A few thoughts:
🎀 This one started out as the best of the series so far! Much faster paced than the others but definitely slowed down towards the end for me & lost me a little with all the battle talk.
🎀 Despite this, I’m so far into the hype now that all my FYP’s are Empyrean themed. 
🎀 I finished this feeling somewhat confused… What just happened? What was that ending? What did that even mean? I’m hoping that some of the fandom have created some feedback/guidance somewhere to help me wrap my head around it all! 
🎀 I would love to see a comprehensive break down of meanings for things within the story as well as a compendium of dragons & riders. I found it hard to keep track of these things throughout this book as we added fliers to the mix & even professors. Just so many things & characters to keep track of.
🎀 While it was one hell of a ride, I don’t think this was the best of the current three released in the series. I do feel the author has her work cut out for her. While the fans are loyal.. this one lost me a little & it will take some serious action in the next book to pull me back in. 
🎀 Andarna 🥺 An obvious favourite but Ridoc rose through the ranks in this book!
