Rise of the Drakens #4
The Lost Nation
Surviving torture and certain death, Wren now faces a different challenge closer to home. She's spent months in captivity with Thad, who appears to have embraced his half-breed status and joined up with the demons. Not only that, but he's become their leader. How can she reconcile the male who saved her life with the one who tortured and collared her? Not to mention, her three mates hate him.
Kali is Queen of Aldur after her father's brutal murder and mother's subsequent suicide. Her people are in turmoil as the war has finally threatened their way of life, convinced that the only way forward is for Kali to marry and give them a king. Too bad her sights are set on a particularly fiery, red-headed pirate queen.
Xana had finally been rescued from the demon fortress, only to find out that freedom isn't exactly what it was all cracked up to be. Her unmated status has the males on the island threatening her safety and sanity, and the other rescued females won't hear any talk of leaving their safe, warded homes.
War is here, and the only way forward is together--or not at all. It all comes to head in the 4th book of the Rise of the Draken series.
*This book contains adult situations and themes, including multiple/polyamorous relationships.*

The moment I realized Thad was not going to become Wren’s mate I could not continue the book.
So, I loved book 1, 2 and 3. I could not wait till Thad and Wren finally got together. When Thad pushed Wren away, rejecting the mate bond I figured that Thad just wasn’t yet ready, and that it would happen later in the book. However, the moment I got to chapter 2 (Xana), I became suspicious that the author was going to pair Thad with Xana, but I kept reading hoping that I was wrong. The moment I reached the very end of chapter 2 “The dark draken’s eyes met mine, and something deep within me jolted”. I Knew that I had been right. I went to the reviews (I usually don’t read them, because they tend to mess up the book for me) to make sure that I was correct in my suspicion regarding Thad and Xana, and unfortunately I was. I was pissed, and left feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled and sad. I could not believe it! After all the buildup, chemistry and sexual tension from the moment they met, and the amount of time spent on Wren and Thad just to have them not become mates?!?! It’s as if the author just changed her mind at the very last minute. The author spent so much time building that up and then doesn’t finish it! I feel absolutely cheated. To say I was disappointed would be a gross understatement. I just can’t keep reading. I can’t get past it, it’s just to big. The author built it up to much. The other thing that’s annoying to me is having to many POV’s. I could care less about Xana, and the obnoxious Princess who is only 17 YEARS OLD!!!! That is just to young for me. Even if the character was 18, it’s young enough that it makes me uncomfortable. The only POV that I cared about, and seemed the most important was Wren and her mates. I have never liked having to read entire chapters of the POV’s who aren’t even the main character’s. It’s just a personal pet peeve. It’s ironic that my biggest annoyance in book 1, and 2 was that it was only Wren’s POV, but I still enjoyed them for the most part. I completely agree with the review left by Aaron Moo. I’ve never left a review this long before, but I just needed to get this out. I am left feeling sad, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled.

Could've been better
Loved the series. Was hooked from book one, this book however was the hardest to get through. Definitely needed to go through editing again. And it felt like a really long epilogue used to clean up the cliffhangers from book three. I personally would've preferred to stop at book three.

Disappointing
I’m not sure where to start. Book 3 had decent development so I was anxious so see where this book would lead. Man, was I disappointed. The amount of typos and errors in the writing was insane. Was it even edited? The overall story was okay and very anticlimactic. Not sure if I will even read book 5 when it comes out.

Action packed
What a incredible story. I couldn't put the book down. So many twist and turns. Every character had a thrilling impact on the plot. I didn't want the book to end and am hoping the story continues because there is a world full of mystical creatures who have inner mingled with humans and produced half breeds, and more full blood species as well, but most importantly, a world has been created where hatred doesn't exist and healing has began for a bright future.
Great read.

Loved the idea of this book. But many unanswered questions. I rated it a 3/5 at first because of the many typos and nonlinear storyline. I expected to continue reading about Wren and her community along with the unsolved problems with Thad and Xana, wrens baby, the half-breed what became of them? … etc, so many unanswered questions. However the next book has completely different characters and a new story. In that case I gave this series a 2/5.

