This book honestly felt like a complete waste of time. Claire going home dragged on for five chapters, only for it to end with a single interaction with Talon before she just jumps on his back and flies home. I understand the intention was to provide closure with her parents, bring back her best friend, and pair Jovari with a mate, but the whole thing came across as sloppy, rushed, and poorly executed.
It was painfully obvious the author was trying to tie up loose ends but didn’t really know how to do it, so it ended up feeling like a few hastily written chapters thrown in just to wrap everything up in a neat little box. Honestly, it would have worked better if Claire had lost her memory in Dragonwall, been taken somewhere else or held captive, and only regained her memories later with Talon. Then the series could have ended with them visiting her family during their honeymoon, which would have tied everything together in a much more natural way.
Instead, this section felt like a late addition that was awkwardly inserted and poorly handled. Especially her parents being okay with possibly never seeing her again and her traveling with a strange DRAGON (they saw him shift and acted as if it was an everyday occurrence). No qualms, no debates, no pleading. Just "this is your destiny, let me help you pack".
Also, the additional viewpoints on the second to last book is really off-putting. I’m not a fan of last-minute character additions, especially when they seem to exist solely to stretch the story out longer. Rather than adding depth, it made the narrative feel unnecessarily bloated and gave the impression that the author was trying to extend the series instead of letting the story progress naturally.
And don’t even get me started on Leah. The entire second half of the book felt like a circle jerk centered around how “brave” and “strong” she was for enduring hardship. It became repetitive fast.
I did appreciate the author addressing her friend’s jealousy. Honestly, that felt refreshingly real. Too often, the best friend exists solely to be endlessly supportive, with no emotional complexity or personal reactions of their own. Giving that character space to feel something messy and human was one of the stronger choices in the book.
That said, every conversation involving Leah seemed to follow the exact same pattern: she would unload the details of her traumatic life onto complete strangers, then immediately become cold or defensive when they asked even the most natural follow-up questions. And once she finally “reluctantly” explained everything, it always led to the same response. An avalanche of praise about how brave and resilient she was. Over and over again. After a while, it stopped feeling meaningful and started feeling forced.
It would have worked so much better if Leah had come with Claire from the beginning. That way, we could have gradually learned about her past and the details of her life naturally as the story unfolded, instead of having it all dumped on the reader in the second half of an already overlong book.
At one point, Claire says she is so relieved to have a familiar face with her and that it helps ease the stress she’s under. But that moment would have carried far more weight if she hadn’t already been surrounded by a massive group of people who love and adore her, not to mention two kingdoms that support her.
Because of that, Leah’s presence doesn’t feel like an emotionally significant addition so much as a convenient one. If she had been there from the start, the relationship and the emotional beats would have felt much smoother and more earned. Instead, it once again comes across like a last-minute addition.
There's also the ridiculous inconsistencies and actions that don't make sense. An example being this:
"“Disguises in place?” Koldis looked at each of them. They wore court attire, with elegant cloaks covering their clothes in case they were spotted. Hers was a gorgeous black cloak that shimmered with iridescence to mimic Talon’s scales. "
You're going in to court, disguised so you can surprise attack Kane and you choose to wear the most ostentatious, obvious cloak in existence? Neon green would have been less conspicuous. And the actual fight scene was half a page. Half a page to take back a kingdom. Talk about disappointing and lackluster.
Then ending the book on a cliffhanger, especially at the climax of the main story, is just poor storytelling. It feels less like a deliberate narrative choice and more like a cheap tactic to push the reader into picking up the next book without actually earning that interest.
A cliffhanger can be effective, but cutting off the central conflict at its most critical moment makes the entire book feel incomplete rather than suspenseful. The main quest or core storyline should reach some level of resolution within the book itself, even if larger threads are carried into the next installment.
There is a difference between leaving room for the story to continue and simply stopping in the middle of the climax. Side plots, lead-up arcs, or secondary storylines can absolutely carry over into the next book, but the primary narrative should not feel abruptly abandoned. Did the author take a writing lit class?
And speaking of which, the number of typos was honestly ridiculous. We’re six books into this series. At this point, can we at least pretend there was some editing involved before publication?
The entire book felt like the author had a bunch of ideas, couldn't pick one so she crammed everything together and hoped it worked out for the best. At this point I'm just ready to finish the series and move on with my life. But I'm already six books in and I'm notoriously horrible about quitting anything halfway through. So off to the last book I suppose.

