The Balance of Power is the third and final book in the Zodiac Legacy. Steven is now in command of the Zodiac group even though his powers have been stripped. Converts who now see that Maxwell is losing his grip on the Dragon power and his sanity have joined their group but don't necessarily like the idea of answering to a 16 year old boy with no military training. At the beginning of this book, Steven is leading them all on a mission to try and rescue Kim and also restore their powers. Steven must find a way to bring all of them together in order to defeat the Dragon, but the former holders of the Tiger power have come to Steven with a vision prophisizing a doom-filled choice that they have all had to make that Steven has yet to face and warn him not to reseek his power. Steven believes that the Tiger power is the only hope of defeating the Dragon and saving the world.

I enjoyed this final volume in the Zodiac Legacy. The story was action packed with lots of dramatic moments involving each member of the Zodiac team and even some still loyal to Maxwell - a well written, quick and engrossing read to top off this interesting series. ( )