4⭐️- so good, just something new and so interesting about the story. Can’t stop reading!
After her failed mating in an attempt to save Thad’s life, Wren is trying to come to terms with the idea of having a baby. Having completed her mating with her three drakens, there is finally a possibility of an heir.
We jump between kingdoms, Kali and her new queendom, Wren and the drakens planning and forming alliance, Thad and his new demon/half-demon peoples.
When word gets out that Thad is attacking Kali’s people, the drakens come to their aid. A rather quick battle that turns out to be a distraction so that Thad can steal back all the half-demon children. With the previously captured witches struggling to take care of the children, it turns out to be fore the best. However, things take a turn when Thad brings Xana back with him as well, at her request.
Tensions run high between all kingdoms, with the new and tentative alliances, it is unsure if they will succeed in their plans to close the overlords pit.
So good. Lots happening, highly recommend!

This is by far my least favorite book of the series.
I think Thad and Xana's story was unnecessary; to me it would have made more sense to have had Thad trauma bond with Wren over their shared experiences, doing what they had to do in order to survive. I know that's messed up, but I don't really care for the relationship that has developed with Thad and Xana, and with it being a fairly important plot point, I lost steam with the series here. There was such a build up between the inevitability that was Thad and Wren, to not even happen was such a let down and a missed opportunity in my opinion.
There are also several misspellings/typos, and instances of a change in POV within a chapter/from one paragraph to the next. I kept rereading parts because the chapter would start out in Benedict's POV, then to have a quote from someone unnamed, referring to Benedict by name, and since he doesn't refer to himself in the third person it made this and many other situations very confusing.

I have become a huge fan of this series!!! I absolutely loved the character growth! I love the direction the story is going on as well and can’t wait to read more! This was my first reverse harem series I have read. And I’m not disappointed I adore the fact that readers get a look of what an actual loving polyamorous relationship can be and what it is! One of the greatest thing about this series is the separate stories that are pieces of a bigger picture. There is always something that is a surprising or shocking. I would love to say more about specifics but feel like I don’t want to be the spoilers person. Once you have read it come discuss!!!

From start to finish, this series has been an emotional rollercoaster and a wild ride. Book four has given us an epic conclusion to the series and I'm not sure what I'm going to do now!
There is so much action and twists that it's hard to tell anything about this book without spoilers. The characters have grown so much and to see how far they've come after everything was satisfying. The author's writing is fantastic and their story telling ability is phenomenal.

A cozy and clever ending to this series. All these different creatures coming togheter and finding their place in the world.
I would like more because it feels like there still are some questions unanswered. However I truly enjoyed reading this.
At times there were too much spice. I like smut, to a certain point. In the beginning all these different points of view bugged me. It made me realize that I prefer one POV over several.

My heart breaks..
Ugh Raven, you are weaving me so tightly into this story!! I love how you bring in the other characters; sharing their struggles and circumstances. But man.. that sacrifice .. that about gutted me. Sometimes I struggle when I see characters I think should end up together not ending up together. But I’m warming to Thad and Xana…. Just don’t break my heart anymore!!

I was disappointed with the pacing and how the series ended with this book. After reading this one I wouldn't really recommend reading the whole series, or just stopping at the lost kingdom and drawing your own conclusions.

The last battle for all of Dora....alliances came together and many many sacrafice made. Storyline again, was developed, charcters got more depth. For me, I was left uncertain and my emotions were all over the place. At the end of a series, I like to feel like there is a conclusion...with this...there were lots of questions that developed at the end, unanswered. I was left frustrated otherwise I would have given it 5 Stars.
The storylines were good, appreciated the way the story evolved and the worlds and characters developed, it kept me reading. Loved how the human's were brought to the final battle, very clever. Did not like the sacrafices they all had to make to kill the Overlord but understood the way it was written and why it had to take that drastic sad turn. Did like the ending with Thad and Wren, that was for sure, they cared for eachother but was glad the author found him a mate. I really liked his character and what he did for the Demons...I thought their ending was completed in the storyline. Kali's and Erik's...what happend to their ending and what about Wren and her mates and their family...who's baby was it? Just a few things that could have had some better closure....for me anyways.
This series had some major triggers for me becasue of my past trama, the violence in this series was intense at times, however, I did enjoy the story that delvelope and am glad I finished.

