Excellent finish to this series. Events in this one pick up right after The Queen Is Dead. Good mystery regarding Ali and who or rather, what, she is. The big bad gets a fitting end.

Long Live The Queen is the third and final book in The Immortal Empire trilogy by the fantabulous Kate Locke.

So this is it, we've finally come to the ...more
