Morgan Rice does not disappoint with book six of the Age of the Sorcerers series. I give Dusk of Dragons five stars as the story draws characters introduced in the previous books into the plot. She does a fine job of bringing closure to some plot threads while lighting the fuse to new threads that keep the story sizzling with fascinating possibilities and burning questions that keep the reader turning the page to see what happens next.
Lenore steps into a role of leadership to pit herself against Emperor Ravin. War draws clear lines between good and evil in the strategies used to reclaim Royalsport. I also enjoyed seeing characters reunited, relationships mended and romances budding under the surface even amid much death and loss.
As far as magic goes, there is the Royal family’s sorcerer, Sorcerer Grey, and his two apprentices who didn’t know a thing about each other until now. One apprentice is arrogant and full of him self and the other comes from a lowly family…or so he thought until he learned his unloving parents weren’t his parents after all. This whole part of the plot is bubbling under the surface with possible twists and turns that keeps the reader hungry for more.
Along with all that, the dragons are much more part of the story now and pose an active threat to the humans. The thing that’s different in Rice’s fantasy world is that some people are infected with the scale sickness and are forced into exile. They have the potential to transform into something no longer human but akin to the dragons. Among them is Princess Nerra who rides on the back of the queen of dragons. The transformed Nerra is unaware of the war, or the death of her parents and brother. It adds another layer of possibilities to the story for sure.
The truth is, I could go on and on about various characters that add to the richness of this story, but I try not to include spoilers in my reviews. I recommend Dusk of Dragons to anyone who enjoys fantasy and especially those set in a medieval setting that includes royalty, peasants, sorcerers, dragons, military and more. Rice is a masterful storyteller.
Book six in the Age of Sorcerers series is a book filled with strategy, underhanded skull-duggery, and bloodthirsty battle. So many factions come together in this book, and lots of explosive events take place. This book is one of my favourites in this series. Morgan Rice has bowled it out of the ball park with this book. Lots of action, there are dragons, and magic, so what's not to like?
The only negative I have to say is that the books are a little short. There are less pages in all the books in this series than in normal books. I find this frustrating because it costs the same to buy them. Other than that, there is nothing negative to say about the series. I have enjoyed each book in it and look forward to reading the next one.
Lenore is now queen and with the aid of Odd, the commoners, and some loyal noblemen, her army is converging on Royalsport to reclaim the throne from Ravin. Meanwhile, her remaining siblings are either already in the city or moving toward it, including Neera and the Dragon Queen. Devin and Sigil are desperately searching for the Unfinished Sword and the amulet which are in the possession of the Emporer’s new Sorcerer.
This book has everything I look for in paranormal action/fantasy. The action is non-top, the storyline is a real page-turner, and there is plenty of drama and suspense. This is a spell-binding series! I received a free copy but my review is voluntary and honest. .Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down!
I was given an ARC of this sword and sorcery fantasy adventure and I really enjoyed it.
The cast of characters fit well into the story; heroes and the brave, the cowards and the villains. There is plenty of action and a great sense of place.
The battle scenes are well done, while the plot has magic, intrigue and mystery. It's fast-paced and well-written.
What the future will bring...who knows? Anything can happen in a fantasy.
Dusk of Dragons is an exhilarating thrill ride that plunges you straight into an epic battle for the kingdom. Lenore's fierce quest for vengeance against King Ravin intertwines gripping storylines and unforgettable characters, each facing their own challenges and surprises.
With twists that flip heroes into villains and the stakes constantly rising, this installment keeps you on the edge of your seat. Rice's writing is engaging, making every page turn an adventure.
Family unity and politics as the story continues. This book of knights and magic is a genre that Morgan Rice excels in writing and this book in the series continues in. that tradition. The characters are strong and well-developed and the story carries on its continuum, carrying the reader delightfully along with it. A very good book.
Finally FINALLY the rightful heir to the throne is restored!
To be honest, I wish the series would just end here lol but I know the storyline about Nerra and her herd of dragons (basically another war) still needs to be resolved.
But ahhh the last Chapter was good, perfect. Good riddance to Ravin, and things at least for now, just seems right.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
You never let me down with your imaginative stories. I get so engrossed and finish them quickly. I'm glad they beat the evil ravin. I'm wondering now how they are going to beat or live harmoniously with the dragons.
The various twists and turns the redemption of characters you love to hate makes the series most enjoyable. Then the dragons must not be left out of any trying to figure where the author is going with the plot
I had planned on reading books 5 and 6 of the Sorcerer Ring series but accidentally bought books 5 and 6 from the Age of Sorcerers, which was unfortunate since I hadn't read any of the previous ones.
Mine was an e-book from Kobo but that edition wasn't available to choose.
A magical adventure with wonderful characters in a mystical world where anything can happen as only Morgan Rice can imagine and write it. A very good book.
Another installment of the Age of Sorcerers Saga fills us with hope and horror. We revel in family reunited but mourn the loss of more beloved characters. As the final battle looms on the horizon, many factions seem unaware of its approach. There may even been hope for redemption for some of the less likable characters. That might depend on what happens in the next installment though.
This series has been riveting and I love it. I have found myself staying up way too late to read that next chapter and anticipating where the story is headed, often being fooled but pleased. If you like heroes, reluctant heroes, strong female characters, magic and dragons, why are you not reading these books?
