Dragonsworn

I realize Sherrilyn has an end plan ( maybe?) for this whole world but I feel like her last few books of this series have been a bit sloppy in current story line to compensate for her end game. When I think back to Zarek's story, I remember how moved I was by his younger years and how happy I was when he finally put his faith in someone. That book made me want to read the rest of the series. I think I had to buy 5 or 6 to be up to date and I've waited anxiously for each release date since. To date, I've read that particular book nine times. I usually try to prepare myself for a new book by reading the old ones, I have read Acheron 4 or 5 times and I still cry and Styxx makes me sob with a broken heart more than once every time but the last few. It seems almost like she is purposely trying to confuse people. Almost every new person these days is a God and instead of actually describing a fight scene he or she just throws their god power around and fight over. Or even worse, the old gang get back together again, with people there is no way in hell they would have trusted, including enemies and it sorts itself out. At the beginning of the series there was no one that could compete with Acheron's power. He was the ultimate weapon. That went on for a long time since he IS the ultimate fate and the doom bringer. Then Savitar came along and the Malachai and Beth and now everyone has a bit of something that can destroy the world. I wanted to know Savitars story and Jadens but at the rate it's going and adding as many new stories and characters as she is I just don't think it is going to happen. I did like this story but for a dragon that has been betrayed as much as he had, he gave in awfully easy. If I had read only this book, would I have read the rest of the series as obsessively as I did with Zarek? No. Without the prior knowledge of who some of the people are, I would have been too confused

Only Sherrilyn knows how to write such an intricate plot, but you never feel lost. Her characters are flawless. She is a master of her craft

as per usual, catching and holding me all the way through and even beyond as I cant wait to read the next one to see what happens......
