Interpretation Toward Books Elegy for a Lost Star (Symphony of Ages #5)

Elegy for a Lost Star sets the stage for a major turning point in the Symphony of Ages series.

The dragon Anwyn--who has lain for three years in deathlike sleep in a grave of rock and black coal is freed by the cataclysm that concluded Requiem for the Sun. Disoriented and confused, she remembers only two things: the person who trapped her in dragon form and locked her in a rocky grave--Rhapsody; and an all-encompassing desire to wreak vengeance.

Meanwhile, Achmed, the Firbolg king, resumes rebuilding the his shattered home, while a guild of merciless assassins set about taking revenge on him for the killing of their leader.

A horribly deformed but magical being finds its way through a carnival of freaks to the palace of an evil despot, who sees in it the potential to be the instrument by which his plans of conquest and brutal domination of a continent will be realized.

With the rise of new leaders, good and evil, the long-awaited birth of the Child of Time, the dark plans of assassins and rulers, a confrontation that shakes the relationship of the Three, and a battle to the death between two dragons of unimaginable elemental power, the seeds of chaos are planted for a war that will, by its end, consume half of the world.

Write-Up Regarding Books Elegy for a Lost Star (Symphony of Ages #5)

A very disjointed read. It wasn't until almost 3/4 of the way thru it that I actually became interested in the characters and what was happening with or to them. The ending was unsatisfying in that it just set up the next installment of the series.This book might have been more enjoyable if I had read the preceding one. I won't be looking for it or the sequel though...

Haydon is a big fan of bringing enemies back from the dead -- you thought he was vanquished forever, but NO! -- and this book reaches the farthest. A little hokey? Yes. But an entertaining read, nonetheless.

4.5 The thing that bugged me was how many sub-plots there were. It was hard to keep track of and some of the plots had nothing to do with the main plot. I'm sure they will come into play in The Assassin King, but it left a lot of name bobbling around in my head after their story was dropped. Some reappeared neared the end and I almost forgot who they were and why they were important. Now onto the many strong points of this novel. It's consistent with the rest of the series in lore and world

The series should have ended after Prophesy. It's almost like Elizabeth Haydon began fan-ficing her own work. Characters do unlikely things, develop new talents, and in general, it's sort of become, "Throw magic at it and make it all better," sort of writing.

I don't have a pleasant review for this one. There's a reason that I never finished it the first time I tried reading it, way way back in 2008, besides the fact that I knew book 7 didn't have a release date (and wouldn't until 2014).I know part of my displeasure with this book was the audiobook narrator, who just really needs to calm down and stop putting too much emphasis on all of his words. It creates this weird feeling of anticipation or building up without conclusion, like a series of

It was interesting but way too long. The plot was centered around Rhapsody's pregnancy, which isn't interesting enough to carry a book. Basically this one was setting up the next book, which should be better.

I am still completely in love with this series. This particular book had a few slow parts that were repetitive of the previous books, but still well worth the read! Looking forward to the next one. (sorry had phone issues and forgot to do my book updates. I'm guessing on date completed. It did take me longer than usual to finish but not because the book was bad. just have been in a reading funk lately )
