The Dragon War #3
A Memory of Fire
Darkness covers Requiem. The cruel Cadigus family, usurpers of the throne, rule with an iron fist. The Resistance, a band of desperate rebels, lies smashed and scattered. Hope fades. Some say it is utterly lost. Bloodied, the Resistance hides in distant lands. Most of its fighters lie dead. One of its leaders, captured in battle, suffers torture in the dungeons of Cadigus. Old Requiem seems like nothing but a dying dream, a memory of fire and starlight. Yet even in the darkest night, the embers of defiance glow. The last few resistors muster. Rising as dragons, lighting the sky with fire, they fly to their last stand -- an attack on the capital itself. _______________ THE REQUIEM Dawn of Dragons Book 1: Requiem's Song Book 2: Requiem's Hope Book 3: Requiem's Prayer Song of Dragons Book 1: Blood of Requiem Book 2: Tears of Requiem Book 3: Light of Requiem Dragonlore Book 1: A Dawn of Dragonfire Book 2: A Day of Dragon Blood Book 3: A Night of Dragon Wings The Dragon War Book 1: A Legacy of Light Book 2: A Birthright of Blood Book 3: A Memory of Fire Requiem for Dragons Book 1: Dragons Lost Book 2: Dragons Reborn Book 3: Dragons Rising Flame of Requiem Book 1: Forged in Dragonfire Book 2: Crown of Dragonfire Book 3: Pillars of Dragonfire Dragonfire Rain Book 1: Blood of Dragons Book 2: Rage of Dragons Book 3: Flight of Dragons

What an epic finale! The resistance has scattered and is doing their best to regroup and come up with a plan. Anything they come up with is likely going to be suicide though. This tale depicts the lengths an oppressed people will go through to overthrow an evil tyrant. They realize that Requiem will never be at peace until Frey Cadigus is gone, along with his regime.
They've retreated to an island, and everything seems at peace. During their exploration, they discover that certain secrets of the past are not lost and their hope is refueled for the fight at hand. The resistance flies towards certain death, with the slim hope of success. The battle for Requiem will end in much tears, but will Requiem finally be free? Or will Frey succeed in overthrowing and gaining total control?
The characters throughout this series have grown and changed and struggled with who they are/what they are becoming. Requiem as we loved it from the past two trilogies has been torn apart.

I really enjoyed this book, and I'm a little sad the saga is over. This is the first saga that I've read that was this long and that I've read start to finish, so I'm looking forward to Daniel's other books.

*****SPOILER WARNING*****
Disliked: Shari's ending. She was such a vicious character I was hoping her end would be a lot more dramatic or action packed. I sort of wished she fell in battle instead. Loved her as a villain.
Liked: Everyone else's ending. The whole time I was getting the vibe Rune wouldn't make a very good king being a prisoner and missing out on leading his team. I'm glad everyone ended up where they belonged. Fitting end.
The rising tensions and the way everyone seemed to be losing their minds as the final battle drew closer made this book such a great finale for the trilogy. Explosive final battle and vivid imagery just like the previous books.

The Dragon War (book three)
I really loved reading the three books in this series. The characters are well developed and the plot kept me involved to the end . I would highly recommend this book.
