The Feather Gambit
It’s not so easy to kill a god.
While the dragons and the rest of the creatures of Etra are recovering from the battle at Treka, Kai is doing his best to navigate his new political climate. News of a kidnapped griffon draws him into a journey further south than any other dragon from Etra has ever been. After a close call with a metallic human, his group is forced to sneak into a human city for answers.
Fara is one of her tribe’s best hunters, yet still drawing the ire of the elders. When she discovers a path of destruction in the jungle, she faces a difficult decision: ignore the threat, or face exile.
Martin’s powers have been growing exponentially since he found the mysterious black scale. Desperate to prove his worth, he’s offered a spot on a mission to infiltrate and disable a factory in Ubui that produces powerful magical weapons. Enlisting the help of four odd strangers claiming to have defeated a colossus before might be the reprieve his group requires.
As long as they don’t kill each other first.

Good continuation and conclusion of the first book The Forgotten Element (it seems it is not correctly set up as a series on GR). It felt well balanced in buildup, tension and release.
The plot clicked into place and the characters felt right, even secondary ones fleshed enough.

Satisfying conclusion
Read this as soon as I finished the first book. I enjoyed reading about Kai and his friends' exploration of the new continent and interaction with its inhabitants. I like that there are more characters introduced and given some spotlight, but I thought the perspective shift happens too quickly in some cases. One time when it switches to Fara's, I accidentally read on from Kai's perspective anyway and got confused when Kai is referred to in third person.
Perspective shifts are a nice addition, but because the story is told in first person, I found myself distracted sometimes trying to remember whose eyes I was viewing events from and shifting my imagination's gears.
Anyway, I'm happy with the satisfying conclusion to an enjoyable story. I'm looking forward to the mentioned standalone story.

Second (and final) book is even better than the first. Again, at the time of writing this commentary it has not a single rating or review. I feel it deserves greater recognition
As for the book itself – author is clearly fan of dragon literature, because I have never seen so many various dragon tropes in only one novel. And surprisingly it works very well, and plot is not complete mess. Because of that book does not contain anything I have not seen before in other books, but never all of that in only one book.
Whole (mini)series was fun read and so far, my biggest surprise of 2022. I will keep an eye on this author.
