The Empire of Ashes by Anthony Ryan

4.0

Wow. That was an ending! The third and final book in THE DRACONIS MEMORIA is definitely the most epic in the trilogy. There was barely a moment to breathe as the heroes moved through the world waging a desperate war against the drakes. Honestly, there were points where I didn't think anyone would survive! That said, I'm really satisfied with this ending. All the arcs were fulfilled for our main characters, and of everyone, I have to say that Lizanne was at her most intense. Seriously, I knew she was hardcore, but she went into absolute BEAST MODE for this finale. There were lots of surprises, drama, and emotional character deaths, and I'm truly going to miss the few that managed to make it out alive. This was a fantastic fantasy series and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure, steampunk fantasy, or alternative dragon lore to their summer. You won't be disappointed!
