pickI feel like I read an 800 page analogy of how today's major religions are historically intertwined. Shannon's world is divided into 4 sections with different belief systems. With research and plenty of intense adventures, royalty begin to see fallacies of their own culture and begin to forge alliances in order to destroy an evil.
Plenty of suspense, intrigue, strong women, and dragons.
pickI love this book ever so much and not just because Mary‘s decades long care for this family feels terribly wonderfully familiar (but suffice to say if I was a ghost we would not have dissimilar positions). This was a lovely, sorrowful, fantastic continuation of a series I‘m truly enamoured with. I doubt I will ever get tired of finding out what the Price family gets up to next.
The castle seemed to grow from the cliffs that cupped the shoreline. Its jagged-peaked turrets pierced the rain-heavy clouds above; its windows were gaping mouths and gored-out eyes.

My feelings on this book are mixed. I really like this fantasy world established in the previous book-though this goes into an entirely different direction. I like the lovable cast of characters and super cute dragons.
What I struggled with was the romance.⬇️
pickI truly enjoyed dhus book but the same repeated argument does get a bit old to listen too. It's an incredible story but be prepared for some continued arguments. Love this series!
pickI was so excited for this book, and honestly, I was not disappointed. I can see how this type of book can be super boring to most people, but I am exactly the type of nerd that LOVES the minutiae of dragon anatomy and scholarly research and cataloguing, and identification. Lady Trent was a character who felt unique and had a lot of growth as a person through such a short book. There were some points that made me squint, but the book is very-
