I enjoyed the ending to this trilogy and was satisfied with it from a story perspective, but I think the final battles went on a bit too long. It would have rated another star if it wasn't so much of the same battle. The excellent narration got me through them and I did enjoy the book--I wouldn't mind seeing more of this world. ( ) Anthony Ryan... you're on my naughty list this Christmas for ending a series that would have kept me reading for at least a hundred books. Shame. This was an awesome concluding book. I'm madly in love with every character and will be keeping my fingers crossed that we see other stories in the same universe as this one. If you love action and reading a story through multiple perspectives, this series and this book are totally your jam. I loved it. You probably will too. It took me a while to read this book, because it was at times too full of fighting and despair while I needed fun and light reading. In spite of that I enjoyed this series enormously and the story stayed with me even when I wasn't reading. The plot, the characters and the world are great and I will reread this series when there is no pandemic and my need to read light and fluffy things is less. Pros: lots of action, some new revelations Cons: very short epilogue Clay is returning from the South with a new mission to help defeat the white dragon: find a sunken treasure in the Krystaline Lake, deep in dragon country. Lizanne has the tinkerer, but unlocking the Mad Artisan’s secrets isn’t easy, nor is finding safe haven for the growing number of refugees she encounters. Sirus, General of the White dragon’s army of Spoiled, marches his troops across the world, pillaging and ‘recruiting’ as they go under the watchful eye of the insane Catheline Dewsmine. But he’s got a plan to betray his masters once the time is right… If you like your books with lots of action and military campaigns (on land, sea, and sky) then this is the series for you. The action quickly ramps up and the majority of this book is one battle after another. It’s impressive how the characters persevere despite the losses each side takes. It’s also impressive how the author keeps each fight scene fresh, bringing in new tactics and weapons as well as varying the locations and situations. You finally discover who the Mad Artisan is, and see some newly invented war machines. You also learn a little bit more about Kris, though I’d have enjoyed learning more about her people and how they tinkered with the dragons. Normally I like short denouements to books, but while the epilogue does touch on what everyone’s doing after the book ends, I would have liked more details of how they pick up the pieces. The ending is highly satisfying, but it’s hard leaving characters I’ve come to love. This is an excellent series with a highly unique magic system and some excellent worldbuilding and characters. I highly recommend it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"The third book of epic conflicts and arcane intrigue in New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan's Draconis Memoria series. For hundreds of years, the Ironship Trading Syndicate was fueled by drake blood--and protected by the Blood-blessed, those few who could drink it and wield fearsome powers. But now the very thing that sustained the corporate world threatens to destroy it. A drake of unimaginable power has risen, and it commands an army of both beasts and men. Rogue Blood-blessed Claydon Torcreek, Syndicate agent Lizanne Lethridge, and Ironship captain Corrick Hilemore, spread to disparate corners of the world, must rely upon the new powers and knowledge they have gained at great price to halt its forces--or face the end of all they know"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
