So I’ve read all 6 books of this series.
They started 4 star and gradually by book 4 I started to become bored.
These 6 books very very easily could have been made into a trilogy. There definitely did not need to be split into 200pg books.
The plot was there however it was missing something.
The characters were great and the chemistry started with Zara and tavarrian then by book 4 just fell off a cliff.
They went from being nothing to everything in a space of 1 page the chemistry was definitely lost somewhere.
I felt like the side characters in the last 2 books where also completely forgotten they was such an important part of the story through 1,2 and 3 then by 4, 5 and 6 again nothing
I gave 3 stars for plot only and for the fact that the first 3 books was good but I held out for the last 3 hoping it was all going to come together and be worth it.
It was just ok for me.
Sorry

Yet again, a series I adore is coming to an end. This last book in this series, though, is wonderful. We find out a few things (secrets, duh, the name of the book), and we see the end of a few things. It’s so hard to write about this book without giving spoilers. However, what I can say is that readers of the series will be well-satisfied with the end. While I wish some things had been a little less rushed, I ended the book wanting more which is always a good sign of a great series. Don’t be afraid to pick this one up; it was a well-written end to a fun series! If you haven’t started the Dragon Riders of Elantia series, do so soon! Highly recommend this book and was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Solid 3 stars
The first book was far and away the best of this series. The characters were so vivid and alive. The rest of the series, including this book, was just okay. I felt there was zero chemistry between Zara and Tavarian after the first book. Everyone was boring. Lessie wasn’t witty or funny or anything. These could have been so much better.

Listen, this is better than “Of Dragons and Fae” and probably unpopular opinion better than “Fourthwing”!

*****Spoilers*****
Things are tied up pretty well in this last book of the series. We see the last of Salcombe, poisoned to death by Zara along with the Zallarian leader. Somehow the dragon god manages to manifest as a cloud, pulls the dragons to him while breaking the bonds with their riders which very conveniently opens the way for this new "friendship" bond to work. It also makes it so that the riders now are mages with magic that's solely theirs instead of being tied into the bond. What does this mean for the eggs and as yet to be found and bound riders?
We're also introduced to an island full of free dragons who somehow made it out of the dragon war and are not and have no need to be bound to a rider. This is something that I was not really appreciative of in this book. Not only the sudden introduction of the free dragons but the mindset that the bond between dragon and rider needs to be broken all of a sudden. Not only that, but that it's solved so easily in the book. With all of the other stuff that's going on. I still don't see how Zara has so much influence, heroic acts aside, she's not a military commander. Too, it was always laughable to me that she would jump at roles that required subterfuge. She's not subtle, can't control herself or her emotions, and continually forgets she's supposed to be undercover. She's literally the worst person for this in the book but is there time and again.
Overall though, the series was average in my opinion but interesting enough that I kept at it to finish to the end.

Fun series available on kindle unlimited (AUS)
Enjoyed the dragon rider X magic/mages fusion
The 6 books could definitely have been squished into 1, plot was regularly entertaining but found the ending quite underwhelming which was disappointing. Would have enjoyed the series more if the final part (Book6) wasn’t rushed and lacking in completion (other characters, unmentioned outcome of magical items like the heart pieces, amulet, horn etc, future of dragons and dragon riders)

