Another great installment to the Legends of the First Empire series. While not my favorite, Sullivan managed to stir up emotions and keep me invested. Love the hidden gems and the exploration aspect of the series. Looking forward to Age of Death.
Didn't make it to a five star due to the first two parts of the novel. I understand Sullivan needed to fill in a six year time gap between Age of War and Age of Legend, but the division just didn't seem "natural" to me. It felt as if Part I and Part II were added as an afterthought. This made the reading experience slow, since you don't really begin Age of Legend until chapter 9. I think a novella (or a type of supplement) between Age of War and Age of Legend would've worked better.

Goodness gracious, I’m LOVING this series so much. Starting the month reading Age of War and closing it out with Age of Legend was a GREAT idea if I do say so myself. The way this one ended was QUITE dramatic but knowing the name of the next book makes me believe that there is very much a silver lining through all this. I anticipate the next with both trepidation (as there are certain tropes I don’t enjoy when death is concerned) and effervescence.

After being emotionally wrecked by the ending of the previous book, I was excited to see what else I'd be put through.
I really love this series and these characters. There is so much more to this world than we get, everything seems to be very self-contained and "small" right now. I look at the map, and wonder what is going on elsewhere. I hope and suspect that I'll find out eventually.
This book was a bit of a roller-coaster. The book starts shortly after the battle at the end of the previous book, and spans six years of war. I wasn't sure how that was going to work, I read other books that did something similar and character progression didn't make sense or wasn't consistent. That wasn't an issue in this book at all. All the characters are in a place that makes sense.
Suri is a character I am deeply invested in. She might be my favorite character in this series. She's one of the younger characters but she also seems to have the most wisdom out of everybody, even many of the Fhrey who might argue they're smarter because of their long lives. But I think that just makes them even more unaware of what's going on around them.
Tressa, her character is interesting. I didn't expect her character to have this kind of role at this point in the series. I almost expected her character to be a one-off in book one, then maybe die and have no role at some point later in the series. But she's become a very important character and I am excited to see what's done with her character in the next book.
Persephone, dear sweet Persephone. I really hope her sacrifices aren't going to be in vain but I suspect they will be. Even in this book her deeds are being over looked by those outside their camp and credit is given to Nyphron. (I still hate him by the way)
She has given up so much, I just hope that she gets to have some happy years with her son.
There are so many characters that play such a large role in this book it's hard to cover all of them and avoid spoilers. I just hope none of them have a tragic death.
