The Prince Warriors #3 and the Swords of Rhema by Priscilla Shirer with Gina Ditwiler

My name is Levi, and we've finally received our swords from the mountain of Rhema. It was a treacherous climb, especially when the black dragons attacked us on the skinny ledge, but our weapons will now allow us to attack the agents of evil. The enemy is tricky and finds unexpected ways to spread chaos and confusion. Ruwach has always said we have everything we need to defeat them, but bad decisions have allowed the enemy to pass through portals to earth. Skypods have been popping up around the city, and Ents will attack if anyone finds a way to open them. Manuel's father is determined to do that very thing! I feel like the enemy has something extra devious planned, but I can't figure out what it might be. And, I don't trust that new kid Viktor; he's just too perfect at everything. 


This book concluded the trilogy. The whole plot line was based on a religious theme with the characters constantly being told that they needed to have faith and they had everything they needed. The enemy became stronger when it was able to get characters to question or distrust their faith. It was Levi's turn in this book to have the strongest faith which allowed him to see things the other characters could not. It was interesting how all of the characters had their moments to display the strength needed to help the team succeed. The adult characters were a compelling cast. Levi's father and Brianna's grandfather were warriors, but they were minor characters. Manuel's father entered the story in this book, and he seemed disillusioned with faith due to his wife's death years earlier. This book was the first to fully engage the "normal" humans on earth. The war in Ahoratos finally spilled over into the earth dimension, and the series plot concluded in an exciting battle between the Warriors and the enemy. Once again, it all came down to the characters having faith in the Source and following the guidance from The Book. Sadly, a mainish character was lost. Overall, I've enjoyed the whole series and recommend you give it a shot.
