Publisher's Summary:
Ennek, the son of the Chief, and Miner, a former slave, have escaped the totalitarian city-state of Praesidium and remain fugitives. Having defeated two mighty wizards, they begin to realize complete freedom can be as dangerous as absolute power. Now Ennek and Miner must face battles, corruption, and further journeys through lands both new and familiar.
As they grow more secure in their relationship, they learn the greatest challenges sometimes come from very close to the heart and everything of value has a price. With the help of a few allies, they seek equipoise - a balance for themselves and for their world.

Wow!
This is such a great series. Miner and En are a couple you fall in love with, but this is more than an amazing love story. It speaks to human nature. It shows the dangers that arise when a person possesses too much power, be it magical or political. And it highlights how change is necessary, when that power is used to exploit others. I am sad to see the series end. I would love to read about the adventures the couple face as they work to bring change where it's needed most.
Enjoyable read
Well, their journey has finally come to an end. I really like Ennek and Mine. I feel they were very well matched. They both had stengths that the other helped them see. They both had moments where they felt they weren't good enough for the other. I liked this series, because I feel this is realistic. I feel a lot of people don't give themselves enough credit and second guess themselves sometimes. It takes another person to help them see there true worth.
In this finale, Ennek and Mine are faced with wanting to change Praesidium to be more open. As they are waiting to gather support, Ennek is facing with his own 'inner' demon. Will Mine be able to figure out what is wrong with Ennek in time? Will be he be able to save him? Will they be able to change Praesidium without having people they love dying?
A good conclusion to the trilogy but not great
Wow, what a ride!
Starting with Stasis and then continuing with Flux, Kim sure has taken us on a rollercoaster ride with Ennek and Miner.
What started out as a rather sweet love story between the two male characters, quickly grew into a rather intricate and fully formed fantasy story that challenges some of my thoughts on magic and wizards. I loved the elemental aspects of the trilogy and adored the way Kim's writing flowed sweetly off the page and into my memory.
I have highlighted a number of truly stunning passages from all three books on my kindle and have them shared on my GR profile (if you're interested you can check them out in my quotes section). Kim's talent at writing gay romance is one to rival even the biggest names. So far, my experience of her writing shows she understands the relationships, both emotionally and physically and yet, is able to explore them without graphic details.
If you're new to the m/m romance genre perhaps a sweet, loving trek with Miner and Ennek is the gentle awakening to it that you need.
I felt a little sad to be reading the last pages of this book. It's the end of our journey with the boys (Kim explains in the notes at the end of the book), I had always hoped that there would be more.