I love this series and they are definitely 5 star reading, but I believe this was my favorite of all of them. This time Claire, Queen of the Sprites and Dragonwall, has been banished back to her home without remembering anything about Talon, or her being Queen or even being in Dragonwall. Kane has taken her memory away with a spell. Now, Talon doesn't know where she is, if she is alive, but he knows he must find her even if it does mean leaving Dragonwall and entering into a new world, the one that Claire was from.
But time in the States vs this magical kingdom is different. Each day spent in the United States is a month in time for Dragonwall. In this time, Kane, has finally found the last of the dragonstones and he has taken over the kingdom of Dragonwall, now that he has the magic to turn all the dragons into stone!
This one has me reading all day and night!! Loved it, and now to finish the series with the next one!

Leah came outta nowhere...
I really liked this one... however, the transition was weird. I think it was because we had so little information about her previous life that the new journey and new characters were introduced abrubtly. Leah is okay, but I feel like her character is lacking. The backstory is there, but I want to see more of her personality I think. I wish she would have been mentioned earlier in the story. It's like she was an afterthought. I am so excited how everything turns out, but also sad because I really like this series and am not quite ready for it to be over.

The story continues. I love and hate so much. Seriously I'm totally loving the story. But I'm at the, hurry up and get our HEA already. I'm glad with got closure in Indiana,with mom and dad. I completely forgot about Leah, so that was good to bring her back in. So much happened in the book. All the major bad things that we've been waiting for, finally happened. All together. But it works. Melissa has done a great job with all the characters. So much growth is happening. We finally really get into Jovari's story. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this series. 100% worth the read. On the final book.

Another clear winner. Claire has been sent back to her own world by Kane and he has taken away her memories by magic. She finds it difficult to the invasive sensation she attracts by the press after being found after going missing for so long. She reunites with her parents and her best friend Leah. Meanwhile Talon and Jovari search for her to bring her back. To hide that the King is missing, Reyr takes his place as King after undergoing a glamour to make him look like Talon. This adds undue pressure on him as he tries to do Kingly duties with Merrian disguised as Claire by his side. Interesting and chaotic times! I will be sad to finish this series as I head into the final book.

5 ⭐️
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.

Finished this in one seating! I couldn’t get enough. This was thrilling and took something off my life with Kane storming through the palace.
Leah came out of nowhere, but I guessed right that Jovari’s mate would be from Earth. I wish she was discussed beforehand but I couldn’t remember if Claire ever mentioned her, nonetheless i loved them! Also, love that Reyr is finally getting his partner too!!! Can’t believe i’m about to read the last book 😭 this has been a wonderful journey

Love the pictures
When I was much younger and started reading the Pern books, I was disappointed with the look of the dragons. They aren't real so I justified it by recognizing that my visualization only had to satisfy me, no one else. When I saw the first picture of a Drengr I was elated. The ideal Dragon, the one I visualized so many years ago. Majestic, fierce, proud, deadly and beautiful. Getting ready to read the last book, so excited

Jovari the Blue
Amazing continued story for all these strong phenomal characters with Jovari finding his mate, non stop build action, twists, emotional highs and lows, and bonds that'll never be broken with their made family. Can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Epic storytelling.
I just love this world, and these people. The relationships they have built and continue to build make me want to live in Dragonwall. The world this author has built is one I simply can't put down. Such a great story. So excited to get to the final book!

Oh man that cliffhanger in this one. The action in part of the series is more tame and not as bam, boom and explosions. It give you a bit more insight.

Plot:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The plot was PLOTTING. I waited for this book for SO LONG especially after the cliffhanger. I loved the worldbuilding, and the lore and ugh, everything about the storytelling
Characters:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the characters except Dallin (reasons are in his book review). But ignoring him, loved all the characters. They were so cute and had me kicking my feet. AND I love how Jovari was Leah's mate it was all so cuteee.
Writing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a Wattpad originated book, and I feel like if she edited the book before publishing, it could have easily been a 5/5, but unfortunately, she left it as is and it'll stay a 4 star.
Pacing:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Could have been better, but it was good. This author could be going places if she just edited a little harder.
Execution:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The execution wasn't flawless, but the engaging part makes up for it. I tore through this book.
Final Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.6 stars)
Thoughts:
I love the pairing and worldbuilding. One of my favorite series.
