review 1: In this action packed conclusion to the Song of Dragons Trilogy, the dragon shape shifters of Requiem fight their last desperate battle for survival. If you have a weak stomach, you may want to skip this book. Dies Irae's obsession with destroying the last living members of his own race, coupled with what it cost him to gain control over the Nightshades, has driven him completely insane. The monstrous undead creatures he creates from mutilated body parts (both animal and human) are some of the most gruesome things I have ever encountered in a book. They're vicious and almost impossible to kill and the descriptions of them are enough to give anyone nightmares. I found this to be a satisfying conclusion to a very good trilogy. I cried, I gasped, I bit my nails, I rode the ro... moreller coaster ride with these characters and felt their triumphs and defeats. I hated Dies Irae, even while realizing he was not entirely at fault for the person he became. This is definitely a trilogy I would recommend to anybody who enjoys a fast paced, action packed, fantasy story that culminates in an ultimate battle of good versus evil.
review 2: This review is hidden only for people who have not read the first two books. There are no actual spoilers. Premise: As the last book in the trilogy, Dies Irae is STILL not dead...and he is as evil as ever. Seriously how hard is it to kill this bastard? In my opinion he should have died long ago. Anyway our heroes are now facing a new and even more vile threat: Mimics. This book was filled with action. It was nonstop, so nonstop it was pretty unrealistic. The amount of injuries these characters sustain is ridiculous. I have no idea how they survived at all. But regardless the plot was engaging and kept me reading. Writing: Same as the first two books really. The only difference is it got much more graphic...in every sense. The intimate scenes, the gore, everything was kicked up a bit. Again the writing can be very repetitive...very. I feel some of the concepts were ripped off of Game of Thrones and Lord of The Rings. One that really stands out is sometimes characters would say "Winter is Coming" during Inner Monologues. Humor: I didn't laugh at all in this book...this is one gritty, disturbing, intense ride. Very dark.Characters: They have pretty much stayed the same except now they are finally starting to show true signs of how the horrors around them are affecting them. But really...do I really have to read the same inner monologue drill every time a character might potentially die? That got old. Journey: This book was much shorter then the other two, which were already quick reads. The Journey is very intense..and it was kinda exhausting to read, but thats not a bad thing in my opinion. The emotion is there. less
