Oh dear God. Curtis Jobling just Mass Effect 3'd my ass.
Having reached the sixth and final book, I can confidently say that Wereworld is a series of 5.5 good books.
Let's get the good stuff out of the way, and there is a lot of good here, because I have a major bone to pick about the ending.
First off, Hector's story comes to a close here, and it is absolutely wonderful. I don't want to give anything away, but it was an immensely heart warming end, and I just loved it. Best part of this book.
Seeing the war conclude, too, was very satisfying. There's a lot of great fights, clever planning on our heroes' part, and it gets ruthless- it gets very Song of Fire and Ice-y on you when Jobling starts chopping off characters.
But let's touch on that ending. SPOILERS ALERT: I'm giving away the ending here, because every part of Drew's story's end has me very upset.
So, again- SPOILERS:
Drew is somehow humbled because the big bad is taken down by three side characters- and for some BIZARRE reason, the reason Drew is so humbled is because they're human. Maybe I missed something, but... DREW is human. ALL the Werelords are human. I have no earthly idea why the Werelords, even after the final battle, consider themselves separate from humans. You don't see this anywhere else in fantasy- just because a human has an ability that others do not, it does not make him something else besides human. That's usually the moral- instead of bashing on mages or shape-shifters, or what have you, you're supposed to learn we're all human. But no. Everyone still acts like the werelords are an entirely different race, and just... wrong. If the werelords- ALL the werelords, not just Drew- were humbled and realize we're all the same, werepowers or not, THAT would have been a good ending. But now we're getting to the part that really grinds my gears- Drew turns down the throne. Not only does he abdicate as King, the thing he spent the past FIVE BOOKS GETTING TO, who gets to rule in his place? Duke Bergan? Gretchen? Hector, even? No. No one rules, because he also abolishes the monarchy and sets up a Republic in less than five months. Uh, bullcrap, because in real life and history, switching from a Monarchy to a Republic, you'll be likely if the old regime isn't still being butchered in the streets five months in. And it's also called "The Council of Humans" Which, again, really? We're really still separating weres and humans even after Drew realized humans can be just as good? And where did Drew come up with the idea of a Republic in the FIRST place? Why wouldn't there be a human king? Was there a Lyssian John Locke that I missed?
Ugh.
But the ultimate betrayal, in my opinion, is with Drew's character. First off, I have no problem with Drew being this sort of fantasy Cincinnatus- he did his duty, now he's going back to a simple life. That would've been a good character. But only if it was at ALL fully realized in the rest of the books. Yes, Drew's always been uncomfortable with being King, but he's dedicated himself for FIVE BOOKS to win the Civil War, very specifically to become King and unite Lyssia- well, except for maybe Omir. The biggest brown note is when someone says knowingly that Drew never wanted the crown. Uh. Yes, yes he did. There's a part, right at the end of the second book, where Drew is taken prisoner and shipped off to be some sort of Gladiatorial slave, and in this moment of despair, Drew has an epiphany, and accepts his lineage as King Wergar's son, and is bound and determined to break free and claim his throne. He WANTED it. He very specifically said he was going to fight for his people, as KING. In the third book, he makes several promises that, as KING, he's going to fight to win back the homelands of several companions he made as a slave. He IS a leader, and the type of leader that would be very critical to have firmly in a position of power when an entire continent is trying to rebuild itself after a devastating Civil War that saw untold horrors unleashed upon it.
And what grand title does he take instead, as the last of the Werewolves? As Lyssia's savior? As the Champion of this world?
Captain of the Guard for Duke Bergan.
No. Just... no. Even if I was okay with him pulling this Cincinnatus card right out of the friggin' ether, after all the crap Drew went through, after all the development and growth he had, he deserves something much, MUCH better than being a Captain of the Guard. It's just so pedestrian, so... unfulfilling.
The ending was a very big let-down. But, again, the rest of the book before the last, say, five chapters, was very good, and some parts of the ending, like Hector's conclusion, was just fantastic. Read the other five books, and write fan-fiction about how it all ends. You'll probably get better results.

