Dronish

Walker Saga #6

by Jaymin Eve

A young adult paranormal romance series.
An epic journey.
If the Seventine are released, will anyone survive?

With the convergence date looming closer, Abigail’s in the final countdown to imprison the Seventine. It is do-or-die time, and she is determined that the Seventine will be the ones who die, figuratively speaking. Her current priorities: gather the Dronish half-Walker female and reform her melding bond with Brace.

Dronish is a world more alien than any other Abigail has ventured through, which is really saying something. But it’s also a dying land. The inhabitants are running out of energy and there’s little hope for their survival. Of course, that makes it very hard to convince Sapha – the half-Walker – that she should help save the star system. If her world is doomed already, she doesn’t care much about the rest.

Okay, task one is going to be tougher than Abigail anticipated, but at least reforming the bond should be easy … right? Of course, that was before she met with the lalunas. Now she knows that both items on her to-do list have jumped right into the realm of impossible.

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this but it wasn't an 'I can't put this down' level of enjoyment. The story is great, still totally worthy of 4 stars but I just didn't find it as addictive as some of the other books in the series. Having said that I'm liking the Josian storyline, Brace as ever is very pleasing & I'm loving Fury, I think she's one of my favourites.

What I really love about this series though is that Abby is this kick-ass independent woman, but the point isn't laboured on. Sometimes I find authors really go too far to prove that their female leads are feminist heroes, to the expense of the story & normal, natural relationships, where it's okay to like aplha male men & feel warm fuzzies over a protective partner. Abby is super strong & fierce but she also shows vulnerability around Brace & likes the way he acts in protection of her. These traits can be compatible as proven in this series. Thumbs up.

DNF for the second time...

There is nothing particularly offensive about this book. And I love the first five books in this series. Jaymin Eve has a wonderful imagination and always creates the best friendships.

BUT it seems every time I try to read this book, I find a million other things to do. I can't get into the story line of this book, especially when my life is so busy I barely have time to concentrate on reading to begin with.

That being said, I will attempt to finish this book in the future. Maybe third time's a charm?

I have fallen in love with another author that was new to me. After I finished this book I voraciously searched to see if there was a book seven. I seem to be insatiable and I really want there to be a book seven. The imagination and humor of Jaymin Eve shines right through to you, I have enjoyed each and every book in the Walker saga series. I love the quick witted nuances of her characters. You are sure to enjoy the adventures of being sucked into First World and into the lives of the Walkers. Where will they take you next? (Now I have to wait for book seven, bummer!! I am SO not the patient type, especially when it comes to being one with my Kindle Fire...or my pillow....or the Starbucks....and for the love of chocolate never ever touch a woman's coffee/tea while she is in the zone with any of the previously mentioned sacred items!! This advice will save a maiming guaranteed.) I also love that the author replied to my complimentary comments via the Facebook. I always try to compliment my fellow kindred spirits who also hold PhD's in sarcasm and humor. ;D

What. the. eff! What an ending! It made me literally start the next and last one right away! :)
Happy that some things went back to normal, and lots of love is going down, but I'm really tense about the Seventine! It's really getting down to it now. I just don't know what to think about the new half walker, but I do love Lucy more and more, and Fury has grown on me so much! I think it'll be a happy ending series, as it just seems like that type of series, but you never know. Anyhu, LET'S FINISH THIS! :D and bring it on last half-Walker!

[Anto~mcbr · Rating 4 out of 5]

