If possible this last book in the series is even better than the first two. I could not put it down. The way the author brings it all together for a nail biting conclusion is masterful. I see an opening for a future book and so hope one comes. Keep up the good work MS. Tropser.

AAAAAHHH!!!!! Such a great way to end this series! I'm a bit miffed about the epilog, but very excited at the same time. I loved the "knowing the future" theme that Maleena struggles with and how that panned out. Gah. I want to say so much, but I don't want to ruin the excitement or stress for anyone else. I could feel my heart pounding during Loki and Vaddoc's battles. I wasn't sure my heart could take more death. I spent the first half of the book in mourning with Kellinar, wiping tears that just didn't want to stop falling. This is a fantastic series. Dragons, magic, epic battles, and oh so much more. It's series'/books like this that once you finish reading, you're never quite the same again - and you expect everyone around you to have had their world slightly shifted as well.

Ok. Another thief of sleep!

This was an amazing ending! Omg, it was fantastic and I could NOT put it down.

There is a twist - an enemy turned frenemy - and I love it.

Loki is again probably one of my favorites. And of course Kellinar makes me smile.

Well done you fabulous author. This trilogy is amazing.

I have enjoyed the first two of this series since I met the author. I put off reading this one because I knew it would be over. It did not disappoint. If you enjoy fantasy with lots of dragon riding this is a perfect series for you. Much better than many “bestselling” series on new York lists.

A gripping fantasy with high stakes and real emotional weight. The battles are intense, the betrayals feel earned, and the looming sacrifice adds powerful tension. Strong world-building, sharp pacing, and an ending that hits hard. Highly recommended.

I can never say enough good things about Trosper’s writing. This one is even more amazing than the others!

Another great book by A.D Trosper. About dragons no less. Love it! Can't wait to see if there's a sequel.

It was extremely tough for me to finish this book. Knowing the series was ending was ending kept me from finishing it. I finally did and I was crying, laughing and enjoying the epilogue as it points to more books in the series!! This is a wonderful world of dragon riders, and I can't to read more! I highly recommend checking it out!

Good, but marred by persistent pessimism

Why do good authors ruin their novels' potential closure by hanging onto trite and overused concepts like "the balance must be maintained" or "complete closure is unrealistic"?

Gimme a happy ending, or at least don't mar it with a stupid, dark, tragic cliffhanger!

Once again Trosper does a great job taking us into the world of the Guardians and the struggles that they face. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to see if there's a fourth. Read my review of the book on my blog at: https://michelinam.wordpress.com/2015...

As magical as the other two books in this series, and as full of page-turning excitement. I couldn’t put it down. A first-class Fantasy novel! As with the other two books, there are a lot of names to keep track of, but by the time you get to ‘Ashes and Spirits,’ you’re already familiar with all the players in this epic war between good and evil.
