3.5
Wow, I still don't know what to think! I'm gonna go with 3.5 stars because of all the typos. Most weren't horrible, but a few had me re-reading phrases. And this is so long! I still don't know whether I'm happy or not about that because it was slightly annoying while I read it but at the same time I was dreading the end of the book yet I just wanted to know what happens.
The book did a great job wrapping up all the loose ends from the series prior, but it also did an amazing job at leaving me with more questions. Now I just want a novella about what happens in Eden and another series on Dragon's rule over the Redlands (a nice long one please, maybe 'till the end of her days?). And a novella on what happens to Myrium (though I guess that could be cover in the series on Dragon's rule) and also I want to know if they ever use the beforetime computermachines to build communications between all the lands, and I also want to know where the white-faced lords came from in relation to the Redlands and such.This is what happens when I'm left with an open ending... At least mostly everyone seemed happy enough or at least they got enough closure for whatever they wanted.
This book did Dragon justice though, and that I'm thankful for. She has always been my favourite character and the one I sympathized the most with.
The ending got me and I feel like it was a bit dramatic and unnecessary for. Sure, it was a reward, but I think she should have and could have stayed.
I believe that's it.

A fitting end to this epic series: a satisfying adventure that ties everything up but leaves room for another book should Carmody choose. Fingers crossed she does.

kind of a disappointing end to a series i loved so so much. i've been reading it for nearly a decade, but most of this book fell flat for me, especially the ending which felt a bit forced. overall it was good, and there were definitely some great moments in there.

Its been over a decade since I began this series and today I finally brought it to a close.
While the end of this book both confused me and left me slightly dissatisfied, I also am very glad that I finally got to see this magnificent and wonderful journey through.
