At the end of [[Firemask]], the second book in Chris Bunch's ''Last Legion'' series, there seemed to be only one direction the series could go in. Throughout the previous two books, Protector Redruth of Larix and Kura has been a floating menace and the Legion needs to take care of the threat he poses.
That said, having followed and enjoyed the series so much this far, I'm reluctant to stop until it does. There may seem to be less to look forward to, but there is still something to follow and I can't resist taking that next step. The story may not be blowing up the storm it was at the start, but it's still got enough force to encourage me onwards.
