Week 49 Reviews: As She Ascends, When She Reigns


From Goodreads:
Mira, the Hopebearer

Mira Minkoba is on the run with her friends after a fiery escape from the Pit, where she'd been imprisoned for defending the dragons she loves. And she wants answers. Where have all the dragons been taken? Why are powerful noorestones being shipped to the mainland? And did the treaty she's been defending her whole life truly sell out the Fallen Isles to their enemies?

Mira, the Dragonhearted

As her connection to the dragons—and their power—grows stronger, so does Mira's fear that she might lose control and hurt someone she loves. But the only way to find the truth is to go home again, to Damina, to face the people who betrayed her and the parents she's not sure she can trust.

Home, where she must rise above her fears. Or be consumed.

From Goodreads:
The First Dragon

The Great Abandonment has begun. Panic has seized the Fallen Isles, where no one knows which god will rise next. Mira Minkoba believes her dreams hold the secret to bringing an end to the destruction, but in order to save her people, she'll have to find a legendary treasure: the bones of the first dragon.

The Last Hope

Mira's desperate search leads the Hopebearer and her friends on a dangerous journey into the heart of enemy territory: the Algotti Empire itself. The empress is more than willing to help—for an impossible price. And as tensions escalate beneath the shadows of the risen gods, Mira grapples with a terrifying question: What will she have to sacrifice to preserve what she loves?

The explosive finale to Jodi Meadows's Fallen Isles trilogy is ablaze with romance and fiery magic as Mira's fight to save dragons from extinction evolves into a mission to save her world from annihilation. 

My Review:
Wow, it was so fantastic to read these books! I mean, they're pretty big, at around 500 pages each, and the stories just flew right by! They were excellently plotted, paced, and written, and I couldn't wait to read more!

Loved spending more time with this crew! Mira with her anxiety and her new found powers, Aaru who we learned from his perspective how he ended up in the Pit, and all the others! There's some conflict because there's the political motivations and there's saving the dragons motivation, but it was so great to read!

Mira goes on quite the journey in these books, both mentally and physically. She learns about her powers and how to use them as well as their origins. She also learns more about the Mira Treaty, because there is layer after layer of deception woven in!

So many emotions! There were heartbreak and loss, but there were also some really fantastic moments of love and hope. And wow, was that ending intense, and it didn't go where I was expecting it to! Loved it so much!

Loved reading this series so much, and I can't wait to read more by Jodi Meadows, both with Brodi Aston and Cynthia Hand, and by herself!
