Revenant
The Wanderers could see the future: civil war, destruction and death. They could not change it.
In the remnants of a lost empire, the hordes of the Serpent, a newborn god thirsting for blood, are gathering to invade the realm with their dark magic.
Dochia, the Wanderer, infiltrates the clergy in the Sanctuary and becomes the newest priest of the Serpent; she needs to close the Sanctuary before the nomad invasion starts. Aliana, a young, powerful Wanderer, arrives to help Dochia.
Codrin, the King and Seer of Frankis, is badly wounded after the battle with the nomads. The Circle and the Wanderers join ranks to unify Frankis, Litvonia and Silvania without him. There is a hard pressure on Queen Saliné, who is left alone; two foreign armies have crossed the border into Frankis. A compromise involving the unification of Frankis and Litvonia is found, but there will come a day when decisions made – and those not made – may be regretted.

It happens rarely for the last book in a series to be the best one. It is the case with Revenant. We have an action novel, drama, political life at the finest detail and a psychological novel, all in one.
It’s difficult to make a full review without spoilers, and I think that the book doesn’t deserve to be spoiled, so I will keep everything at minimum.
There are three arcs of story which are outstanding.
Codrin recovering his lost memories after being wounded. His evolution was touching, and I was glad that, even in his new form, he became the same man I knew from the previous novels, tough and carrying.
Saline struggling with the Litvonians invading Frankis. She is a fighter, and she must act against all the political forces set against her, and even against her own family.
And, of course, everything that happens three years after the nomad invasion, when all the political strings set across the continent come together in (mostly) unexpected ways.

Mistakes were made.
I don't know why Codrin is wishy washy when it comes to traitors. He is constantly betrayed and almost always there are no repercussions for those betrayals.
Hard to read.this book, Codrinn the genius tactician repeatedly out witted by the SAME people/group. He should have killed the circle and some of the wanderers books ago. Do a side story of codrin doing a scorched earth approach. Like 'what if he wasn't a savant battle genius, and had a more well rounded genius'. Do better and thank you for the book.

Okay finale but frustrating
Spoiler Alert!!! Series went off track around book 3 and kept getting more convoluted. One main character, Saline, I kept hoping would be killed off early, like book 2, but no luck. The ending/resolution of the "romance" element was ridiculous. The "Vio" character and some of the other supporting characters were interesting. The hero was likable and "hero" worthy, but the author made him stupid at the end-some of his actions were totally out of character. The ending wasn't as bad as GOT, but it was close. Wouldn't be a re-read series for me, but I'd like to see something else from this author.

A lot of frustration with this book. Instead of telling a story, the book focus is plot twists and over the top backstabbing and duplicity. And then the ending. All forgiven in love, if not war.
It is nice to see the story continue, and tie up lose ends. Not too many typos. The incessant extra marital relationships (seem mainly gratuitous) really negatively shade some of the lead characters (I skipped several such chapters, which did little to advance the plot).
Overall, not very enjoyable.

Not very well done Gender Rant
Entire series is filled with grammatical and syntax errors. I assume it was due to translation errors…at least I hope so. I decided to continue on that assumption since grammar issues are very disruptive.
Don’t know gender of author but if it’s not female, that would be surprising. The series is filled with rape, forced sex, forced marriage and tons of bad decisions by elitist, ‘noble’ women. Author is overly sympathetic and kinda destroys her-his agenda. We, readers, are presented with only bad options for female MCs.
Decisions, decisions and Author fails to convince MCs decision is correct…usually opposite. Strongest argument isn’t very convincing with the ‘saving’ lives options. Just a storyline check mark. Nobility wants to stay that way and they choose accordingly, but under bad situations. Plenty of time for MCs to show genuine concerns for ‘commoners’ but.. didn’t happen.
The plot isn’t the plot, nor the subplots, Author had agenda regarding how women have been treated through out history.
Little mad at myself for continuing but wasted my time.

The whole series reads like something translated into English by someone who is not a native speaker. This is compounded by poor printing, editing and proofreading. There are so many instances of the wrong part of the verb being used or the wrong order of words that fluent reading is interrupted and, occasionally, understanding is difficult. With better production this tale would probably have been worth five stars. The characters are flawed but great, intelligent and human. The villains are nasty and scheming and the story itself is superb. It's such a shame that poor production values make it so difficult to read properly.

The amount of confusing grammar errors in this book would give an English teacher a stroke. I am an avid reader and never have I read a book that was so rapey. Plot introductions that never go anywhere, events that are built up are ended with a simple ...and after they completed their task... By the end of the book I actively disliked the characters and their creator.

almost too good
All the books except this last one great. Spelling and complete sentences were missing. But the last book got stupid, and then I got lost. The end of the book didn’t explain enough and just ended. I felt robbed.