Honestly at the beginning of this series I was in love with the plot, the pacing was amazing through out Books 1 through 3 but 4 was severely lacking.
One thing I have an issue is: The AUTHOR put thay Thad and Wren were gonna be TOGETHER in the SUMMARY but then we get CURVEBALLED by Thad and Xana. I felt like I was being falsely advertised because I was getting used to the idea of Thad and Wren, there isn't even any chemistry or full flesh interraction between Xana and Thad.
Add on the whole thing with Wren getting another Mate was honestly not necessary, hell even in the first book I felt Benedict being with her wasn't needed but I grew to love him.
I feel her 3 husbands are good enough and the entire chemistry from Thad and Wren was NEVER needed. Again: When I read through book 3 I grew used to the idea but NOPE NEVERMIND!
Now one of the GOOD things I liked:
Was there was no Overlord anymore, the plot twist was great and the climax made sense to fix it.
But at the sametime I felt it fell off kiltered.
I liked that Wren was STRUGGLING with her idtentity and expectations as queen, especially with other female drakens around. I felt it was a shitty cop out for Xana to leave.
Also the entire plot for Kali didn't make sense and I felt it wasn't truly needed, even if it did it wasnt executed very well.
Now I LOVE this series, but I didn't like the Lost Nation. I feel disappointed.

I stopped reading the series after this one.
Yes the remainind three are stand alones, but still. There was so much build uo between Wren and Thad, and then for him to end uo woth someone else was infuriating. The whole time Wren's wings had that fourth white section which lead to the belief that there would be a fourth mate (Thad), and then the rug was pulled out from under us. Yeah, he wasn’t always the greatest towards her, but more often than not, it was to keep her safe, alive, and untouched in the fortress. Besides, Benedict treated her like garbage and they still ended up being mates, so the math isn’t mathing for me. The conclusion was also lacking. Too many unanswered questions. The story just stops. How did Benedict know he was now infertile? Was the baby a boy or girl? Who is the biological father? Did the now infertile Benedict get the chance to father a child? Is everyone who participated in that circle now infertile? What happened to Kali? Was she pregnant and the price she paid the magic was to lose the baby? What happened with Cantrada? Did they find a new leader or do they belong to Kali now? And now I find myself annoyed at the two days I wasted reading these books.

I was anxious to continue this series, but disappointed in this book. First, I wasn't comfortable with the emotional abuse of Even by Thad. It didn't make sense to me. FYI, I prefer strong female characters that flatten abusive partners, and I really thought Wren was developing into that person. Nope.
I found myself scratching my head trying to fit things together in this book. I didn't feel the twists and turns of the relationship between Wren and Thad made any sense, and there were just too many unresolved issues among the main characters. It seemed the author was pulling all the story strings together to get to a quick conclusion, but there were missed opportunities. I did like the overall resolution, but I do not plan to continue reading this series.
NOTE: My biggest complaint about the e-book version of this series is the horrendous editing and proof reading. Way too many words missing, extra words, incorrect form of words, inconsistency of story (more in book 3), characters in 2 places at once, wrong character named in a scene, inconsistent POV...... Not very professional. I almost had to stop reading because it was so bad.

Not a fan of Xana's behaviour switch, definitely seemed like a plot device and super out of character. Thad especially from Wren's perspective seems level headed and like he wants peace, I find it very hard to believe that there wouldn't even be an attempt at contact or a negotiation regarding the demon halflings/Xana situation. You're telling me she just expected everyone to be okay with her leaving without telling them she went willing and wasn't kidnapped?
All of the relationship build up we get will wren and Thad just leads to nothing? And if Xana was even remotely Wren's friend as she had claimed, she should have extended the courtesy of informing Wren that she was going to run off with the man who rejected her?
I skipped through almost all of Kali's chapters because how are we suddenly supposed to care a route for her after she was introduced as a threat? I think having too many POVs makes it harder to connect with the characters in this one.

This one was pretty rough to read. Normally errors don’t really bother me, but this book was rife with spelling errors, missing names, inconsistencies with where the characters were supposed to be, etc. They definitely needed to do a better job editing this one. I’m not sure if I’ll read book 5. It looks like it’s a brand new character that they’re following now? Do we not get a resolution to Wrens pregnancy? Who is the father? What happens to the half breed children? I have these questions, but I’m not sure if I care enough to read on to find out the answers. I did like the relationships between the male main characters. They all seem to work well together to make sure they have their quality time with Wren, but also to bond as a group.

couldn’t finish the book
The grammatical errors were obnoxious in this book. I overlooked the mistakes in the previous books because I was so enthralled with the plot. This book reads like it wasn’t even edited. The plot is also devastatingly disappointing. I don’t understand why the author set up Thad and Wren to be together but then had him turn around and be with Xana. I think it completely negated the character building she put into several characters. I made it to 71% but I just had to stop because it was so frustrating. I wish I hadn’t even started the series to begin with because it feels like a waste, but at least I got it on KU and didn’t spend money on each book.

