And the story goes on and we have a glimpse as to what happened after.
Looks good, even though huge challenges are about to take place.

Set a generation after the main series, something we all wish every author would do, we get to see Vahly and Arc happily married with adult children ready for their own adventures. There are also remnants from the past that return in unexpected ways. That's actually my favorite part, the way magic that was never really explained in books 1-4 connects to and disconnects from the future of the world. But that really won't make sense unless you read it. I do wish it were longer. There are characters I'd like to know better and spend more time with, the way we got to spend time with Vahly and Arc and Nix in the other books. There is also a sense of loss as beloved characters from the previous years are no longer with us. In that way, it's a bit of a bittersweet book, but lovely. It would also be interesting if it served as a prequel to a spinoff series. Anyone else?
I received this audiobook as a gift from the author and have reviewed it willingly.

This continuation of the Dragons Rising series was so much fun! It tells the tale of what happened with all the survivors of the war and what they're doing 100 years later. I'm so glad I got to spend more time with everyone.

This is such a good series! It can easily be read as one long, continuous book with a prologue.
It's a tale of adventure and magic set in the same world as Alisha Klapheke's Enchanting the Elven Mage and Kingdoms of Lore series but I can attest that it can be read without reading either.
Despite being 5 books long, the series is still under a thousand pages but has more world-building than some series 2 and 3 times as long. I really enjoyed Vahly, Arcturus, and Nyx's characters and was intrigued by every encounter with the Sea Kynd. It added extra depth to experience the story unfolding from both Vahly and the Sea Kynd's points of view also.
If you enjoy bingeing a series, this is one is very bingeable!
