Wow. Just wow. This was a fantastic conclusion to this series, I cried, laughed and gasped. The twists, the heartbreaks! I just have no words. This is one of the best series I’ve ever read and I will recommend to everyone who will listen!

I can honestly say I’m in love with this series. You know how people LOVE the Harry Potter series and are completely obsessed with it to the point where it has consumed their entire existence? Yeah well that is exactly how I feel about the medoran chronicles. Vardaesia is possibly one of the best finales I have ever had the pleasure of reading. If someone offered me a ticket to Medora, CYA because I’ll be staying there forever!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG. WHAT AN EPIC ENDING TO THE SERIES. LOVED IT!!!!!!! the entire time while reading this book i was hooked. completely hooked. i loved it so much. i was sobbing, screaming, giggling, yelling, all emotions came out of me. i cannot stress how good this book was. why was it so damn good. the plot was the best thing ever. i loved the idea and thought i was very creative.

the challenges were fire and had me hooked so much. i love things like that so of course i was in love while reading all the challenges. i loved the idea of choosing between three gates and then doing a challenge within that topic of the gate. so cool.

how the book flowed and what happened blew my mind away. the secrets that were gradually reveled had me screaming. ahhhhhhhhh. i swear it was like a slow burn book the pain i felt while waiting for certain things to happen. what the hell. i could not believe how well done this book was written. what an amazing end. the characters and how the grew.  i am dying. they were all amazing. Alex, Kaiden, Bear, Jorden, Declan, Zain, Roka. i love you guys so much. you will forever be in my heart. how the characters were written was just out of this world.

Kaiden and Alex's first kiss. i literally died, i am in love. at first i was not on board with the whole idea of them being together but after reading the entire series, what the hell was going through my mind. those two are a match made in heaven. i love them as a couple and they are so cute together. Jorden and DC are also a lovely couple but i think my baby Jorden can do better. like i would so ship Jorden and Alex, i would die if they got together.

i love Declan's involvement in the book and the role he played. i thought he was amid character and now i love him, he is such a great friend to Kaiden and let's be real, he is so funny. Him and Bear carry. Zain once again slayed and is such a beautiful character. he is so hot in my mind and i would so smash him if given the chance. i love the attitude he brings to the book and how he trusts Alex with his heart. he is such an amazing character. i am in love with him.

i was so happy when Roka came back to life and him, and Alex hugged. i had tears in my eyes. see idk why, but i formed a relationship with Roka straight away and fell in love with him. there was just something about him that made me become so attituded but idk what that was.

all the characters just have my heart. Xira and Soraya were amazing. they had my heart too. what lovely protectors they were.

now let's not forget the best character of all, my baby and favorite. NIYX. OMG, when he came back and talked to Alex i was sobbing i was dying of tears drowning in my own tears. i was full of joy, i was so damn overjoyed. when niyx died i died with him now hearing him talk again. the pain but full of happiness. it was all there. i swear that was my favorite part of the book. also, her talking to everyone else that had fallen in battle too, bear's dad, lady mystique. it was the best time of my life. buy niyx forever and always, in the stars and in my god damn heart.

now Aven, what to do with you. kill you, the damn, horrible stupid person you are. all love i had for you is gone. i hate you with everything i have got. i want to smash your head in. people that like you, i just don't understand at all.

personally i think what you got at the end of the book was undeserved. i don't care if people think that going into a painting to live but not really and have to deal with all your guilt and life problems is sufficient. i would have killed you right there and then, you don't deserve to live, you deserve to DIE. just die already.

the pain and tears that i cried throughout this book was crazy. i cried 7 times. 7 god damn times. like what the hell. who. who cries that much while reading a book. well apparently me. but the times i was crying were so valid. sometimes it was because of sadness, other times because of joy other times because of frustration. there were so many scenes that were worthy of tears. so many. i got so frustrated at some of the characters choices and decisions that they made throughout the book, i wanted to throw them of a cliff sometimes. like Jorden, like what the hell are you doing buddy what is coming over you to make you say this and do this. seriously boy, snap out of it, like right this second. now the ending of this book. omg. it was like, what the hell did i just read. tears were everywhere.

when xira died. i was screaming full of tears and then when stupid horrible Aven decided to eat the damn heart of xira, and was like, want to know what happens when you eat a drakons heart. i screamed. my soul left my body, completely. and then kaboom, the world explodes Kaiden jumps in front of Alex to save her and then everyone, literally everyone is dead. ahhhhhhhh i was kicking, screaming, crying.  pain. when someone asks you so describe pain, i say read the end of vardaesia, that's what pain is. but then she goes to Authora or whatever his name is, he is the gate of timekeeper and then he sacrifices himself for the good of the world and then Alex goes back in time and saves everyone. phew. xira was alive and so was everyone else. my soul finally came back to me.

what an epic ending to a book. i could not have asked for anything better. draekora is still my fav but vardaesia comes in a close second because of all the emotion and feelings in this forsaken book. after finishing the series my top 5 characters would have to be niyx, bear, alex, zain and kaiden, but jorden and roka come in a close ties position of 6th place. i beg you guys to read this book and die with me. it was so good and i will never be able to move on from it.
