Crystal Kingdom

This is the 3rd book to the Kanin Chronicles. Bryn was kicked out of Dolstom in the last book Ice Kissed. She doesn't really have any place to go but she runs into Konstantin Black and teams up with him after he tells her what really happened the night he attacked her dad. He then tells her that Mina (the Dolstom queen) is evil and she recruited Kemnet to help her, is the one that is leading an attack out of revenge, seeks power at all costs, and she is behind everything. She will do anything including starting a war.
     They go see the Omete tribe for help. The Omete tribe are huge giants and ogres. The Omete tribe live in Louisiana. After a few days being locked up in a cell they are released. They find out later the Omete teamed up with Mina. They then went to Forening the capital of the Tyrelle tribe to get the queen to grant her amnesty. She does grant her amnesty. They stay with Finn, who is Ember's brother, and his family. Bryn goes to Iskyla, a really isolated city in the far North where Mina was born and lived for a short time, that is very desolate and isolated. She goes to see Mina's sister and finds out that Mina is Victor's daughter. Mina has Dolstom on lock down. Ridley and Tilda escape from Dolstom and they find Bryn.
      Mina declared war on the Skojare people because she wants their jewels. Bryn decided to go to Stravatten, the capital of the Skojare tribe, and help them train for war. The Tyrelle and the Vittra tribes come to help Skojare. The Tyrelle tribe have psychokinesis, and fire abilities. The Vittra tribe are hobgoblins that are stronger than the other tribe, are quick tempered, and aggressive. The queen put on a masquerade ball. Bryn got to dance with Ridley. Mina poisoned the king and blamed it on Bryn and Konstantin. She found out that Ridley was tortured by Mina after he helped her escape. During the ball some of the guards that were guarding the perimeter were attacked including Konstantin. After the attack Konstantin, Bryn, Tilda, Ridley, and a bunch of other people from Stravatten went to Dolstom. They were attacked on the way and then they camped outside of the city. Before the war began they went into the city to rescue their family members. During the rescue Bryn went back to rescue Ember because she wouldn't come with them and she gave her the letters she wrote. Ember was later killed saving her lover. During the family rescue Ridley was captured. The war started after that and they entered the city. After fighting for awhile she went to the place with Konstantin to rescue Ridley. He was inside a bird cage like in Splintered series in when Alice was captured and stuck in a bird cage her whole life. Mina wanted Konstantin to run away with her but he wouldn't go so she killed him. Bryn kills Mina, and rescues Ridley. After Bryn kills Mina the city is in shambles. Linus Berlin becomes the new king. Then they had a ceremony for the dead. Bryn got the people to clear Konstantin's name and he was regarded as a hero. Ridley stepped down form his position so he could be with Bryn and now he commands the trackers. Ridley and Bryn get to live happily after after. Bryn gets to become the king's personal assistant, and tracker. She is accepted fully into the Kanin society and gets an award for saving everyone.
      This was a great conclusion to the trilogy. I loved it. The only thing I didn't like was killing Ember, she was Bryn's best friend, and killing Konstantin. He really grew on me and what he said when he was killed was heart wrenching.
