Weis and Hickman still have the spark that has helped them sell so many of their books in a very saturated market.
I know I was hard on the previous books in the series, but I felt like the final book capped off the adventure well. There were still parts that were predictable, there were still characters that make you want to pull your hair out. But this is a story about good triumphing over evil and over all obstacles in the way, and I liked it. I liked how you feel for the characters and emphasize with their hardships and what they had to overcome and I liked how it all closed out. I can't say much more without spoiling it, but I'm glad I stumbled across it in the library, and I'm glad I decided to read all the way to the end. The final book made up for many of the shortfalls found in the previous books.

This concludes the Dragonships of Vindras series. The story starts immediately where the last book ended. Skylan was struck down by his cousin Raegar when Skylan and Aylean, with their companions escaped from Raegar's pursuit.
I felt this book was hurried. The good things about it, include, but not limited to: Introduction to the fire plane, history about the Gods, background information about the world.
The bad things, I felt was
the lack of character development among the protagonists.
The book is filled with stories of action, warfare, betrayal, revenge, love and sacrifice. I felt it was rushed and parts of it could have been expanded to one more book.
However, it provides a satisfactory conclusion to the series.
