About this ebook

General Ridgewalker Zirkander is getting married. 

Sardelle—the woman who’s battled dragons, shamans, and countless enemy soldiers at his side—has accepted his proposal, and it’s the perfect time for a wedding. It’s been two months since any dragons or sorceresses attacked the city, the Cofah haven’t come after their kidnapped emperor, and King Angulus has stopped yelling at Ridge for his inadvertent role in destroying the castle. 

Yes, it’s the perfect time for a wedding.

Never mind that the resident dragon who thinks he’s a god is pressuring Ridge to build a temple for him, or that the pirate-turned-scientist Tolemek has disappeared. Or that Ridge’s mother is on the verge of discovering that magic exists and her future daughter-in-law is a sorceress. These are small hiccups, and the wedding will go smoothly. Ridge is sure of it. Really.  

Ratings and reviews

Books 1-3 had me hooked. I think book 4 fell off a bit, but 5 brought it back. 6 and 7, I don't quite remember, but I don't think any of them matched the first few books in the series. Book 8 was a complete waste of time. No adventure whatsoever. Regrets. Oh Wells. I did end up skipping a ton of pages because it just got terrible. Lots of minute grammatical mistakes here and there also. Makes me think not much thought put into this final book.

Just not as good as the others, there were more grammatical errors than the rest, not as much excitement and the wedding was tainted by Jaxi and Weltrad talking the whole time; it took away from the event which is the finale of the series. I almost feel like the author knocked Sardelle up so she could be done with the series. Overall though this series was phenomenal, recommending to everyone I know and I'll probably be rereading soon!

I really have enjoyed this whole series! I really appreciated the slow down in this book, focusing on the characters, but still enjoying a slight adventure. Well done again!
