Four-star review of The
Immortal Words by Jeff Wheeler
This is the end of the trilogy about Bingmei’s
efforts to defeat the dragons, especially Echion the Dragon of Night and his
queen, Xisi, and restore the kingdoms he’d conquered. She must go beyond the
Death Wall, accompanied much of the way by her faithful friend, the fisherman’s
son Quion. Several prophecies are involved in her quest, including her visit to
the phoenix shrine and the birth of her child by Prince Rowan. I’ve enjoyed
Wheeler’s books for a long time, but this one seemed to drag in places, and the
ending left so many unfinished plotlines without the promise of a book four or
a second trilogy in this world. Somewhere along the way, instead of Bingmei
being the only Phoenix-chosen, her son is, and did I miss the place where Rowan
developed the ability to transform into a phoenix too?