My reaction to the last sentence of this book? Oh, shit.. As real as everything already was, it's about to get even more real! The stakes just keep getting higher and higher, is there an end in sight? I don't know. I'm starting to get acrophobic!
As I'd predicted on my last review, Brace (and everyone else) got his memories back of his relationship with Abby. And it happened quite in the beginning of the book, which, <3 #YAAAS!.
I'm sure I've said it before, but I'll say it again; I just love how the male characters are all super alpha and protective of their lady loves, but at the same time, the female characters are just as fierce and protective of their loved ones. It makes for really interesting and rewarding relationship dynamics! I wish all book couples were like the ones on Jaymin Eve's books. I'm so sick and tired of whimpering, useless female MCS and standofish, asshole male MCs.
In these books there's so much love going around. And not just romantic love. There's lots of friendship love and family love. Another really great thing that happened is that Abby and Brace reformed their bond! Yay! Now they're back to being a sappy, hearts-floating-around-their-heads-when-they're-next-to-each-other couple (and back to kinda inhabiting each other's minds)! He loves her so damn much! (it kinda depresses me that I don't have a love like that of my own). There was this one dialogue where she said to him something along the lines of 'our love doesn't trump millions of lives', and he was like 'nothing trumps our love. Nothing' and OMG my heart just melted, like instantaneously. I'm so freaking in love with them as a couple! #unreachblerelationshipgoals
Ok, so, mini recap of everything that happened. After the obligatory chapter introducing the new half-walker, the book started where the previous one had left off, with everyone at the beach house celebrating Lucy and Colton's wedding (which, once again, awww). Almost right away Josian appeared and took Abby and Brace to talk to the lalunas (crazy, evil effers that they are). Tenni (the 'queen') totally admitted to them being the ones masterminding and orchestrating the release of the Seventine, and in turn, the end of the world, like it wasn't even a big deal. Abby made a deal with the lalunas, that if they gave everyone their memories back of her relationship with Brace, she wouldn't bond (meld? I'm confused at this point what each of those words entail) with him again until after the Convergence (I think that was the word). The catch was, that if she did reform their bond, then the lalunas would forever trap Josian in the stone world.
After that, they went back to First World where everyone (Walkers, fairies, pixies, Lucas's subjects, etc) was setting up camp, to prepare for the war. And, yeah, I forgot before, but the fairies were there cause Lucy's dad, the fairy prince, had showed up for her wedding. Whilst there, Josian admitted to everyone about being controlled by the lalunas and aiding them in releasing the Seventing, and stepped down from his role as princeps of the Doreen clan.
Almost right away the 5 half-Walker girls departed to Dronish, to get the next girl (Sapha). Everything happend way faster than in any of the other books! Like, it took them maybe one chapter (the last half of one and the first half of the next one) to get to Dronish, find Sapha, and get back to First Wolrd. Then came some training, conversations and bonding, blah, blah, blah.
Next big thing that happened was Abby going to Crais with Fury to investigate some weird activity that had been going on. They found out that the Seventine were planning to cut one of the sun's tethers to free enough energy to free the last three Seventine that were still trapped in the mountain prison. They actually managed to sever the tether, but Abby absorbed all the energy into herself. She linked herself to the other six girls, but it was still too much for them to contain. She called Brace to help them, and the only way for them not to die was to reform her bond to him so that they were connected again, and that way, he could also help contain the freed energy from the Crais sun (which also meant that the lalunas kidnapped and trapped Josian). They figured out that the best place to deposit the energy was in Dronish, were the planet and its inhabitants were about to go extinct due to lack of energy. All seven of them almost died, but in the end everything worked out.
Then came the part were (back in FW) Abby made a deal with the first Seventine, that she would help them get the fifth out, if in turn, they helped her trap all the lalunas inside the mountain prison. Of course, he screwed her over and got the fifth and sixth Seventine out of the prison.
Of course, after trapping the lalunas, the first order of business was to try and find Josian. But no one could find him.
Brace decided to take Abby back to Abernath for a little bit of rest, before she had to go to Earth to find the last half-Walker. And while there, and from Brace's POV, they found (with the help of Brace's mom, who btw hates Abby) Que's secret room of horrors where, inside an energy dome, both him and Josian were floating inside some kind of tanks.except it looked like Que had been meddling with something and now he was growing extremities that weren't 100% Walker.

Still Loving the Girls, but Not Adoring the Bad "Science" in this SciFi Series

The Overall Feels
Set in a dystopian scifi future with an urban fantasy twist, the Walker Saga is a fantastic mix of genres that is a whopping load of fun, and Dronish is no exception! I love the vibrant aliens Jaymin Eve creates as well as the complex (and very different) worlds she forms to house them. I think the Drones are my favorite people so far. I am still having fun with the series, but it has gotten a little more "loosey goosey" as the books go on (things going back and forth, details getting lost, stuff getting fixed way too fast or in an unbelievable way, etc). I am still a steady 3.5 for these books, though!

The Uppers
1) It's fast-paced, fun, and keeps you desperate for more! I've read up to this book in less than four days. Expect to spend a good amount of time on the edge of your seat while reading these babies, as they're those kind of books. Everything that can go wrong, absolutely does, and that's what keeps things fun!

2) The Drones are a creepy people, and I love them! I am glad Jaymin Eve has added a half-Walker with a less human feel to her personality. The Walkers themselves feel like arrogant humans, and most of the other half-Walkers have a very "could be from a weird Earth" vibe, especially when they start using Earth slang thanks to Lucy. Sapha, however, is 100% alien!

The Downers
1) The "uh-ohs" are fixed a little too fast and the "good guys" are a little too wonderful. (Also, the bad characters are too evil, and weirdly ugly, too--I don't believe that being the bad guy means you'll be physically hideous, which these bad guys all seem to be). Even when there is some betrayal from a "good guy", it's never that person's fault--it is always the magick/coercive bad guys that did it.) It's a very black and white world, and I prefer some grey in my books.

