended for middle grade reader
