Okay, I am actually sitting here with the biggest smile on my face and a tiny bit of a tear in my eye because I finally finished the Dragonwall Saga after 6 years.
I'm pretty sure it was way back in 2020 but I distinctly remember how a chapter would release every Friday (Aussie time) and it would be the highlight of my week.
And honestly, endings are so hard to stick yet this is chef's kiss. It was the most perfect, satisfying conclusion I could have asked for. I'm still genuinely so sad that it's over. It feels like the end of an era.
The Dragonwall Saga has made a permanent home in my heart and my 'all time favs' shelf forever.
Most importantly, thank you Melissa for making my Fridays brighter for years and thank you for creating Cyrus LOL.

Probably the only book in the series I was looking forward to finishing.
I’ve only ever read Melissa’s books on Wattpad and I didn’t pay much attention to the quality of the grammar or even spelling because I always assumed that these go fixed when they went to get published, but having read this in a physical book that I paid money for, I was disappointed to find at least 3 spelling and grammar errors within the first 70 pages. It was also difficult to tell when something was meant to be quote or a letter or a scene or something when it was all in the same style, font, and size.
This book feels sloppy and rushed and tbh almost not needed. The book basically concluded in the first three chapters and after that it was basically an epilogue. It feels like the author didn’t plan the series out well enough and by the seventh book, just ran out of material.
Every character in this book all of a sudden sounded and spoken in the exact same way - even the ancient king tree. There was too much modern speak from characters which shouldn’t have spoken like that. Before if I read the book, I’d be able to distinguish more which character was speaking but this time it all felt the same.
Also, I don’t want the character saying “which roughly translates to”.

Wow. What an adventure. This series is definitely one of my favorites. The fact that each book you go to know each character a bit more that you fell in love with every single one of them. The character growth was phenomenal. Each person had their own story and path within the story itself. I love that each book was a gradual climb to the next step. There was a reason for every single thing that happened and by the end you knew exactly why. I laughed and i cried and i was holding my breath in some parts. I truly felt like these were my friends and i was on the ride with them. This last book was perfect. Instead of dragging out a book to get to the climax and end you got quickly to the adventure and fight. It went swiftly but the battle is self was lonely anticipated. I love that most of this book was spending the time wrapping a bow on each character and their life. For the most part we got to a happy ending for everyone important, it was not short. I can’t wait to see if there is another adventure coming our way seeing some of our favorites popping in the new story. I don’t know what i’ll do with myself until then!

absolutely loved the last epilogue!!! especially the dragon form presented in it! AHHHHHHHHH
AMAzing writing i wont spend my time writing an long ass review cuz i already did that on wattpad but i adore this series so much and as someone who finished the 3 first books within like 1-2 weeks i HIGHLY recommend. There are a few moments here and there that are questionable but when i say i barely felt them i mean it. the general plot? amazin. the characters? consistent, loveable, absolutely loveable. the ending? pretty dang sad yet heartfelt. If i had to point out something negative about this i would have to mention reyrs ending. I felt it was a big convenient and sadly not realistic compared to his feelings and the lore...ig? idk how to phrase it with no spoilers.
BUT DEFF RECOMMEND.
this series is deadass 10 times better than the acotar series (althought i loved the characters and the second book in that series)

I can’t believe this is the end 😭 i’ve loved this series since it was in Wattpad and what a joy to see how it’s grown 💗
This whole book was a huge epilogue which I loved, since there were so many characters I wanted to know more about post-Kane. I feel like there could be more to Kane and Claire’s final battle though, it felt too fast to me. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this. What a satisfying end to the series!
I love reading about the next generation too. Gosh, Claire & Talon’s children feel like my children as well. They’ve all grown so much 😭
I hope there will be more books about the future generation of Dragonwall. I would be interested to learn more about the first Drengr female & sprite hybrid. Love them all so much.

Lack luster of an ending to an AMAZING series.
The entire Dragonwall series is amazing, unfortunately for me I feel like this book doesn't hold a candle to all the others in this series. It's not that the book is even bad, I loved the syndicate incorporation and would of loved to see more of that through out the book. It just felt like the last half was tying up loose ends and nothing more. The last 30% was just epilogue after epilogue and while I was happy to see the other characters find their endings I wasn't happy with the format. I'd still recommend this series but this ending for it left a little to be desired.

March 16, 2026I have loved it from the start.
I'm not usually this kind of reader.
Or rather I'm not usually a fan of these kinds of books.
I saw Talon the black recommended 32 hours ago. I haven't slept since. But I have just closed on Dallin. And, wow. What a journey. I have cried big fat tears. I have laughed honestly. I have been proud of characters that felt like friends, witnessed brotherhood bloom and love blossom, all whilst fighting for good.
Is this book for everyone? No. But it is, it should be.
I am old enough to have read many many many books in my life. This one will forever stay with me, and forever be a recommendation.

I absolutely loved this series. I waited until I read all 7 before leaving a rating on any to get a full view. I knew after the first one I was going to love it, but I had no idea just how much. This is one of those series that you wish you were able to restart again and again and reread not knowing what happens. I loved the writing style, balance, storytelling, and development in these books. I’m glad that book 7 wrapped very characters story up and allowed the reader to have a look into how their lives played out.

Ive sat on this story for aome time to try to word my thoughts. Overall, I really enjoyed the series. It felt like the world was well thought out and well established in terms of culture and history, giving a good basis for ‘the chosen one’ concept.
I think that this final book wasnt super necessary, but we meeded to round out the shields stories/have one for each of them.
I generally like fated mates and all that, but this wasnt my favourite iteration of the trope. The way everyone paired off so cleanly was kinda eh and the way that our main pair had some delicious tension that just kind of evaporated the moment the word mate came out. The development was heading in a good spot, and then it was like oh no were okay now cause mate. The tension about it was better displayed with saffra then with the claire. And the word mate was said too much.
But if thats my only picking point, thats fine. Great story

I really enjoyed this series so much! I loved that she told what happened after the big fight and how they pick up the pieces.
Some spoilers: I feel like everything ended too perfect. It felt like the author was trying to make up random side stories to make the puzzle fit perfectly. On one hand it felt like too much, but on the other hand I loved it. :)
Ill say it again, why is nobody talking about this series?! Its so good!

Great end to a fantastic series
The perfect bow on a beautiful present. Everything was wrapped up nicely and the many characters were all given a nice end. My only complaint is that this book mostly reads like a super long epilogue, but with so many characters and storylines, I don’t know if anything else would have worked.

Loved this whole series
I loved everyone in this series, Claire was great and talon. This is a must read for lovers of dragons and sprites. The world created was so good and everyone of the Shields were amazing.
I wonder if we will get the story of Talon and Claire's children. Goid job and thanks for the entertainment.

When I started Talon the Black, I did not realize this was a 7 book series. I probably wouldn't have started it if I had, so I'm SO glad I didn't know, because I loved this whole story. The characters are wonderful and after thousands of pages, feel like family members. I loved the fourteen epilogues to give closure to all of the parts of the story!

Great finish to a great series!
This was such a great series! Everything was wrapped up with a neat little bow. I appreciate the final epilogues and if there's ever a series on the next generation I would definitely read it!

This would have been 4 stars, but 14 epilogues was ridiculous and boring. Plus, most of the book wasn't about Dallin.

What a beautiful ending to an insane story!!!!!! Definitely the best series I’ve read in a while! Love it!