⭐⭐⭐✨ (3.5/5) Dragon Riders of Elantia
This was one of those series where every single book ended up being a solid 3.5 stars. Not because they were bad, but because they all left me with the same feeling: I enjoyed the journey, but I never became emotionally invested in it.
Let’s start with what I genuinely liked because there’s actually quite a lot.
The worldbuilding is probably the strongest aspect of the series. The story doesn’t trap the characters in one academy or one kingdom for six books. They travel constantly, new places are introduced naturally, and the world feels much bigger than the handful of locations we usually get in fantasy romance. I do wish there had been a map because I spent half the series trying to remember where everyone was, but that’s a minor complaint.
The dragon magic was explained well enough that I always understood what was happening. The mage magic, on the other hand… not so much. By the end of six books I still couldn’t clearly tell you what mages can and can’t do. Sometimes it’s spells, sometimes it’s gestures, sometimes it’s touching things, sometimes it’s all of the above. It never became confusing enough to ruin the story, but it never became a system I truly understood either.
One thing I really appreciated was the structure of the conflict. Instead of spending five books talking about an unbeatable enemy only to defeat them in one dramatic chapter, the war is fought throughout the entire series. Every book feels like another step forward, another strategic victory, another piece of the puzzle. It made the journey much more believable.
Ironically, because of that, the final battle felt… surprisingly ordinary. After six books I expected something bigger, something that would make me stop and think, “Yes, this is what everything has been building toward.” Instead, it was simply another encounter that happened to end in our heroes’ favour. Not bad—just not memorable.
The romance was another mixed bag.
One of my favourite things about the first book was that I genuinely had no idea who the love interest was. After reading so many fantasy romances where the future boyfriend practically introduces himself in chapter one, it was refreshing not knowing who Zara would end up with.
And yes… I was right. 😄
Jallis never convinced me. There simply wasn’t enough chemistry between them, and every romantic moment felt too casual to be believable. Tavarian was a much stronger choice. The chemistry was better, I liked him far more as a character, and their relationship made much more sense.
That said… I still wanted more.
I know this is YA, so I wasn’t expecting explicit romance, but slow burn isn’t measured in spice—it’s measured in emotional intimacy. I wanted more quiet moments, more conversations, more reasons to fall in love alongside them. The relationship worked, but it never made my heart race.
Zara herself improved a lot throughout the series. She grew into a stronger, more confident woman and finally started behaving more like someone who had survived the difficult life the author gave her. Oddly enough, the only thing that remained inconsistent was her fighting ability. Depending on what the plot needed, she was either incredibly capable or surprisingly helpless.
The supporting cast was enjoyable without ever becoming unforgettable.
Lessie remained my favourite character, although I will never forgive the author for naming a dragon Lessie. That’s still a golden retriever’s name, not a dragon’s.
I also wish some storylines hadn’t quietly disappeared along the way. Characters who seemed important simply stopped appearing, promising plot threads—like the Heart Stones or the enhanced soldiers—never really received satisfying conclusions, and a few loose ends made the world feel less cohesive than it could have been.
Overall, this was simply… a good adventure.
Not an epic one.
Not one that will stay with me forever.
But one I enjoyed enough to keep turning the pages.
If you’re looking for a fantasy series with dragons, solid worldbuilding, clear progression across multiple books and a focus on adventure rather than romance, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
If you’re looking for unforgettable characters, an intense slow burn or a romance that steals the show, this probably isn’t the series you’re looking for.
For me, it was a consistently enjoyable 3.5-star adventure from beginning to end—and sometimes that’s perfectly okay.

The final book in Zara Kenrook's story could not be more epic if you wanted to.
War exploding all around and Zara being literally through hell, she thinks after reunion with Tavarian and discovering some really surprising findings they can only focus on the one front. But Zallabarians are not their only worry, and even spy missions are not enough. Because Salcombe and the shadow of the Dragon God are still lurking around..
I enjoyed the rush of adventure, endorphins, action, and fierce passion embraced in this piece. Politics mixed with magic and fairytale, dragon society entwined with gods and mortals, and intense action-packed adventure pierced here and there with romance and deep emotions. All of them can be found just following an admirable couple of brave warriors with hearts in the right places. Zara and Tavarian are able to light the fire inside the reader - of course with help of their dragons.
I am slightly upset it's already over, yet i am looking forward to all the future works of this author.

I really liked this series, the dragons were definitely the best part. Zara was a good character too and very likable, I adored her romance with Tavarian. But by this last book I was kinda bothered by Zara's lack of character development, with the span of 6 books and a war I expected more from her. After a while her attitude was rather annoying.
Another thing, specific to this final book, is the poor pacing by the end. Everything was wrapped up a little quickly and a little smoothly. It left me feeling a little off. I also wanted to see more of the Dragon God, it felt all very anticlimactic.
Otherwise, I enjoyed reading these books and would love to read more from this author. I'm not all too fond of first person, but she made it work very well. It was an exciting ride from beginning to end.

I know these books have been focused on the main character's pov, but I would have liked more information on the dragons, especially as we've now met the Free Dragons. What's their history? Dynamic of their society? Maybe another book in this world? Will the Free and Unbound dragons ever mix?
I feel like there is so much more that can be explored in this world, other stories that can be told.
Only reason I gave 4 stars (instead of 5) is because I found more errors in this book than previous. Nothing that takes away from the story, but things that had me pause and re-read. Simple things that I felt should have been picked up.

After the cliffhanger from the last book, I expected a better series finale book than this. It was anticlimactic and rushed. The secret island was no surprise and her time there was boring. The way she killed salcombe and the enemy leader was lackluster to say the least. Then just sped through the reclaiming of the city and getting it back on its feet. Then jumped to them getting married and meeting her remaining family on her wedding day for the first time. Not knowing her parents or where she came from was big in the first couple of books, so this "reunion" seemed like an after thought at the end.

Okay I definitely overall loved this series! It gave me Eragon vibes without all the world building and heavy fantasy that makes it a little hard to get into, so I devoured this series pretty quickly off the bat🤣
I loved Zara and her evolution through the books and loved even more that she ended up with Tavarian! I was rooting for him since book 1 pretty much so I saw the build up from the beginning and LOVED that they ended up as end game🥺
Omg and I love that coming in from last books cliff hanger we meet the free dragons like what the fuck??😍 I had a feeling it was free dragons Muzan was staying with when he isn’t with Tavarian but I didn’t wanna get my hopes up.
I think the one thing I would’ve liked more is that anticlimactic end scene with Salcombe and the dragon god, it felt very underwhelming which I hated because there’s been a 6 book build up to this scene but it’s okay because I enjoyed the books overall anyway, especially last book when we meet the god of death!
4 stars!

