This book was beyond doubt the most emotional one for so far. I mean…I’m more emotional unstable than before

This book BROKE MY HEART!! This series is honestly so so amazing, I haven’t fallen in love with a new fantasy series in what feels like forever! I am so so happy to be reading this and I can’t wait to see how it all wraps up in the final book! These characters really are so special and I’m just having such a good time

After finishing the forth book in the Medoran Chronicles, I would like to take a moment to reminisce on my journey.
Akarnae wasn't easy for me. I had to struggle through clumsy beginning and suffered from a lot of information being dumped on me. Also, I needed some time before Alex started to grow on me. The I needed to come to terms with the fact, that this series will not give me unexpected turns of plot, as they will be seen from mile away. But nothing good comes without price.
Raelia was much easier for me to read. I was already invested in story and curious what's going to happen with my already beloved characters. But with all series numerous drawbacks, I am willing to forgive everything for this crazy humour.
Draekora came out just out of nowhere. That was the first time where plot managed to surprise me and I loved it. Well, not all of it as only some things were unexpected as others were so painfully obvious, that it hurt a bit to read - but again, humour, characters and their relationships were so much worth it.
Graevale came next and I hadn't been able to peel myself from it. This book was such a crazy combination of fun and bitter moments and I actually regret that I already finished it. That was emotional roller-coaster for sure.
I can officially call myself a masochist as now I need to suffer waiting for Vardaesia and hoping that I will love it no less than previous books.
P.S. See, book series can still be written without love triangles and bitchy characters making the most part of drama.

My heart hurts.
This books was a delight in adventure, as those before it have been, but it reached an emotional level I wasn’t prepared for. The themes of friendship always run strong throughout these books, but this one... oh boy. Grief, loss, and hope—that is what this book leaves you with.
High praise for the characters Lynette Noni created in these books, especially a certain favourite (
