I'm struggling to write this review. Like the previous 2 in the series this book was really well written and interesting to read. The thing I didn't like was the ending, it was so rushed. There are things that happen in the first chapter of the first book that makes you think of how things are

going to end at the end of the series, the entire series you are waiting for this and at the end of this book, the ending is all summed up in just a couple of sentences.

The book was a build up right to the climax, then within a page or 2 the entire series ended leaving it feeling like there were so many things left unsaid. The ending should have been so much more, and I mean what happened to Didric, after all that build up of what a rival/brat he was over the 3 books in finalized put to rest with like 1 sentence.

So, like WOW. This action packed ending yibthe Summoner series has it all. Just a smidge of l of be, heart pounding , end of your seat , going down a rollerciaater without a lap bar. This was great, though. . . For some reason I couldn't help to think of Lord if the Rings. Not this was anything

Final title in the Summoner series. Old friends and new alliances unite for lots of battle scenes against the evil orcs. Some are lost, others make sacrifices, still others don't step up and are duly rewarded. A satisfying resolution overall to the series.

I liked this one the best out of the series so far, 3 1/2 stars. It was the least ya of the series with fewer of the ya tropes, felt much more like epic fantasy to me.


The last book ended as the group tried to escape the orc lands, and find their only retreat into the demonic ether which is supposed

to be poisonous.

The quest was successful, so the first part of the book covers their escape. Then when arriving back our heroes are again faced with treachery and prejudice. That problem overcome Fletcher inherits his homeland. My favorite part of the book is how they unite a diverse group and rebuild.

Only to have there rebuilding of the town and their hopes destroyed as they are overrun by the orc army.

Finally the most ya like bit of the book, the big bad Khan now armed with a dragon can only be defeated by our hero Fletcher, because he alone is immune to fire.
