Publisher's Summary:
War has ravaged the world. Cities lie crumbled. Forests smolder. The crows feast.
In the ruins, Requiem's last dragons lick their wounds and mourn a death among them. But they will not have long to grieve. From the ashes, a new enemy arises, one more horrible than any before.
His soldiers dead, the tyrant Dies Irae collects severed limbs, heads, and torsos. He sews them into rotting, maggoty mimics of life. With dark magic, he animates his creations...and sends them hunting.
The mimics live to kill. They do not sleep. They feel no pain. They never stop hunting. Worst of all, they undo all magic around them. When mimics are near, Requiem's survivors cannot become dragons...and must fight as humans.
Without their greatest gift, how can Requiem's children survive?
Members Reviews:
Great series.
The story is intriguing and keeps the reader wanting more. I found myself staying up late reading, devouring pages like a hungry termite at a lumber yard unable to control itself around all of the delicacies at the ready. This series is a must read for all fantasy book fans. Truly an original and brilliant concept on dragons. Well written and well thought. The editing however could have been a bit better, but not bad enough to take away from the epic story the author laid on paper. On to the next series about Requim, May the characters in this series be as intriguing as Benedictus, Lacrimosa, Gloriae, Agnes Dae, and Kyrie were. "May our wings forever find your skies"
The final chapter...and it's impossible. (SPOILERS)
So, I read the first novel in this series, Blood of Requiem, and was thoroughly impressed. So obviously, I read books two and three. And it was just...impossible. I say impossible because I could not feasibly understand how the main characters didn't die of exhaustion. Moving here, moving there, pining for freedom...it was exhausting, and not in the good, edge-of-your-seat, Lord of the Rings kind of way. And then there was the villain, who, other than being very one dimensional and creepy, was just too powerful. The beings that he had under his command kept getting more and more formidable, and yet...the good guys still win with a handful of dragons and griffins? Sorry, it was just too unbelievable for me. Yes, you can be arrayed against a huge enemy and still prevail...but...really? I read the description of his army in the last chapters and just rolled my eyes after a certain point. He made the enemy too powerful, and yet also easier to defeat than a stale bagel.
I would say, yes, read Blood of Requiem, but if you don't want to spend the next few days reading the sequels that will honestly destroy the first book for you, just read the synopses.
The mighty has roared and the evil finally get their's
I am so glad that the dragons finally get their day and took care of that evil tyrant of the desert. She had done the dragons soo wrong because she held onto a dream or possession of her childhood love which she turned it to be something else.
This book was well done in my opinion and the evil queen should have been roasted a long time back but I am glad some still lived to carry on their ways & traditions.
I am hoping in the next series the author puts the same amount of exitement in these new ones as he did the first 6 books.
