Excellent conclusion to an incredible series

Revisado: 01-12-25

Truly a unique body of work. Immensely satisfying right until the end. Cannot recommend enough for lovers of magic and of complex characters.

DO NOT READ THIS YET

Revisado: 12-25-24

Loved the book and series, but I would highly recommend pausing this series after book 4 and reading the Embers of Illineil prequel trilogy. There is a slight (but predictable) spoiler by doing so, but this book is a major spoiler for the entire prequel trilogy. Mostly though, reading the prequel first makes this book (which serves as the ultimate conclusion to both series) so much more satisfying!

Such a disappointment for a promising series

Revisado: 05-10-22

Feels like an entire book of filler. Struggling to get through despite loving the prior books.

Not for the “magic-obsessed”

Revisado: 09-22-21

Great story and excellent “bang for your buck” given its three books for one credit. That’s said, as someone really into magic, I kept wanting there to be more. It’s a story with magic but not driven by or even larger about magic in many ways. A good cup of tea, just not “my” cup of tea, as it were.

Refreshingly new take on a common theme.

Revisado: 06-10-21

Pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it, by the end.

Some might feel this book has some parts that you can listen to while doing other things (my new favorite is gardening!), but it’s an entertaining, fresh take on what might seem a played-out genre.

A Necessary Bridge Book, Ignore the Naysayers

Revisado: 03-30-21

I’m so glad I ignored the negative reviews and read this book! True, this is not as riveting nor as surprising as the first book. However, it’s the necessary bridge to continue the story while explaining and setting up the next act. That all said, one critique (or at least forewarning) – For those who have not read the Riyera Revelations trilogy, I would highly recommend doing so before reading this book (even if you have already read Age of Myth). I certainly found the plot twists and development of this book far more rewarding because of what it portends for the “future” described in the subsequent Riyera books set 3,000 years later. Without this facet, it’s definitely less engaging, but still well worth it.

Insightful, Timely, Reasoned

Revisado: 11-03-18

A reality-check for both the pessimists and the optimists.

Thoroughly researched, insightful, and far too relevant to our present circumstances.
