In the final book of her Pelenor saga, everything finally comes to a head. Book three ended with Harper being reunited with Aedon and most of her other companions, but things have changed drastically since their last meeting. Dimitri returns to Saradon to try to repair the damage he caused, as well as save as many as he can without being caught. But Saradon has been almost entirely overtaken by Valxiron and is no longer in a trusting mood. He is also leading a much greater army than anyone had suspected and cities are left burning in their wake.
Harper's companions split up to pursue different tasks as they prepare for the final confrontation, which according to the prophecy will end in Harper's death. Aedon, Liv, and Aedon's two elfin captors seek the burial ground of the dragons, in hopes that they will be granted an unthinkable request - the dragon heart needed to fulfill the prophecy and defeat Saradon. Brand and Erika leave in search of her people in the hopes of convincing them to turn against Saradon. Ragnor leaves to rally his people. And Harper stays under the nose of Saradon, even after Dimitri's attempt to hide her, so she can ensure the common people are cared for, something none of the nobility seem to care about.
I loved the first three books of the series, but this book outshined them all. The final battle against Valxiron was reminiscent of the final battle in Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, while still being uniquely Pelenor. It was awful and wonderful and everything you would hope for as the powerless find inner strength, draw on ancient laws, and gain unexpected allies. And it's a memorable battle.
I was sad to see the series come to an end, but satisfied with the way it ended. I'm also excited that Meg has promised a spin-off series because I will need something to fill the void soon. I recommend this book and this series to all young adults and regular adults who love epic fantasy. ( )