November 13, 2013I think that Curtis had better come back to this world, He spent so much time shaping it for the series to end like this
October 7, 2015
This series was absolutely amazing. The characters were so interesting and diverse, the plot intricate and exciting and the conclusion of every book just made you want to read on to the next so badly. I LOVED Whitley, Drew, Trent, Gretchen and mostly Vega. Devastated by the ending is an understatement. I had to put the book down a few times because I really wanted a different outcome. My favourite parts of this book in particular were when the 3 Werelord champions battle on Black Rock and in the final battle towards the end when the Maelstrom arrives. I found myself cheering a little to myself at that point until I got to the part with Vega and Djogo, when I became more and more shocked as the scene unfolds. I was pleased with the way Hector's storyline was concluded even though he had become a character I disliked intensely. These books are so intense, brutal, grim and at times disturbing but so wonderfully readable, I will be absolutely happy to recommend them to any reader at any time.
Brilliant!
Brilliant!

As always Curtis Jobling delivered. The battle scenes were awesome and the story telling was great as always. I have to say that compared to the previous books this was a little bit of a let down. The panther's and lions betraying the agreement was by the book. The panther lord Obo's death was tragically beautiful. Milo's death was awful. Whitley's death could have been avoided. Vega's death was pointless and the fact that Drew spared Hector was unforgivable. I understand that Drew was tired of death and had in fact seen too many die. But Hector was upset that Drew cut off his hand and that he was a prisoner. The little boar lord acted as if he had been wronged. I guess he forgot that he killed an endless number of people before his Vincent vile took over. Yeah poor little boar lord, getting to sit in a comfy prison cell where he is fed three squares and has an endless supply of books to read and visits from Drew on a regular basis. All the while the rest of the world cleans up his mess.
Yeah a little mad that Drew suffered through everything only to have happiness snatched away from him once again. The only good thing is that with Drew alive and the Wyld wolves still at large there is a chance for another book. Hopefully more the Trent and Gretchen can find some happiness in this whole business.

this was a great book. At moments it was good but it just made me sad at the end. It also has an infuriating cliffhanger.
November 21, 2014
Overall the series is good. This book in particular is incredibly depressing. I cried through nearly all of it and have no desire to read them again.
November 9, 2015
I thought this was a good ending to a great series of books. This is definitely not what I expected, or would really expect from any book, in terms of an ending. I have to admire that Jobling didn't make the end roses and rainbows, because some good people die, and some bad people live. However, did all of the characters that died have to die?
I also do hope that Jobling continues this series, because there are so many possibilities in the world he has created. I liked this book, but it's not my favorite, so it gets four stars. v

My name is Opal, and I caused quite an uproar when I reappeared in Bast. I revealed my father's secret to the Council, and the lions, panthers, and tigers have now broken their alliance. Allies have become enemies, and I've now pledged my support to the Wolflord Drew. We've returned to Lyssia where Drew is determined to save his friends. I've no doubt my brother Onyx will have his Bastians try to kill me, and King Lucas's soldiers have surrounded major cities. However, there are rumors that Lucas has conjured a force of Wyld Wolves, and they've committed appalling atrocities against men, women, and children. Victims suffering bites but remaining alive are cursed to become Wyer Wolves themselves. Drew has many loyal followers across Lyssia, but I don't know if they'll be able to survive this war.
This book concluded the series, and you'll need to start it from the beginning. As mentioned above, the battles included heinous violence, as the Wyld Wolves were especially feral and vicious. Be forewarned. War of the Werelords still annoyed me with multiple viewpoints and settings, but the first half was more confusing than previous books due to characters switching sides. There were so many different characters and creatures that it was hard to remember which ones were good and bad. Also, Trent and Hector had additional issues that made their characters unpredictable. When coming back to the book after a day or two, it was sometimes challenging to recall what had already happened. The end of the book was better, as characters came back together to fight the final battles. With all that being said, I'd still invested hours of reading the series, so I wanted to see how Drew finally reunited Lyssia. I was also curious to discover the fate of several characters, and it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. There was some sadness, and the resolution included surprises. Overall, I enjoyed the plot and its twists, and characters morphing into animals didn't bother me as much as expected. The series won't appeal to everyone, but I liked it.

Wereworld #6, War of The Werelords, is an amazing conclusion to a great series. Curtis Jobling finishes the series and brings it to full circle. The story is pretty gruesome, so I would definitely
recommend it for older audiences. Many character’s storylines conclude, which is nice to see. Seeing different character’s stories from different parts of the continent was interesting, as well as seeing some backstories to some of the side characters. The story and plot is full of action and it is evenly distributed throughout the story making it very interesting to read. This was a great book and an excellent ending to remarkable series.

