The Drowning Empire #3

Bone Shard War

A solid conclusion to the series!  Did I learn everything I wanted to about the Alanga?  No, but I'm greedy that way.  I love the history/lore that form the backbone of any good story. 

What I had suspected regarding the maturation of the Alanga/ossalen bond played out and was both satisfying and tragic for a number of different reasons.  It was right for the story, but also kind of sad.  I would have loved to learn more about Dione's ossalen beyond what was inferred.  

The character arcs resolved in ways that felt appropriate - both those with redemption arcs and those without. 

Would I read future (or past) tales set in The Drowning Empire?  Absolutely if she ever feels there's more she wants to tell!

An excellent end to the trilogy, with stakes that just keep climbing (and islands that just keep sinking!!)

From the author of The Bone Shard Daughter comes the final book in the Drowning Empire series, as the fate of Lin Sukai--and her family's dynasty--lay in her hands in this action-packed, magic-laced epic fantasy. Lin Sukai has won her first victory as Emperor, but the future of the Phoenix Empire hangs in the balance - and Lin is dangerously short of allies. As her own governors plot treason, the Shardless Few renew hostilities. Worse still, Lin discovers her old nemesis Nisong has joined forces with the rogue Alanga, Ragan. Both seek her death. Yet hopes lies in history. Legend tells of seven mythic swords, forged in centuries past. If Lin can find them before her enemies, she may yet be able to turn the tide. If she fails, the Sukai dynasty - and the entire empire - will fall.
