By: Benjamin Medrano

Having rocked the world via high magic that was believed lost, the dungeon Sistina has shown her power at last, as she has done everything in her power to protect those that she loves. Crowned queen of the new city of Beacon, Phynis Constella is searching for allies as full-scale war erupts between her homeland of Sifaren and the fell nation of Kelvanis.

Each side must use everything in their power to defeat the other, but with the threat of the goddess Tyria looming, there can be only one victor. Long-waiting plans at last are rising to a head, and even Sistina is uncertain of whether or not she can survive them. But for her beloved Queen, she is willing to risk anything.

This is the final chapter of the Ancient Dreams Trilogy.

The character development

So many new and interesting characters got more of the spotlight which I found refreshing. When new character is introduced, a lot of times they get pushed back as background characters, and you tend to forget about them. It was not in this case. I found the new characters played the primary role and were brought to the forefront as much as the primary characters. I would recommend this book if I need to see how proper character is introduced and developed.

Pretty good but one big problem

Loved the characters loved the end my only issue is that there is way too much rape swept under the rug like it tries but it talks about such a terrible thing in such a casual way, and without the weight and disgust of the action, just felt like the plot used it as narrative gag idk
