I love reading about Jaron and his friends. I especially enjoy seeing how he consistently manages to get out of the close scrapes he finds himself in. 

The last 2 chapters were a little rushed. Some of the ally shifts felt unrealistic and merely a convenient way to wrap up the story nicely.

Usually, books in a series get worse and worse as you go along, but this series keeps getting better with each book. There is a beautiful plot that is very entertaining, and you won’t find yourself bored at any point. The characters are very loveable and relatable. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys adventure, sword fights, pirates, kings, queens, and everything in between.
