I cannot wait to find out what books 4 and 5 have in store for me. Although I am remiss to divulge any spoilers, I'll say that this was the best read I've had it a great long time, and I've read many a book.
These people literally draw you into the story, creating scenes that are wholly authentic. There are characters you will absolutely love, there are characters you will utterly hate, and then there are the ones that you still haven't decided whether you should like them yet (simply because they are so multi-faceted). Another strength of Kearney is the lifelike, believable characters. He keeps the tale on the move, making it nearly impossible to take a break. Kearney avoids hammering the same points over and over. Because this is the third volume of a five-book series, there is only a minimal amount of rehashing the previous events.
He achieves the perfect blend of action and description, and what results is possibly one of the most enjoyable fantasy books I have ever read. With the Iron Wars, there are no such problems. Sometimes, it can be his undoing, as occasionally he spends an exorbitant amount of narrative in situations that don't require it.
Paul Kearney is a top-notch writer, not just by the story he creates, but also the prose he presents. It is a page-turning machine, with more action and intrigue than you can shake a stick at.

Where vol.1 was the satisfactory introduction, and vol.2 the strong buildup, volume 3 goes full throttle. Kearney absolutely outdoes himself with this volume. The Iron Wars, book 3 of the outstanding "Monarchies of God" series by Paul Kearney, is one of those novels that keeps you planted in your chair until you've turned the last page, and then leaves you thirsting for more.
