This is the climax we have been building toward from book 1. A final show down. Who will come out on top?
Restless Stars is the finale we have been waiting for. Each character in these books gets their say in the final epic battle against Lionel Acrux. In each book, it felt like the odds against Tory and Darcy Vega were mounting. No matter who or what they turned to, they were always outnumbered. Now they finally have all of the pieces they can muster and they make their final stand.
Who fights for Team Vega? The Heirs and Counselors; houses of Capella, Altair, and Riegel. The Fae they have freed from the Nebula Inquisition Centers. The star that seeks to keep the balance. The Oscura pack and Dante the storm dragon. Geraldine and her Starfall Legion. Staff from Zodiac Academy. The Nymphs who no longer have to fear the taint of Lavinias Shadows. The Guild Stones. 4 Sayer Dragons with unknown power. Darius’ new brother Tharix. Finally, an army of the dead that is 5,000 strong.
Who fights for Team Lame Lionel? Lionels bonded dragon guardians. Lavinia (but her shadows have been cleansed). Vard and his creepy monster creations. Clyde, the star that cursed the Vega line. An army more than double that of the Vegas. Large war machines and magic artillery.
The ending of this saga was so worth all of the reading. I felt overwhelmed going into this book. Each previous book led to more and more enemies mounting. It felt like we were never going to get to a satisfying victory. HOWEVER, this book was great and the battle left me on the edge of my seat. The last 20% of the book is terrifying and exciting in all of the best ways.
