This is the final book in the Balance of power series. Its also 6th book in the Godsland series. Fantasy at its best, and enough mild cliff hangers to let you know there is more books to come. Action packed, dragons, tension, twists and turns to keep you hanging onto your seat. I listened to the audiobook of this trilogy and the reader Chris Snelgrove does a great job bringing characters to life. I can't wait for the next trilogy!

There are 9 books. What seemed a bit repetitive at the beginning smoothed out a bit. Good character development, if you can keep track of them all. Worth your time.

Too pessimistic and negative

Series was great! Wish it had ended a little differently but all was good.

This is the sixth in a series and like the others stands well alone. It does leave you in some suspense as all serials do. A book about dragons and supernatural powers: pure escapism!

This one does not go where you think it does. It is a wonderfully constructed dual story line tale that continues where Regent left off. The characters continue to build, the world expands, and the evil that infests it continues to fester.
This book is truly a book of transitions, which allows Brian to shift the focus of the story temporarily from the epic battle of good vs evil to something almost as important - man vs nature in a battle for survival in a hostile environment. The two story lines are nicely contrasted against each other, and the shift from one to the other is seamless, so there is no interruption in the flow of this fast paced tale.
The characters continue to carry their believable traits with them, often making me want to take the new generation out on a subarctic day and douse them in ice water without the benefit of thermal suits. The older generation seems to be settling down for the long haul - persistent refusal to give up, rather than the youthful vibrant efforts of discovering a way out.
Definitely one to read again and again. Well done Brian!

Still love the series. However, really hoping that the story will continue and that Prios and Catrin aren't really dead.
