Despite not a lot happening in almost 400 pages, I liked it. It felt very much like a setup book. I wish we'd gotten more of Malcolm and Nyphron, and that basically the one scene of Persephone we got wasn't about
her weeping after Raithe

"What a strange treasure is innocence, a virtue to the old
and a curse to the young, so highly prized but eagerly
parted with—the riches of beautiful skin traded for the
wisdom of calluses."


I took the time to read the author's note which informed us of how the last three books was more like a three act play and the whole new direction it will take, so the cliff hanger ending didn't bother me much. Age of Legend indeed was different than the predecessors. If you have been a fan of the series and has been invested in the characters' journey, you could actually felt the sharp turn at the road, the subtle change in tone and replacing and reshaping of the stories direction. I am not still sure how I feel about that, but I hope it will turn out great, because I have loved everything written by Sullivan all these time. On to the next then.

"Kindness is often as simple as seeing what others choose to ignore."

"Sometimes our need to believe blinds us to reality, and sometimes seeing reality blinds us to what we need to believe."