Overall Series Rating: 4/5 stars
Audiobook Rating: 4/5 stars, paced so well that I flew through these books back-to-back without losing interest for a second!
Format: Audiobook
The Dragon Riders of Elantia is an exciting adventure with fantastic pacing and immersive feel. I found myself laughing at times, and other times being in so much shock that I'd be utterly frozen, needing a moment just to digest what had happened before hitting play again
I fell in love with both the main cast and the supporting characters. Unlike many books where side characters feel like background noise, Jasmine gives each one enough depth and story that you truly get to know them.
The overall flow of the series was impressive, building up tension and excitement with every single book. My only slight critique is that after all that incredible, high-stakes setup, the final book felt just a little bit rushed and anticlimactic compared to what was promised by the build-up.
That being said, I loved every minute of this series, even when it was hurting my feelings! Thank you for creating such a rich and captivating world, Jasmine. I can't wait to step into your other series!

This was a spectacular ending to a phenomenal series! Zara and Lessie never fail to disappoint, and from start to finish it is never ending adventure, intrigue, and action! I'd have to say that this was one of my favorites out of the series, I really loved the stark contrast between Zara in the beginning to Zara in the end. This was a superbly crafted adventure that took you on one wild ride! Thank you for the opportunity to review this gem! Sad to see the end, but what a way to go!

What a great ending!!
This has been my favorite series ever! I love dragons and Lessie would be one I would want to ride and bond with. And you really can't go wrong with a pretty wedding at the end. The action and terror through the whole story kept me glued to the book. I actually hated for it to end, but all good things do eventually, kind of like the Big Bang Theory, ya know?? Thank you for a great read!

The concussion felt rushed and empty. There is too much plot armor, and the bad guys are all flat and boring. The Wright also falls back on they want to rape me or someone so that the reader knows they're the bad guys, thought out the whole series. Even the mc does this to imitate a man like wtf. Then, we are excited to believe women are seen as equal to men here.
This was the biggest disappointment this year, I invested in a good time, and I got a flimsy plot and a shoe horned romance.

Help at last
Was that really the end, the author has finished this tale but left all kinds of paths to travel down again. After all, there is a nation to rebuild, dragon & rider relations to work out & unexplored countries to wander through. Not to mention catching up with all the characters here we've learned to love. Still it was a wild ride & an enjoyable on at that.

If you love stories about Dragons...
I’m not good at reviewing books, but I have to try to give others encouraging words regarding these books. I read all of them straight through to the end and I never was bored or distracted at any time while I was reading them. I’ll recommend these to everyone I know. Thanks Jessica! I’m going to read your other books now! DA Wood

Good series
In all, it was a good series, apart from the mundane things mentioned in the whole series. Also Zara's empathy for the wrong people was odd. The last one was wondering if she should give Salcombe a proper burial. Frankly, Zara turned out to be not so strong. I liked her better in the first book.

A great release from the world...
As the world is battling COVID19 reading this book was a great release. I'd rather be reading about Dragon rider's battling an evil Dragon God, than thinking about this evil virus the world is fighting. Finally Zara gets her HEA. From a Fan... Pam James.

Stars 3.5
Loved the HEA from this series. This last installment rated lower for me than the rest of the series as the ending felt rushed and anticlimactic for me which was incredibly disappointing. However everything wraps up fairly nicely. I would've liked to know more about the free dragons and how things ended for them. The main battle also seemed abrupt and unrealistic... However this does not take away from the rest of the series!
Overall I give the series a 4! Highly recommend if you're a fan of adventure and magic.

Good Overall
I read the series in just a couple days. They are all very short books and while it is a good story. It is very fast paced. Not a lot of world building, no spice(which is fine), and A LOT of editing errors. If you are into dragons, very little romance, and a fast paced short series, this is definitely a good one.

I am sad to see Zara and Lessie's story come to an end but am happy they both got their happy endings. Zara and Tavarion again face impossible odds but find ways to win none the less. The dragons are saved from servitude, the country is saved and the new government treats dragon riders and non dragon riders equally. A fitting end to a fabulously fun adventure filled series!

Series finale
Zara and Lessie have been through so much and grown so much in this series. Wrapping up loose ends and finding a way to stop a war is hard! Salcombe is still in the wind and causing tensions between the Elantians and Zallbarrians

An amazing conclusion to this series! This has been a wild ride with Jessie and Zara and I loved it. Jessica Drake does a phenomenal job building the worlds her characters live in; you feel like you are a part of the action and are fully immersed in what's happening. Fantastic work!

Good
A very good read, just finished the series, both lead characters over time got better has the books went along, a few instances where rather predictable but others were surprisingly on expected. Overall it’s a wonderful series.

Loved the series and am sorry to see it end
This has gone into my "must keep" group of books. Some unusual twists in the plot bring a somewhat unforseen ending. Yes Tavarian gets Lessa, but the fun is in the details, and the consequences. Enjoy!
