Go back and reread the letters from the very beginning when you're finished, they make way more sense!
I loved the story telling style of this book! I love every one of these idiots. I would protect Talea with my life!

Highlights of this series:
-It has all types of sexuality and genders & gives really great explanations of it without being preachy all within the storyline as a difference in cultures between the countries.
-Different Gods/Immortals than the other fantasy novels you pick up. Though, yes there are two vampires but they eat souls rather than blood.
-The story is told as a report from various points a view sort of like a diary with commentary thrown in.
-Villains you love to hate.
-The underdog pervails.
Dislikes:
-While I still really like the storyline of this series, the way the story is told in this last book is difficult to follow. At least while listening to the audiobook. Maybe the print version shows what landscape/person the story is being told from per page?
-No good sex scenes.

I swear to God this series gets better and better. Book 4 was very very emotional. This book dealt with emotions of almost all the characters, something that was always visible in the previous books but not dealt with in-depth. This book also answers a few questions that plagued me before.
One book left and it's going straight to the wire. Gods, dragons, engineering, magic, reincarnations and demons, what else can you ask for?

This 4th installment in A Chorus of Dragons took me forever to get through. It felt more like 800 pages than 500 and it makes me wonder what the word count actually is.
While there is no doubt this is the most complex series I’ve read- this has been the hardest of the books to follow. The back and forth narrative featured in other books continues- but with new character POVs. Galen, Talea, Xivan, Kalindra being the most prevalent; while still getting Kihrin, Janel and Teraeth stories mixed in from a current timeline- much of which is happening within the mind another character.
All that said, it was still an interesting story to follow, especially now that we know so much about the world and everyone’s past lives. I wish I had more of the concentration required to have focused on this book and read it in a more timely manner. I feel like it would’ve been easier to follow. If it was the only book I was reading at the time.
