Mystic Knight: Unforgotten
Aldric and his bonds completed their third year at the Academy, though it didn't go exactly as planned. They uncovered an insidious plot happening right below the Academy itself. There they found women taken from their villages for forced bonding, as well as mages who were being tortured and experimented on. They put an end to the evil deeds and stopped the one in charge, their old foe Torg Frosthammer. Nadia was able to exact her revenge on the dwarf and get a semblance of closure.
However, after Torg was defeated a mysterious man appeared and told Aldric he was the one behind Torg and Giles. They briefly fought, and while Aldric was able to hurt the man, much worse was done to Aldric. The man unleashed a spell on Ember, almost killing her. With the distraction, and the arrival of the Imperial Grand Magus, the man escaped. Aldric put all of his mana and his soul into healing Ember's wound, which worked but came at a cost to himself.
When everything was said and done, Aldric and Ember bonded, leaving Aldric with only one bond left to fill.
As they enter their fourth, and final year, at the Academy Aldric and his bonds are looking forward to finding the final bond, and hopefully having a relaxing year before their fifteen years of military service begin.

Outstanding continuation of an outstanding series!!
Really love the world Ryan Jackson has painted with his words for Alrick and his bonds, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next adventure.
This one was just as riveting as the other 3, and I finished it too fast. Or there weren't enough words. Either or. Can't wait to get the next book!
I am being a bit vague, as I don't want to gush about anything and spoil what is happening!
To be fair, if you've made it this far, you love the characters and what they are going thru. I don't know why anyone would just pick up a fourth book of a series.

I can't believe this is the penultimate book of the series already. I already miss the MC and LIs and sad that the series will end by the next one.
As of this book, it is one of the well rounded book in this series so far in my opinion. This book had action, drama, politics, romance, friendship and much more. The only issue i would say is the competition part; that is also because we knew what will happen at the end and how it will be dealth with as well. Another thing is the villain of the series. There is something big coming but in this book, even though this book had some issues with him, i expected even more.

Don’t really care for the MC. He gets distracted by anything bright and shiny. He’s egotistical and arrogant. And his having to push his love through his bonds and telling bond mates he loves them every few minutes is enough to make you gag.
Also don’t think much of the academy. Not teaching them how to work as a unit or taking them out into the field until the forth year is just stupid. Also not teaching them high level spells is idiotic.
I did like the interaction of the girls.
But I don’t know if it’s enough for me to get the next book

Another fun adventure
The character relationships remain a highlight. The spotlights shifts a little to focus on characters that had previously been less focused on. The new characters are a good additions to the cast.
The action and sex scenes both have improved. Character motivations and development are better integrated into their actions.
The plot threads remain more of a background part, but they are interesting enough to support the story.
I'm looking forward to the next book.

Great continuation!
I'm so happy this series is continuing past the academy. I feel like so many books just cover the school time and then end, when I realized about 30% into this one it wasn't moving toward am ending in this one I was very happy. Hopefully we get a few more books out of this as it seems there is a lot of story left to tell. As for the review it's simple if you loved the pervious books you love this one.

Good book!
The best parts of this book are the family and the characters. I really enjoy Aldric's team of bonds and their unique interactions and relationships. Aldric himself could use some tactics advice and/or common sense. But I can't fault him for spending most of his time on his girls instead of being a badass.

A Great Series
I’m truly enjoying this series. Mr. Jackson has kept the characters interesting and growing. The plot and pacing is excellent.

Well done and keep up the good work.
