There isn't much I can say specifically about this book because it's a series and you need to read them in order. What I will say is that Renee continues her incredible lyrical story-telling with rich stories, backgrounds, character development, mystery, intrigue, and world-building. The last 100 pages, like each one before, is a wild, heart-pounding ride. I lost sleep over this book because I just needed to keep reading!

Well, this was a much darker book than the others. A lot happens which each member of the cabal. We get more POVs in this book.

Ashe is one of my favorites and I loved seeing her learn from her mistakes and become this amazing fierce person who wants to do what’s right in heart and not listen to those who tell her otherwise. She has a lot of back and forth, but in the end the good always wins. Then we get to see from Tati’s POV and I am all about that! Her and Quill, such a great team and seeing them grow as a team and as friends was emotional but so good. And then Cistine who is still learning about herself and what she can do, and now having to go through some quite traumatic experiences, and having to learn to be an even stronger person. I love how they all come together to help each other no matter where they are, or who they’re with, they’re always there for each other, just like a family should be.

This poor cabal goes through so much in this book, and after that ending, can’t imagine what more is in store for them. Quill is my favorite and he needs to be okay, forever. And I’m super excited to read about Ashe and Maleck in the next book, FINALLY.

This series has been amazing from the beginning, but somehow every book gets better?! I don’t know how Renee does that, but I’m here for it. Many more heartbreaking moments, but man I just loved everything about this book. So powerful!

"I will follow you always, Wildheart." He traced the curve of her cheek with his thumb, forging a glowing path in the darkness. "With my whole heart. For my whole life."

I’m not ready for what’s to come

An epic adventure that shows how far people are willing to go for love, not just for one person, but for a group, a people, and a kingdom. R. Dugan's prose draws the reader in to face the intrinsic feelings a person is bound to have in their lifetime, and come out stronger after facing them. Nightwing was a stunning, eloquently written third installment to The Starchaser Saga. I laughed, cried, reddened in anger, and felt queasy with rage and horror. I loved getting to know the cabal in an even deeper sense, and seeing them all confronting their feelings and traumas, much like I am learning to do. Thorne and Cistine bring me so much hope, and I cannot wait to delve into Book 4.

Incredibly thrilling, heart-wrenching, and an emotional rollercoaster, Nightwing is a masterpiece of high fantasy. Renee does it again with a story that leaves you holding your breath until the very last page. Youll become more invested in each character, all of which are well fleshed out. Every word plays out like a movie in my mind, making Renee's writing style one of my favorites. Onto the next adventure in the Starchaser saga!
