Chronicle In Favor Of Books Wyvernhail (The Kiesha'ra #5)
HAI HAS ALWAYS been an outsider. With a falcon mother and a deceased cobra father, she is considered a mongrel by most, an ally by some, and a friend by few. Hai's broken falcon wings are a painful reminder of the life she once led on the island of Ahnmik. And here in Wyvern's Court, the avian and serpiente royal family keep their distance, refusing to acknowledge her cobra bloodline. They know that Hai's magic is so volatile, she can barely control it, and images of the past and future threaten to overwhelm her. When Hai's cousin, Oliza Shardae Cobriana, abdicates the throne of Wyvern's Court, Hai has visions only of destruction: the serpiente king Salem, dying in her arms; the dutiful guard, Nicias, unable to save a generation of children; and Wyvern's Court engulfed in flames. Now Hai will do anything to protect her new home - even if it means betraying the very people who need her most. From the Hardcover edition.Rating Based On Books Wyvernhail (The Kiesha'ra #5)

I think what I liked best about this final book of the series is the way everything came together - it was obviously planned out from page one of the series, and throughout the series it was executed subtly and well, revealing just the right amount of information at a gradual and steady pace, all culminating in Wyvernhail. The only issue that I had with the book (which lessened the more I read) was that the narration didn't follow as I would expect it to, considering that the narrator was shownRe-reading favorites from my teen years for comfort. The end of this series wraps up so much plot, so much back story, and so many questions, while playing with time and visions and madness, and its always a blur to try and sort out. Hais story doesnt really include romance, even though she does end up with someone, because shes much more focused on larger implications for the survival of the two kingdoms. In this way, its part two of Wolfcry, as the next generation tries to figure out the path
This book convinced me I should have stopped reading at Hawksong.There are unmarked spoilers below but this series came out in like, the early 2000's and it's obscure enough that probably no one cares.Wyvernhail picks up immediately after Wolfcry, when Oliza abdicates the throne. And I mean immediately. Hai is just finding out about it, and spends the rest of the book having visions and walking around, as one does in a Kiesha'ra book until the plot kicks in.Still, at the beginning, I was hopeful
Again 4.5 rounded up. So this book is an attack on your emotions but well worth the read. Hai's voice is my favorite out of the narrators and makes her a much more diverse character than she has been in previous novels. The only real let down was that, while the book has multiple scenes with the dancers, Urban didn't make an appearance. While Hawksong will probably always be my favorite because of nostalgia, this last installment came close.
And so it ends. Five years of me reading, twenty years of things happening in-universe, more than a thousand years of conspiracy theories leading up to this ending, and... well, when you put it that way, the ending actually seems pretty anticlimatic. Nevertheless, this was a fitting ending to a fairly solid fantasy series. While it had its weak points, just like pretty much every Atwater-Rhodes book I can think of, it certainly could've been a lot worse.The best thing about this book was
I really liked the first three books of this series, very my disliked the 4th one and this one was not a lot better It was confusing, weird, and I did not care for Hai in any of the books, and this is her story in the first person. A good part of it is her in a vision and half the time I really didn't know if what was happening was real or in her head. I so liked Nicias in the first three books and then it all went downhill from there. I still like him but I wanted better for him. I'd recommend
