This was a good ending but it was hard. There were so many strings that I wanted to follow is this story and I don't feel that we got see enough of them. I have questions and there weren't any answers.

As I read Flamebringer right after Dragon Shadow, it's hard to review the 2 books apart. The story continued straight after the events in Dragon Shadow and carried on to complete the great plot that started in book 1. It's a very short book and lacks everything simply because everything has been set out in the previous 2 books, the world building, the mystery, the budding romance, the growing husband and wife relationship, everything has been set into stone so there was very little development in this book. It's just a good conclusion to the grand story of an epic battle against the great unknown evil. What struck me the most was how sad it is. For a story of an epic battle, it is very depressing and dwells so much in the lost, the scars, the sacrifice. The only thing good left is the love between Aliza and Alastair.

This trilogy caught me by the ankles and dragged me across the cobblestones!!!!!!!! A great conclusion that didn’t pull punches, though I would love some kind of epilogue set ten years later to check in on everyone. I love love loved Aliza and how she was allowed to have ugly feelings.

I needed to know the ending, but had a hard time with parts of the story. The long build up was needed, but made it a bit tedious for me. The ending left me sad. Even though the evil is ended, the price was very high and there is no feeling of triumph.

Paperback owned - A good wrap up to the trilogy. I feel like it tied up nicely and still had some twists I didn’t expect.
