Spoilers
This book was better than number 7, but it was only okay. I know I said I would probably wait to read this one but decided to go ahead and just finish the series out.
Pro:s
The book completely wraps everything up. There is no suspense left. I really liked that.
Again I adore the way almost every character seems to be the star of the book.
I loved that Devin could communicate with dragons with only magic, Love that him and Lenore got married( Finally, someone gets a happy ending) and I am interested in the love affair the is sure to blossom with Erin.
This author would not hesitate to kill a character off. You never knew who would live or die in this series
Con's:
I was tired of each chapter switching between each character. Some chapters felt long and seemed like they could have been left out, or some of the information more concise.
I really thought there would be more drama involving the dragons, they still seemed like minor characters in a sense.
Why did the Dragons not attack the other kingdoms as well? If they wanted to gain control they should have been spread out. I was expecting to find Erin having to fight dragons where she was as well.
If the dragons can sense the stone. Why did shadr not know that Greave didn't have the stone?
why was Shadr so jealous anyway? I want to know her backstory because she was one intense dragon. Why was the oldest dragon so easy to beat. He died in battle almost immediately. The one who is one of the oldest dragons? Why didn't Devin help heal his wounds?
Overall a decent book but I liked the first couple of book so much more. At first I wondered if the series seemed to last forever because there were eight books, but then I thought of the Harry Potter series which was about 7 and held my attention. Then I realized some of the chapter were purely mundane. And the book had so many fight scenes that I thought I was re-reading the same scenes.

Couldn't put them down
Read one after another, night after night until through. Never reached a "slow part". They were all a great read.

I was given an ARC of this story and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This conclusion to the series follows the lives of interesting characters, from queen to thief to villains to heroes. It's an epic fantasy filled with magic, battles and dragons. Its themes include power, cruelty and cowardice alongside bravery, sacrifice and love.
The sense of place was very well done as was the plot and thoughts and feelings.
Another great, well-written series.
Recommended.

This conclusion to the series of books has been an adventure that is rememberable. This book along with the other provides a tale that is full of characters that fulfil our dreams of the past of queens, princesses, dragons, and knights, along with all the bad guys. How can one go wrong with such delightful characters? This book and the series are extremely good.

Dragon literature at its best
The weaving of good and evil in the interaction of people and dragons to build to a respect for each other with many twists and turns to produce a really enjoyable story with multiple threads all coming together in a great tapestry of people who though fiction strike the reader as real as you and I.

This 8 book series was great! If you’re a fan of fantasy with dragons, magic and a kingdom to be saved, this series is for you! I’m sad that it’s ended, but this was a great read!

What an epic ending, heroic deeds, bloody battles, love stories, death to traitors, death of loved ones, dragon battles. This one had it all. I found the entire series a great read.

A must have for your fantasy bookshelf
Dream of Dragons is the final book in the Age of Sorcerers series by Morgan Rice. I give it five stars and applaud how she ties up every plot thread with her large cast of characters. She leaves no questions rattling around in the brain by the end of the story.
Like real life, not everything goes the way one hopes as the plot takes some surprising twists. It is enjoyable to read an unpredictable story. It keeps me hungry for more. In this case, it costs a few beloved characters their lives. I will say no more because I do my best not to include spoilers in my reviews.
Throughout this series, Rice shows the reader how the magic in her world works, enough to understand what various characters are doing as they conjure up what they need in a given circumstance. In this final book, the lines of good versus evil are drawn between those who wield these magical powers. This includes dragons, humans trying to get their hands on the amulet that will control the dragons, and three sorcerers, each with their own plan for how things should play out.
Watching the members of the royal family grow in their roles in this last book brought a measure of satisfaction as well as disappointment. Not a bad kind of disappointment, but the kind of disappointment we experience in real life when things doing work out the way we would like. The living out of their destinies brings with it a fantastical realism and she delivered one scene that really caught me by surprise near the end.
Along with this, there are a few different relationships going on throughout the story, to make you hope boy-gets-girl, or girl-gets boy, and even one case where enemies might just be falling in love. In this final book, all this is resolved.
I recommend Dream of Dragons as well as the entire Age of Sorcerers series to fantasy readers, especially those who enjoy “clean fantasy” free of explicit sex. If you enjoy sword and sorcery fantasy, this series is a must-have for your bookshelf.

What an exciting finale!
This final book in the Age of Sorcerers series has come full circle. The characters go thru so much. Death is everywhere, and evil follows closely behind it.
This finale is a thrilling and outstanding one for sure. So much action, so much evil is exposed. So much danger for literally everyone. With one family at the centre of things, struggling to do what's right and hopefully stay alive.
This book was a potent one and I really loved it. I became so involved in each of the books in the series and found myself looking forward to each one as I finished the previous book. I am sorry the series has ended, I wish it was a little longer. There were specific characters that I would have loved to learn more about. The Hidden, for an example.
Morgan Rice is such an amazing author. She creates such wonderfully complex worlds, and such fascinating scenarios. Morgan Rice is my favourite author across all the genres she writes.

The Queen is dead – Long live the Queen!
The forces are all coming together but the casualties have been dire. Too many of the royal siblings have died to save the kingdom. Erin’s attempt to kill Nicholas has ended in captivity, Vars is under the control of the Hidden, Nerra is dominated by the Dragon Queen, and Lenore has put an end to the Dance of the Suitors. Devin barely survived being thrown into the crevice by Anders and now follows the Wizards order to find for the oldest dragon before the Dragon Queen completely destroys the land in a wall of fire.
This is an incredible ending to the Age of Sorcerer’s series! It is perfect!! I received a free copy but my review is voluntary and honest. My only complaint is that it is over.

awesome series
I have read this series twice and have really enjoyed it both times. I enjoyed all the characters and I liked that you could keep up with them. It is refreshing to read something that truly holds your interest and isn’t riddled with foul language and sexual innuendo. With some of the main characters dieing it reminds you of the frailty of mankind.

Overall good series but the last 2-3 books were kind of limping along with a lot of padding and a shock character death to liven things up. Should have stopped at volume 5 or 6. Still enjoyable though.
March 26, 2022
This final installment of the Age of the Sorcerers gives some finality. To do so, many more characters find their end. Morgan Rice also may have hinted that more stories remain to be told about the surviving characters, which means I might be delving into another series of her tales at some point.
April 15, 2025
4.25 stars for the epic conclusion. It was satisfactory enough, my only real complaint is for Erin! Sticking her with some stranger we barely know was sad. Other than that, I am pleased with this wrap up!

A Real Winner
An avid SF fanatic for 65 years, I started book 1 about a week ago. Just finished #6! After all these years, a new competitor for Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land"!

I really enjoyed *Dreams of Dragons*!
It’s packed with the right amount of intrigue, magic, and a hint of romance.
Queen Lenore’s journey to defend Royalsport keeps you hooked, and the dragon-human conflict adds so much excitement.
Though it wraps some threads, it leaves me curious for what’s next. Overall, it’s an entertaining read that kept me engaged from start to finish.
