Chris Young reviewed The Sword of Feimhin by Frank P. Ryan (Three Powers, #3)
Review of 'The Sword of Feimhin' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is the third book in the series. It's somewhat different from the previous two, in that most of the action takes place on Earth, in a dystopian London. Anything describing itself as "urban fantasy" is something I'd usually avoid. Thankfully this doesn't describe itself as such, but that's largely what it is - London has been taken over by undesirables, law enforcement has gone out of the window, and only our heroes can fix it (or can they? you'll have to read to find out).
The rest of the book mostly focuses on Kate's ill-advised attempt to save the Momu. In many ways it is the opposite of what is happening in London - few characters, desolate wasteland, a lot of it not real. There was less action here but it seemed to be a more interesting, if simpler, story and not overly critical to the main plot.

Overall I enjoyed it, but not as much as the previous two books. It has set it up for a grand finale in the last in the series though.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
