My Review

What a fantastic, action packed book in what has been such a fun series to read! Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down.

I have enjoyed each book in this series and this last book did not disappoint. We get to follow along with all the characters again as they gear up and then fight in their battles to save their realm. Daemus, Kaja, Ritter and Princess Addilyn are my favorites but they each bring something special to the story. I liked how the author took his time and told the story of each group of characters. The story flows smoothly so we get read about them all at different times throughout the book. The epic battles and then the big one at the end, wow! There is a bit of romance thrown into the plot along with lots of action and suspense. The friendships from past books and the new friendships formed made the story even better.

I was on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end and felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotions. The author did such a great job of tying up all the stories and then leaves us with a bit of a mystery at the end. I am hoping that this is not the end of the story after all. I would love to read more books with these characters. This e-book was provided to me for review. This did not affect my review in any way.
