Jonas's Reviews > The Fall of Koli

The Fall of Koli is the final book in the Rampart Trilogy. It was worth the wait and it ended with a bang! I don’t often read trilogies, but having won book 1 through Goodreads, I gave it a try. I am SO grateful I did. I don’t usually buy books on their release date (b/c I have such a vast TBR list), but I bought (and started) this book the day it came out. I couldn’t put it down!

I loved the alternating perspectives and storylines. Not only was the story full of surprises, but once again, the narration was as well, with the introduction of Monono as a third narrator! I absolutely loved the development and growth of all the characters. Some stayed true to their character, while others transformed.

The pacing is incredible. Truly a page turner. The description of the strategies and battle scenes play out like an action movie. But there is so much more to The Fall of Koli, it also packs an emotional punch. The book explores relationships that have been broken or wounded and the road to some form of acceptance or reconciliation. The ending caught me off guard, but everything to get us there was in plain sight throughout the trilogy. Bravo!

M.R. Carrey is a master of his craft. If you are slightly interested in sci-fi, fantasy, or dystopian fiction, I cannot recommend him enough. I plan on reading everything in his catalogue, and I hope there is at least one of his books that catches your attention. Give it a try. You won’t be sorry.
