Like with the first 2 books in this series I’m left saying: Wow!!
This series has an unusually large cast of protagonists. This is the final book & everything would be beyond hope if it wasn’t for the fact that they serve the higher power that is hope.
There are several storylines that intertwine, but the author lists the main protagonist and location at the beginning of each chapter so it’s easy to follow. There is also a glossary in the back, if need be.
Each book is named after the havarra (talking, warring animal) that partners with the main protagonist of the story. For this one, it’s Connor, the shepherd that became the leader of his class when they reopened the lightraider academy. His havarra is a lion who not only fights beside him but helps him find healing from some generational failings.
We get to see that first class finally graduate after bringing an end to the war. In this book, the enemy has breached the barrier and entered their land. The push his invaders back and they do this by defeating greater foes, finding an ancient weapon, learning new skills (gliding from the airships), making a new ally, saving the lost and all while refusing to kill the aladoth [unsaved] that are being manipulated to fight against them.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ENTIRE SERIES!!
I love the fact that there is an RPG game that goes with it and was designed to disciple teens. Wait for it: players get extra wisdom points for quoting scripture from memory! The game also goes deeper into what the dark creatures, orc , goblins, represent.
