Dragon Heart #15
Dragon City
His indestructible will cracked, his advance that no army could’ve stopped faltered, his sword, raised against the gods themselves, was brought low... Who was he? Where was he going?
The Ruby Mountains were right in front of him, and his path was clear, but his very soul had been plunged into utter darkness. Will Hadjar be able to find a way out? Will he be able to come back to the light? Or will the endless abyss devour him? His dragon heart was beating slower and slower...

Another great addition to the Dragon Heart series. This actually took me quite a while to read but life's been crazy so that's my excuse. There was so much scheming and manipulations happening in this book I didn't know which way was up, down or if that square was round heheh. Crazy plots! I was so happy to see that Traves and the Dragon Emperor were able to learn the truth about what happened to their family, and that Hadjar made such a sacrifice to save the lives of those he once thought were his enemies. Beautiful read!

Getting worse
Each installment seems to be getting worse and worse, reading damn it all 10 times a chapter made me want to scratch out my eyes, there is still a story worth reading here, but it hidden in a bunch of gobbledygook and word vomit. This was the worst installment to date, but so were the last couple of books, it's getting to the point that it's actually hard to read and am tempted to just put it down and move on to something else. Maybe, hopefully, it was just this story arc which is concluded in this book and the next one will be better.

eview (By Oscar): Dragon City is a wonderful book that wraps up the fifth arc of Dragon Heart. Since the beginning of the series, when we were introduced to the dragon Traves, Kirill set up the threads that were later woven throughout this story. Only now, fifteen books later, we have seen the full tapestry, questions regarding Traves, Hadjar, and the White Dragon area answered. In my opinion, I don't think this could have wrapped up this arc and the connections to previous arcs any better. One thing that I really love about this series is the method for progression. It follows the same pattern that many other cultivation novels do, but what sets it apart is the intricate understanding of concepts that are a large part of the magic system. From understanding his sword, to the wind, we watch as Hadjar comprehends the Nameless World, and his own self. This all makes it where it is impossible for me to stop when a fight happens, each and every fight interesting and entertaining. While Hadjar is OP for his level, nothing feels given, every scrap of power paid in full with his own blood, sweat, and tears. Even then, Hadjar still barely wins - or even survives - many battles, having to train further to go back and narrowly succeed. The LitRPG elements of the book is quite light, but I don't think it needs to be heavier than it is. It takes the form of a neural-network, Hadjar using it to constantly train and fight millions of times against enemies that he has faced. In this way, it really reminds me of Dross from Cradle, something that I immensely enjoyed. Nothing in this book drags on, and at the same time, nothing ever feels rushed, the pacing done very well. This book is filled with twists, each and every one set up in a way that when you see it, you start kicking yourself for not realizing it sooner. I can't wait for where Hadjar's journey to defeat the gods themselves will take him, and with only a fourth of the series left, the possibilities are limitless. Overall, I really enjoyed Dragon City, a book that I think is an amazing end to this arc of Hadjar's journey.

Pēc diženās, lielās kaujas #12 grāmatas Path to the Glory noslēgumā, Hadžars nevēlas neko vairāk kā dzīvot mierīgu dzīvi pats sev. Reizē uzlabodams to citiem, cik nu ir viņa iespēju robežās, kad atver cīņu mākslas skolu, lai mācot citus, varētu attīstīt arī pats sevi. Šis posms, vai pareizāk starpposms, jo tik vienmuļu dzīvošanu Dragon Heart sērijā jau tak nevar atļauties iekļaut, parastai cilvēka dzīvei ir pat ļoti garš, bet vien īss mirklis ilgmūžīgo kultivatoru pasaulē.

Dragon City by Kirill Klevanski feels like a little bit of a reset. Hadjar had become a much darker character over the past few books, and it felt a bit like this was supposed to be part of his character growth and descent into being an old man. Boy... is there a twist in this one regarding that. It is a bit imperfect, especially with the construction of the enemy given previous interactions that still don't quite make sense in retrospect, and therefore gives off the slight appearance of a contrivance. The human rebellion is treated bizarrely, as if Klevanski said "I'm done with this section" and forced a premature end. I wonder if there will be much focus at all on his older companions anymore. This book could also have been called Dwarf City, as we see everything we didn't see in the last book, and it is a little unclear whether chronology alone is enough to make Dwarf City not as important as Dragon City. Overall though, this was good, and I like the change in character.

real rating 4.5 stars
overall another good sequel to the series. the only part i found a bit iffy was the part where hadjar's father suddenly appeared in the end and conveniently showed everyone what really happened in the past. it's weird because those were events that his dad wasn't even a part of when he was alive - i doubt he even knew dragons existed, seriously. so does that mean that all dead people automatically know everything that actually happened to everyone in the world even if the event occurred eons ago? this plot device felt too contrived and too convenient and made little sense. it would have made more sense if some dead dragon showed up and shared the vision... like traves or traves' wife or hu-chin or gevestus, etc.

What can anyone say that’s gotten this far? It just keeps getting better. The world is vast and poetic and the story is powerful. It’s rare for a series like this to actually get better as it goes along. It’s great how stuff from the first book is still getting tied into these later ones. This is probably my favorite of the series so far.
The author is also dedicated and it seems like the next installment is always in the horizon, which is very admirable nowadays.
I can’t recommend the series enough.

One of the Best!!!
I’ve fallen in love with this series from book 1. There are some ups and downs but to be perfectly honest that’s what makes this series so great. You’ll fall in love with hadjar and hate him sometimes as well but then go straight to loving him within just a couple of pages. Nothing turns out like you would expect and it will leave you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

at last the oath is fulfilled, but this is not the end
Kirill has done it! Finally, we see how the oath taken so many books ago gets fulfilled and to see his characters return to themselves but much more grown and developed. This book has many hidden lessons for those that can find them as each lesson is personable to the one reading it. Loved this installation and can't wait for the next one.

started slow but finished very strong
I am amazed how he can continue to write in such dense plots. Every detail is important. Every word is prophetic. As you move further along in the series your investment gets rewarded. Book 15 continues that tradition. Started slow, but I’m so glad I stuck to it.

This was an awesome book with layers of intrigue and mystique that I loved and as a longtime fan of the series it just hit all the right spots for me and to me showed that there was planning and set up for this book as far back as book one!

love the series
Love the series. Like how some things finally come to a conclusion. However, there were times of describing things that seems to slow down the momentum. Those time caused the story to drag a bit.

I think I'm going to give up on this series. As a general of thumb if the series pass 9 books (3 sets of trilogies) the series start to stagnate. I put down this damn ramblings of a runaway freight train. I don't think even Kirril knows where his story is heading. Ahh well

I think I need another break from this series. I came back to it because it was on Audible Pluse and I like free things. The story is just hard to follow.

Kirill as usual continues to deliver the drama in another instalment of this epic. I couldn’t put this book down.
