This is another blockbuster in the Fallen Empire series. Captain Alisa and her eclectic crew are still hunting Jelena, Alisa’s young daughter who was kidnapped by Starseers. Unfortunately, Jelena is with Thorian who is the heir to the Empire, and EVERYONE else is out to kill or capture him. Plenty of action, drama, twists and turns!
Characters similar to her “Emperor’s Edge” series. I loved them, so I enjoyed the Fallen Empire saga, too. Buroker does an excellent job of writing a story that is both easy to read, and still mature enough for adults to enjoy. Her stories are fun and the interactive dialogue between her characters is very natural.
This is the seventh book in the Fallen Empire series and it was a pretty good one. This one almost solely focuses on Alisa finding her daughter. They go to the place where they last heard the children where, but run into some complications along the way, ofcourse nothing could ever be that simple. I liked seeing the story progress and the way the ending set’s the stage for the next and last book.
This book works on some of the plot lines that were going on from the first book. Namely Alisa’s journey to find her daughter, the search for the staff and Leonidas’ struggles and his romance with Alisa. This book progresses all of those, some more than others and it was a strong addition to the series. I did find the part with the androids later on in the book a bit dull as it felt like a way to lengthen the book and it wasn’t as interesting to read about. But the rest of the book was all great to read.
I liked that Alisa finally has some combat armor and gets in the middle of some battles in this one. She is still figuring out how it works, so that give some funny scenes and also some action packed ones where she has to use her armor’s functions in the mists of battle. I liked how her armor gave her an even more prominent role in the battle and she could actually do more.
I liked seeing how Alisa dealt with the things that happen in this book. And there are some great scenes with her and I felt like this book really showed her personality. Her love for her daughter and the urgency to finally find her is obvious. As well as her seeing how she’s fighting for Leonidas and hoping to end his struggles in this book. It had some nice more emotional scenes as well. I liked seeing what she went through in this book.
There were some fun scenes with some of the side characters as usual in this book. Although the main focus really is one Alisa and Leonidas, the others still make appearances as well. I like reading about these characters and seeing them interact.
To summarize: This was another solid read in this series. I was happy to see some of the ongoing plot lines progress quite a bit in this book and the main focus being on finding Alisa’s daughter. I liked following the events in this book and there were plenty of action scenes and things going on. Alisa takes an even more active role in the fights now that she has her combat armor, which was great to see. I liked how this book resolved some things and the ending nicely sets the stage for the last book in the series. I am curious to see how this series gets wrapped up in book 8 and how some of the plot lines will progress.
I always enjoy Lindsay’s characters. Easy read, like able characters, and fun adventures.
Also some interesting words in the script, they pop up and though I get the gist, I’ve never seen them before, very enjoyable.