WELL WELL WELL this review is so difficult to write because there is so much to say. The series is so good there are no words in the dictionary to describe how I feel. I'll just have to do my best.
I was never really interested in Werewolves, they seemed pretty dull and unoriginal but these book with their fantastic character and world building creates a new twist on werewolves that is exciting and interesting from beyond down to the core. Not to mention the introduction of other WereSpecies like WereLions and WereRats AWESOME!!! .
The series has such a simple concept that flourishes into something amazing, which is not so easily done except with a greatly skilled and imaginative Author. The books will lift you up and bring you down, they will make you laugh and they will make you cry, they will make you sit up fraught with tension and they will make you eager for more. These books will definitely not disappoint.
When I first picked up this book series I was in year 8 of high school and read 'Rise of the Wolf' and 'Rage of lions' in one day. Obviously I was hooked from the get go. Unfortunately, my school did not have the rest of the books so I had to wait.
The worst years of my life, Year 11 and all books bought in a box set on Kindle...
... if only i hadn't of had my GCSE exams!!!!
THE EXCRUCIATING HORROR AND PAIN!
After all this time and exams had passed I had months to read the series and boy did i, it took me less than a week (one book a day) and then I re-read it and then I re-read it again.
I think you can work out from what I have written so far that it was definitely worth the wait, but don't do what I did, get your hands on the books as soon as possible. Also make sure you buy them as proper books rather than on Kindle, certainly one of my greatest regrets and therefore I would love to receive all the books in paperback with this front cover (talking to you Curtis Jobling or future boyfriend, id love you forever).
If I could I would give it 100 stars.

An amazingly touching and entertaining finish to the series. It broke my heart, put it back together, then broke it again. War of the Werelords taught me so many life lessons, and it is one of my absolute favorite books. Curtis Jobling is a true hero in the world of books! Embrace your inner beast fellow werelords......... you'll need it to survive this book.

Wereworld war of the werelords is a 5 star book,which is great for people aged 10 to 15 and in my opinion it is possibly the best book of the six book series. The author has touched upon everything you could need within this fantasy genre of book, with plenty of magic, mystery and huge amount of action. This novel, which is the final book of the series, is when the author allows for everything to unravel and concludes some of the unanswered questions from the first five books in the series. This book twists and turns, you never know who will come out on top in the war of Lyssia and become the King of Lyssia until the end. Will it be Drew, the boy from the cold coast, or Hectore, the best magister of the 7 realms, or could possibly the superpower of the 7 realms, the cat Lords reclaim Lyssia and if so, which of the Cat Lords will take hold of it, will it be a panther or maybe a lion or even possibly a tiger. The author superbly ties together a plethora of storylines over the series, culminating in an excellent final book. Overall this is one of the best novels I have read in a long time and you can see how Curtis Jobling has put so much effort into making a whole world of magic, complexity and uncertainty for the reader to explore. Overall I think that someone who likes adventure and action will love this book although I will warn you, you won't want to put the book down!

SPOILERS
Whilst this was enjoyable to read, there were still a few let-downs. It did feel rushed in places, the battles could have been longer and the build-up to Icegarden better. I would have liked some more Hector/Blackhand chapters! In terms of Drew's decision to abdicate it was annoying but ultimately it did make sense - book 1 saw his natural reluctance to accept and whilst in the following books he did accept himself as king, it was constantly stated he was still reluctant. I did not expect Whitley to die, I honestly thought Trent would. And of course I now want a second series which I do believe Curtis has hinted at on his FB page - where have Opal, Vanmorten and Djogo gone? There's now a war in Bast and there are Wyld Wolves everywhere, and also Westland is still stabilising and there are zombies in Icegarden but most importantly - where have Shah and Casper gone? I was so relieved Vega didn't die. This review is a jumble I know, I'm tired but the main thing is that whilst it was enjoyable the plot could have been slowed down a bit and perhaps there could have been 7 books? It's a bit of a shame really, giving the pacing in all other Wereworld books has been perfect.But overall it is one of the better finales I have read!

This book was top notch! The battles were amzingly detailed, there were lots of plot twists, horribly cruel jokes, and oh so much bloodshed. Wereworld came to a full circle with those few minor details that are meant to make you wonder. The one thing that I didn't like was what happened with Drew and Whitney. It was awful! I'm sorry, I just really have to rant. You shouldn't keep reading if you haven't read this yet. Why would Curtis Jobling let Whitney die! You don't kill the main character's wife the day after they get married! Lots of husbands and wives died, but they were middle aged. Those couples had had a life together. These two didn't! That was Whitney's murder, and Curtis Jobling is whodunnit! He's a great writer, but that was just a low blow. Did he not like Whitney? That was some serious bullcrap! Besides that, War of the Werelords was a good read.