2) Jaymin is one of my favorite authors (she builds fantastic worlds), but sometimes she has a bit of difficulty expressing the details of these worlds on paper without leaving me slightly lost. Overall, though, Dronish is clear enough to get by. I just wish the worlds were described in more concise, understandable ways. I also wish that more time was spent on the alien worlds. Most of the series is spent on First World, which is the most boring world out there (heck, Earth is more interesting than this "we're such a perfect society!" planet.

3) Brace has gotten so endlessly sappy that I kind of want to slam my head against the wall. The boy apparently wants to be a poet when he grows up (note the sarcasm there), because the stuff he says sounds like it comes out of a Shakespearian comedy (you know, the parts where Shakespeare is making fun of sappy love sonnets). It's a constant "Oh, you are my end all, be all, wondrous joy of my soul, gonna be my whole world, lover of my life, best girl forever, worship your every move and bow down to your glorious beauty." Uh... okay, man. Calm yourself a little? It would be fine if it was every now and then, but it's CONSTANT, especially because they can hear each other's thoughts. They also have a magical-mate bond, which I don't like. I prefer people to find each other on their own, not because they were destined by magic.

3) Although I started off as a HUGE Abby fan, by this book I was starting to get tired of the Mary Sue-ness of her personality. It makes me want to sing: "If you're perfect and you don't know it, clap your hands! If you're perfect and you don't know it, clap your hands! If you're perfect and you don't know even though everybody tells you that you show it, if you're perfect and you don't know it, clap your hands!" She is the essence of all things gorgeous and wonderful and powerful and is completely clueless about this. And not in a realistic "has low self-esteem" way, because she doesn't have low self-esteem. She simply doesn't know she's gorgeous and doesn't mind that at all--but is constantly being told by everyone how gorgeous she is.

4) I wish the author gave all of the characters a few more personality flaws. Brace and Abby are Uber Perfect Awesome, and the few flaws that people do have generally turn out to be oh-so-adorable and instantly forgivable, which is simply not realistic. Heck, no matter what stupid thing Abby does, Brace instantly forgives her and worships her every move like the perfect boyo he is. Fury can be a total brat but they're Sisters Forever, Yo, so all is good. Abby has endless love for everyone, apparently, and is the most patient person in existence. Ugh. Real people have flaws, and real couples fight now and then! I like that reflected in the books I read.

5) As a total nerd, the blatantly incorrect bits of science REALLY irked me!!! There is a glowing moon on the planet Dronish but no sun... Yeah... that's not how it works, y'all! After spending about half an hour trying to come up with plausible reasons that they were seeing a moon without any light source for it to reflect, I just started repeating to myself over and over again "It's also in the fantasy genre... it's also in the fantasy genre... there is magick everywhere..." and was able to get by. I also had to do that when they magically took a sun away from a planet with two suns and its gravity/trajectory/spin/etc wasn't seriously affected by the sudden disappearance of said star. You remove any star close enough to be considered a sun, and it's definitely going to have MAJOR effects on every single mass within millions and millions of miles, seriously changing pretty much everything about them and making them unlivable for whatever had evolved there. I'd say being bothered by that stuff is more a fault of my personality than the writing of the book, though--I'm just obsessive about things like that. But if you're like me, be forewarned!

Conclusion
Overall, despite my critiques, this is truly a fun series that's perfect for someone who likes easy reads, interesting worlds, innocent romances, and happily ever afters. It may not be the most believable bit of scifi or have incredibly deep characters (actually, the characters have next to no depth at all), but it is VERY original with its crazy mix of genres, and SO MUCH FUN to read. I will definitely be adding this to my "worth a reread" shelf, and there's no greater compliment than that!

Okay just when I thought it couldn't possibly get better... it does. This one has a whole lot more going on and some really great twists that i never saw coming. A must must read. Abby and the girls bring more sass and excitement, there is love and friendship.... really i don't want to spoil anything so you have to read it. You will not be dissappointed. Cannot wait for the final book.

I enjoyed the book and can't wait for the final book in the series. I love how the main characters are being developed. Wish we could spend more time on the others. But it does leave room for some Novellas right?

This one was good because things are now better than in the last book, and the drama is definitely picking (not that there wasn't drama in the last book but it gets even better!)
There are even more heart breaking twists and turns and betrayals and lies and.....ugh just read it.
Loved it.

So. Dang. Good.

I dont know how she does it. Every single book is amazing. Dronish started with a bang and kept me enthralled until the last word. Starting book 7 now. Sad that it will be ending soon but cant wait to read it.