Don't bother if you care more about wren and her mates then the side characters. I genuinely only got through two chapters before I had to come to this app and look through the spoilers. The author built up mating and Thad and wrens relationship for an ENTIRE book, leaving us all in suspense and waiting for what seemed like the inevitable. But for some reason the author decided it would make more sense for some random side character who we've seen like twice to end being a major plot point throughout the book. Frankly I've only ever cared about wren and her life. I don't care about xana's point of view. That's not why I'm reading the book. If you like the side characters then you might like this but if you were team wren and Thad this is a waste of time and a disappointment.

Gutted and disappointed
I was really into this series but unfortunately this book killed it for me.
Frustrated doesn't even cover how I feel about the build up for Wren and Thad to become mated only for it to not happen and for him to mate another female. Definitely triggered me and I almost didn't finish as it made me struggle emotionally.
Sadly I refuse to read anymore on this series due to this. It's a shame as I really was enjoying it but this plot twist definitely got under my skin and I just can't come back to this series now. I definitely feel cheated and put out for Wren.
Would not recommend if cheating is a no go for you as this is what this book made me feel. It's a shame really.

It was not good but it was not bad... bc of the negative emotions it made me feel...
I feel betrayed by Thad for Wren. I don't think other people's pov were necessary except for Ronan and Kieran... obviously I'm biased. I understand Thad and the reason for choosing her as a mate. They're perfect for each other because they have no strings attached to anywhere and they have the same pov and mentality...
I don't want to be rational about this tho. Maybe that's why I despise Benedict so much as we have some similarities... but let's be delulu and forget that part.
He gained points from me when he chose to protect Ronan and burden the price to pay alone... I hope he redeems himself even more in the future...

He gained points from me when he chose to protect Ronan and burden the price to pay alone... I hope he redeems himself even more in the future...

This series was honestly leading up to being one of my favorites but this book was not it. Every one keeps raging about the grammar but I’m dyslexic so personally I didn’t see any errors. I’m so angry about Thad and wren. What even happened there??? Half of the last book was sexual tension and build up just for him to go for another girl??? I also felt like everyone was fighting for no reason. Does no one have a conversation anymore? So much miscommunication in this book that could have been prevented. Finally what really did it for me was the ending. Did it really end? I felt that there was no solution to anything and it was really hastily thrown together.

I’ve enjoyed the story and was rooting for the potential in this series, but the execution has been lacking with each book. So many errors either switching character pov mid chapter, grammatical errors, talking about the wrong character, etc. I mostly disliked the pacing. It felt so extremely rushed, especially with the multiple POV’s.
Also the buildup to Thad and wren mating…just to have it torn away and switched to xana…I didn’t entirely hate it but it was conflicting. Again, the pacing was off and more build up for them could have made their interactions and coupling more enticing.

Book 1-3 was totally ok when you can ignore some mistakes - because let’s be honest we are just humans and it can happen..well book 4…ahh I was so hoping she and thad will be mates…but nooooooo…then the PoV to other people stories and their „drama“…I just didn’t liked it,..,I skipped a lot because I wasn’t interested in xana or the half water queen and her drama..I think it would have been better that to put to a new book as a maybe small novella o complete other story…I have so many unanswered questions - and maybe that’s just me but I don’t think wrens story should have ended like that

Ook, so I liked the book. However, the book needed more editing and story telling. Some things moved too fast and didn't line up with what Wren said, the sex scenes were fast paced and sometimes hard to understand ( like how can she be on her stomach then lean up to kiss... doenst make sense). But my BIGGEST issue... the unanswered questions!!! Did she giver birth and who was the father?? What about Georg and the other queen who now can't have heirs??? I bought the 5th book thinking it was going to follow their story and its a whole different set of people.. Like why not have the 5th book end with her having the baby then books 5-7 be about their son or daughter???? Book had potential but I feel like it was kind of rushed and not well thought out.

wow
Didn’t finish after Thad mated someone else. Why you you have almost an entire book about them falling in love then he immediately mates with someone else. Won’t be reading any more books from this Thor if she can’t even understand her audiences. Like honestly who would be ok with what happened

Didn’t have super high hopes for this series since I found it on TikTok with no reviews. It was ok. Started alright and is fast-paced enough to keep you interested, but really started falling off. Lots of grammatical errors and some POV mistakes the longer the series went. I really lost the plot. Like literally I didn’t really understand what the point was? So yeah, probably wouldn’t rec

I was along for the ride with books 1-3. Even with the editorial errors, it was still an interesting story.
Book 4 was a big let down. Waaaayyyyyy too much happening, but also boring happening.
Just meh.
