That is unacceptable in a book for me. Atleast major story should have brought to an end. Or at least there must be a mention in the heading that it's been split into parts. I am the one who gave 5 stars for the previous book in this series.
Rise of the Dragon King
But, this book is a no-no for me, mainly because of the above two reasons. May 10, Craig Ott rated it it was amazing. Entertaining I read the book. What more can be said. Yes, books seem repetitive, but so is life.

Rise of the Dragon King (The Dragoneers Saga, #5) by M.R. Mathias
The sequel begins with King Richard, a dragoneer who is exiled on a small island called Serpent Isle. Even as he sinks into the dark abyss of mental illness and evil cravings, focusing more on his past memories, Richard shows the reader occasional glimpses of his former self. As he sets off on a new journey and forges an alliance with King Chad, his brother - th I'd give this a 2. As he sets off on a new journey and forges an alliance with King Chad, his brother - the ruler and the other dragoneers face a new challenge and fight dangerous battles.
When Colossals, powerful winged creatures, attack the warriors and their dragons, they uncover dark magical elements at work - wizards from the Old World. What does this signify for Clover and Crimson and their friends? What role does Richard play in the tumultuous events affecting the fragile peace in their kingdom - the New World? The novel is engrossing in places and some characters are well defined. The book has a Young Adult vibe despite the seemingly experienced and older characters. There is no system of magic in this fantasy world and no restrictions on magical abilities.
Spells seem easy to master and are cast by most of the characters in the book. The narration often strikes a discordant note with the use of modern slang and cuss words in a clearly medieval setting. The author does have a way with descriptions, especially of the battle scenes.

I've the read the free promotional novella - a way of testing the waters when it comes to unfamiliar authors. It had a different and more vibrant feel to it - something I found lacking in this tale. A language and structure edit could do wonders for this one. That said; you may end up liking it in the current avatar. Jan 18, Ian Miller rated it liked it. This is a fantasy book, and seemingly there have been a number in the series before it. I am not sure how much before is relevant to this story, as there are many references to things I could not understand, but since the predominant tool in this book is magic, I guess there is an inevitability about that.
The book seems to have two major strands, one for "King Richard" and one for some other assorted dragoneers, who are elsewhere. There are monsters, wizards, battles where they throw spells at This is a fantasy book, and seemingly there have been a number in the series before it. There are monsters, wizards, battles where they throw spells at each other or use defensive spells, and for me, since I have no idea what such a spell would do until told, I found there to be surprisingly little tension.
The book is well-written at the sentence level, but I found that on a larger scale, the structure tended to be a sequence of events that as far as I could tell were not linking entirely into a whole, This may be because of a serious flaw. Sorry, but this annoys me. Why not finish the story? As it is, I have no idea where this is going, and I am far from convinced I want to find out.
Editorial Reviews
Dec 04, Julie Baswell rated it it was amazing. Richard jumps at the opportunity. He uses his new position to get close to King Chad, and gains another dragon on his quest to destroy the Dragoneers. This was non-stop action from beginning to the end. I like that the dragons had such varied personalities and could voice their opinions. He makes you get caught up in the heat of the battle and you are so invested in the characters that you actually fear for them.
It makes me sad that this was the ending to the saga, but I feel the author did give it a great ending. Jan 13, Betsy rated it it was amazing. I loved this book! I started here at book five and am still hooked! I love the way it is written, the narration and description of the situation-it's like your there.

Mathias has quite the imagination and all the words to put it to paper. Nov 22, Michael rated it really liked it. This was another good read in the series.

It has to be said, it does have certain moralistic overtones the environmental ones are pretty obvious , and this novel continues the trend it even has a dedication to all those millions who have died because of the intolerance of others. Exacting vengeance is what this particular tale is all about. That, and the dangers of power when wielded by the foolish. Chap's parents get killed. Chap goes after the killers. Chap becomes King of the World. Hmm, a rather grandiose leap there, but it all comes good or rather bad in the end, because Hamanu ultimately spells his own downfall through the execution of his extreme prejudices.
You just know that because the lead character gets way too big for his boots he's going to end up coming a cropper. Dark Sun refs may want to check it out for the background details and the descriptive passages, but you wouldn't want to check it out for its plot.
