It doesn’t happen often. If it does happen, I’m feeling like patting myself on the back for finishing a book series. It leaves me kind of sad but also accomplished to close this chapter after re-reading the first two so I can finish it with the third one. The Review of the other two books you can find here:
#1 – Five Broken Blades (now included in Kindle Unlimited)
#2 – Four Ruined Realms
Synopsis:
Some betrayals cut deeper than blades.
The Blades were never supposed to survive this long. But after the battle in Quu Harbor, escaping is no longer enough. The most dangerous liars in the four realms have one last mission―return to Yusan and finish what they started.
But now a usurper sits on the serpent throne. And he may be more dangerous than the god-king.
With three relics of the Dragon Lord in their possession, the Blades will face the might of the four realms. Enemies will become allies. Allies will become traitors. And the ones they love most? They’ll be the ones to break them.
Grief will carve the Blades into something ruthless and unrecognizable. But only by losing everything can they win this game of kings and crowns.
Review:
We’re moving through a lot of locations in this one. Overall, I had the feeling that we were picking up speed to come to an end, while still allowing our main characters to run into troubles, have time for them to interact and connect and fight a lot of battles.
Not trusting each other completely but relying on everyone having a common goal and coming together at the end was and is the main drive here and it clearly showed in some of the interactions. After all this time I got connected to them and didn’t want it to end while knowing, that a happy end is not in the cards for all of them. We and the characters were allowed to say goodbye to some of their past while allowing others to move on.
The writing remains rather simple and it it very easy to follow along. Overall, I enjoyed the series a lot and while it will not be the best series I’ve ever read, I enjoyed it overall and it kept me entertained.
