Book 3 or five of the Empyrean series. 18 months at the Basigiath War Colloge finds Violet Sorrengail with no more time. War is upon them and enemies are closing in. She must solve the mystery of the other dragon race and travel beyond the wards to do so, seeking allies in unfamiliar lands, testing her strength, will and luck.
Well this was...a bit of a slog. Not sure if it's because I found out after I started reading that this is only book 3 or because it was...a lot of rise and repeat. I mean how long can you drag out the slow demise of a way of life. Oh right we are slowly living it in real life. And how many times will people continue to lie and then put their life in each others hands once that trust will be broken. Or how many times can you repeat a sex scene after two books. I didn't feel like there was character movement, it felt static and like this was just filling pages. Sure there were some "surprises" or twists that weren't completely out of character or weren't foreshadowed.
All in all if your already invested and read the first two, well it's up to you if you want to continue on. I'm most likely going to finish the series at some point.
