Rendition As Books The Oracle's Queen (Tamír Triad #3)
Under the rule of a usurper king, the realm of Skala has suffered famine, plague, and invasion. But now the time for the rightful heir has come, a return to the tradition of warrior queens. And the Lightbearer's prophecy is to be upheld at last: so long as a daughter of the royal line defends and rules, Skala will never be subjugated.Now a mystical fire has burned away the male body known as Prince Tobin, revealing Princess Tam�r, a girl on the verge of womanhood-and a queen ready to claim her birthright after a life in disguise under the protection of wizards and witches. But will her people, her army-and the friends she was forced to deceive-accept her? Worse, will the crown's rival heir, friend to Tobin, turn foe to Tam�r, igniting civil war in a fierce battle for Skala?

The first two books in the series ("The Bone Doll's" Twin and "The Hidden Warrior") were great reads. They followed the standard medieval, sword and sorcery formula, with enough conflict and obstacles thrown in to keep the reader interested. However, "The Oracle's Queen" seemed out of sequence, and probably would have done better as the second book instead of the last. The relationship between Tamir and Ki developed nicely, but the story tended to be overtaken by secondary characters such asI thought The Tamir Triad was excellent. I must forewarn that the books should be read together because they really do form one story, not three stories that tie together. I really liked the pacing of the story. With the exception of a rather lengthy discussion of the main villain's youth in the third book, it never lets up. Every action leads to the next in a realistic way.I especially like how Flewelling dealt with the concept of gender identity, sexuality and growing up. Her protagonist is
You know a book is great when you feel sad once you finish it.- well, right now, I'm devastated.This book is everything I was hoping for since volume one, and somewhere in my mind I'm building Lynn Flewelling a shrine for making my wishes come true in both expected and unexpected ways.As fellow Tamir-Triad-readers, I am also already missing all the loyal characters.
I just finished this book yesterday while I loved practically everything about it, I was disappointed with one thing which I've read from other reviews, is a similar complaint. I wish Lynn went more into Tamir and Ki's relationship more after the war and it was a bit weird how Ki so easily got over the whole 'she's' not Tobin' thing. I really wish there was more Arkoniel as well because I just love the wizards Lynn made for her series and Arkoniel and his adorable apprentice would have to be one
The perfect ending to a great trilogy. In some ways it felt stretched, but it was all worth it in the end for Tamir (formerly Tobin) and Korin's final battle. Also, the author did not shy away from showing how strange it must be to have your best friend suddenly change gender in front of you. Ki and Tamir's relationship is wonderfully complicated and angst-filled.
I forgot I read this series a few years back and LOVED it. Definitely one of my faves.
I must point out that overall I would give the whole series 4-5 stars. I just find this book to be weak.Let me start with what I didn't like. I found it strange that a book that is, in part, about a woman's strength, only has one young woman. While the two older woman, who had larger parts in the first two books, are well protrayed, Tamir is surronded by men and boys in this last book. This makes sense because she used to "be" a boy. Flewelling, however, brings back Una, but gives her such a