Ughhhh Brace and Abby are so annoying. The making out and lovey-doveyness were often at suuuch inappropriate times. Get your hormones together, guys!

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I did enjoy this one, I found myself wanting more of Sapha. She had such a small role in this book, she was almost pointless. I still feel like we don’t even know yet what all she can do and how she can be a benefit to the group. She can cover herself in shadows and absorb nutrients from the environment, and that seems about it. I’m sure it will be more obvious in the finale, but since this was kind of her story, I was expecting more. I also found myself disappointed in Abby and the big decision that she made in this one. I found it quite selfish even though it was made out like her life depended on it. I almost wish it was written as if Josian would have made the decision for her. Then the outcome would have ended up the same but then i wouldn’t have been disgusted by Abby. Oh well, other than those two minor irritations, the book was really amazing and fast paced. It almost makes your head spin with as much that needs to be done in the finale. I didn’t like it as much as Nephilius but it is definitely still worthy of five stars and one that is hard to put down.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This series has always been one of my go to favorites. It is one of those series that I can listen to over and over to (the audiobook is so good). Yes, this is a young adult/new adult book based on the lack of steam, but Jaymin Eve does such an amazing job of world building, multiple worlds actually.

Book 6 in the Walker Saga is where we get a lot of information on what is truly behind everything. The newest girl Sapha has had a hard life on her world & I love how different she is dynamic wise with the other girls in the group. This book is definitely a buildup to the final battle that we will see in the final book in the series.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jaymin Eve’s debut series. She is an amazing author and this is always a series I come back to. I also love the audio performance! Definitely one to check out if you haven't yet!

[Jassicca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought Abby would be devastated, but turned out she was alright. Her mum was the one who couldn't accept it until it was too late! The ending of this book was crazy! I didn't expect that at all. Sapha the new character was cautious, I didn't like her though, Fury, on the other hand, has become one of my favourite characters in this series besides Lucy.

Overall, in this book, we read the awesomeness of the half-walker girls. Their bond and abilities were getting more profound and powerful, they managed to divert the impending danger fall upon Crais, and in return, they saved Dronish! However, the final battle has yet to start, and it's time for them to find the last member on earth before it's too late!

I cannot praise this series enough! A fantastic twist on a dystopian novel that gently eases into some hefty fantasy. I read First World on a whim and before I knew it just had to buy the whole series which I read in a little less than 10 days. They simply cannot be put down! I highly recommend for anyone to give them a try, even if its not your favourite genres I promise you there is something for everyone.

Extremely well written and I will certainly be looking out for more of the author's work.

[Rasa Ievkalne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very strong feeling that book was written by two people,one of them a teenager.You get chapters of constant,flowing story and then unexpectedly some ridiculous inserts that does not blend well in. It throws the reader off and cuts off from the spell the book is supposed to weave for you.
Also,author should really,really keep notes on information and descriptions she is giving through the series.It is not ok to change some character hair colors on a whim or oppose the information of facts given previously.It is confusing and very,very annoying.

**** No Spoilers ****

Absolutely phenomenal. This series just keeps on getting better. I didn't cry while reading this book. The emotions still ran high. The world of Dronish is definitely weird. Mostly in the book there is action and adventure on all the planets. I think that after every book I read, I love Abby and Lucy more. I have to add Fury to my list of favorites. Fury is just amazing in this book.

What a fight to free Josian from his Lalunas but in the end Abby had to meld with Brace or else she and the other walker's would have died.

Even when they imprisoned Tennis she had something up her sleeve because they were unable to find Josian, Abby's dad.

Now for Brace's mom to tell him that she can still feel Que's energy that would indicate that he did not died when he exploded but no one had seen him. Only to find him and Josian in his secreted experimental lab.

Abby + the half Walkers:

I have really enjoyed the series so far. I don’t think I have laughed so hard in my life. If it’s not Fury’s snark, then it Lucy’s sass. So in love with all of the characters and what is happening in their seven youngling world’s. The adventures have been fun to read about on the different worlds. Excited and sad at the same time to go onto the final book back where it all started on Earth.

good

This book was fun and had a lot of action in it. Not only was Abby going to this world to find the next walker girl, but there was also a lot of other things going on. Abby knew there was something wrong with her father, but she didn’t know what and she found out in this book. I love all the Walker girls and their friends. I also like the twist on vampires and drones in this book. I’ll definitely be reading the next book in this series.

OMG. OMG. OMG!

I've said it before...I'm usually bored af by the 4th book in a series...but this one!!! This one has kept me captivated. Continue with Abbie and the half Walkers on their journey to Dronish. Visit with all the usual suspects to see what the baddies are up to. Get your dose of true love with the mated pairs. A bit of everything rolled into one fantastic book.
