After the explosive ending of Book 3 regarding Marci and Amelia I started reading Book 4 immediately. I loved this installment even more than Book 2 which is saying something. We get to see two separate part of the story taking place at the same time but in two different dimension from Julius's and Marci's POV. We learn more about Chelsea's past and about the F clutch dragons also the relationship between Chelsea and them and the reason for the concealment of their dragons. Moreover we get to meet the Golden Emperor and how his luck magic works. We also get more of Bob, his pigeon and his cryptic shenanigans which was an awesome treat for me. On the other realm we learn more about the lost magic and Ghost and the overarching plot regarding Leviathan and Algonquin's ultimate plan. We meet DFZ in the flesh which was so shocking and Myron gets his due at the end which made me very happy.

This installment is the best in this series so far. This is full of action, suspense, mystery as well as the development of familial and romantic relationships of our favourite characters. I'm so sad that I've only the last installment to read now. I'm gonna miss these guys so much. Hopefully I will be doing more rereads of this series in the future.

P.S. - I loved the audio narration very much. Adding Vikas Adam to my Favourite Audiobook Narrators' List!