Eh, finally finished this series. Characters who mostly felt constructed, not real. Motivations that felt dodgy and unbelievable. Loads of bluster leading to nothing.
In this sixth book, well-known characters die like flies, but all I felt was relief that we're getting close to the end. Six books was definitely two or three too many.
And in what should have been the climactic scene, there's suddenly an eclipse. (That's not a spoiler, it was as clear as day that it was gonna happen.) But it's the day before the full moon. An eclipse can only happen when the moon is the OPPOSITE of full. Not only is Jobling a pretty lackluster writer, he's an atrocious fact checker too.
Yeah, I wasn't very impressed.

Ended fantastically with the end of Lucas's creations and the friends finally coming together
*spoiler*
can't believe whitley's gone as drew and her deserved to be happy and poor Bergan losing them both. Really wish she had been saved so that's my biggest regret with this book
What happened with drew and being king was expected and is really good for Lyssia as a kingdom. Don't think it's the end of the Series completely as there were still too many questions unanswered with Hector, The Wylde Wolves and Drews happiness. The war may be over but things still aren't perfect
Fingers crossed there's more as I love this series

This was a great series! I had a hard time deciding if I liked the ending or not. It definitely leaves you hanging, and yet there is not, nor will there ever be, a next book. The book was interesting and frustrating at the same time. The one thing that I loved about this series is the unpredictability. I love reading a book that surprises me, and this series was one surprise after another. Characters changed allegiances throughout the series. Good characters became bad and bad became good. I loved how the series keeps you guessing. While I did wish it would have ended better or differently, I always know its a good series when I'm sad to see it end.

Curtis Jobling has made one of my favorite series and it's shame it has to come to an end. However the series leaves on a very high note and it satisfies on every level. The conclusion to the book might be the most emotional I've ever read and keeps you thing long after the pages stop. In turn the dark themes of the previous iterations is still here in great abundance however it's a lot more light hearted and touching than it's older brothers. Morality is always a difficult decision for the main as they struggle to find the line between right and wrong. As far as conclusions to series goes it is as epic as it is eye opening. This is definitely a book you don't want to miss.

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of action and adventure. It was very suspenseful and was very hard to put down. The book is told in different perspectives so you could see the different way the characters interpreted what was happening. The book had a very surprising but exciting ending. Many of the conflicts were involved. A bad thing about this book is that a lot of important characters don't make it to the end. I also disliked how the characters didn't really grow throough out the book. There were the same in the end as the beginning. Overall, though there were some things I didn't like, it was a very good book

A very bittersweet ending to the series. I'm happy Trent was saved, as was Hector but I wish Whitley had lived as well. I feel so heartbroken for Drew to have lost her when he already lost so much! I have a feeling that Vega has tricked the world again and is maybe not quite as dead as everyone believes, or at least that's what I took out of what Bergan said at the end! I just wish they'd managed to save Whitley as well as I loved her and Drew together.

brilliant series overall
I thought that the last book didn't do the series justice though, to me it seemed rushed alot of things happening for such a short book.
I was kinda looking forward to an epic battle between blackhand and drew, alot of biuld up for it to end so quickly
the world and the characters were
realistic, actually felt pretty emotional for drew and whitleys ending.
all in all a good series really hope Curtis comes back to the wereworld.

Marking this as three stars because the ending was such a let down.
So disappointed with the ending. Whitley dies and Hector is saved but is still kept watch over by Drew in case Vincent the Vile returns. Hector doesn't even figure much in the book until near the end, but I didn't feel he got the big ending that he deserved.

Curtis Jobling should definitely come back to wereworld because what happened to Opal and the rat and what about dojongo and the wyld wolves? who is the the king of Westland if Drews not going to take the thrown?
I think there should at least be a 7th book or maybe even a movie about the first two books combined into a two or three hour movie.

November 19, 2016This book was very cool with a lot of battles and fights. There was also a lot of themes of betrayal throughout the entire book with characters backstabbing each other through out. The final battle was good but felt rushed. The book immediately shifts toward another battle after recently finishing yet another battle. Towards the end there were just a lot of battles back to back.

It felt as if this book was extremely rushed compared to the rest of the series and that's the only bone i have to pick with it. The plot alone was enough for two amazing books and the rush caused new characters to fade due to the little time the books spent in developing them.
4.5

I love this series, and I was so sad that this was the last book. It was pretty interesting, but I found the ending wasn't exactly satisfying... It kind of left me with more questions than answers. But all in all, a good ending to an amazing series (:
