The first part of the book was passable, but everyone was completely ruined by the ending. It was rushed, chaotic, and confusing. It felt like it belonged to a completely different book, and didn't match any of the previous content. I said before that I wanted to see more of the Red Queen. I meant that I wanted answers, not a last-minute, unexpected appearance at the very end. And Rayg is evil now? Or is he Anklemere? How? And the Lavadome is a spaceship? None of it makes sense! It was kind of alluded to in this book, but the kind of reveals we got need to be set up properly throughout the series.
On top of that, there were lots of continuity errors and poor writing, of the sort that makes you wonder if the book was edited at all. Especially toward the end.
This series could have ended after book 3, maybe with a 4th to wrap up any remaining loose threads and reunite the dragon siblings. Honestly, I think one could be quite satisfied if they simply stopped after book 3 or 4 and pretended these last books didn't exist.
