Narration As 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.

This one was the worst of all!This is the stori of Hai - a half falcon-half cobra girl Nicias has saved from Ahnmik's asylum.She's deemed crazy and shunned by everyone because of her visions tha do not permit her to interact normally with anyone.OK, said this way it seems interesting enough, but believe me it's not!I understood her problems, but I didn't liked her and didn't care about what heppens to her or to anybody else...This is the best proof that in certain series the best books are theI think Wyvernhail would have been a great end to the series, if there had more coherency in the last three books. Its not that it kept switching "voices", or that it was even inside Hai's warped mind. What I think went wrong was the lack of substance and lack of description of how events went along. It seems we went from an assassination to everything being fine within three pages. As for description, it was odd to see Hai so defensive of Wyvern's Court, or even Nicias. In the last two novels,
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.

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 shown
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 dont remember this ending the first time I read this series; perhaps I didnt even finish this book last time. But I have to say, it was a great ending to the shapeshifter series.Hai was a great narrator, possibly my favourite, to read from. Her ability to see the possible futures could have been boring or exhausting to read, but instead I think it worked really well. The way it was set up, with four books of back story, and Olizas visions in Wolfcry, made it a lot easier to follow than it
