Story goes nowhere!
If you haven't read book 3, don't and then don't bother with book 4. The first 2 books of King's Dark Tidings were unbelievably good (I might even say great). Stop there and daydream the rest of the story yourself (you'll do a much better job). Book 3 and 4 are way out in never never land and don't belong to the story. I can only hope that book 5 will start with Res waking up from a dream (nightmare) and resume the story from the end of book 2. If you have read book 3 (I'm sorry - but your with me) then you might as well read book 4. There are a few interesting parts of the story that you might enjoy. I doubt I'll ever trust a series from Kel Kade again. I can only hope that he will put the King's Dark Tidings out of it's misery with book 5. When I started reading King's Dark Tidings I thought is was a trilogy. The series is really 2 different stories. Kel Kade should have made 2 series - KDT and whatever the other story is. I will say that the writing is good and interesting it's just a different story that doesn't go together.
