The Vulture in Fall is the fourth and final book in The Rise of the Hawk series and it was fantastic! To get the full affect so you are able to enjoy them fully, make sure you read them in order. You won’t regret it!! The story was gripping and at times heartbreaking. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster, that doesn’t let you off until the very end. The characters are all strong and demand your attention, they are all so intriguing that unforgettable. I loved the storyline, it isn’t my usual type of book but I wasn’t disappointed. This was such a fun and engaging read.
I reached the end of the Rise of the Hawk series by Bekah Clark when I read The Vulture in Fall. Here are my thoughts on the final book!
Synopsis (from the author):
Trelaren’s influence has spread across Aemonsha, leaving chaos and destruction in his path. Maevan must rise to the challenge of running a kingdom and vanquishing the dangerous threats assisted only by Torrell.
While Maevan fights for all of Aemonsha, Granada is struggling to rule Cardea and protect the Frozen Fortress. With the enemy fast approaching Granada believes she can either be a great leader OR a woman in love; can Sol convince her she can be both?
As Korla and Renna arrive at the Summer Palace, so does the news of Aemonsha and Trelaren’s army. Coran and Meirei are forced to decide whether to flee the Summer Palace or stay and fight; even if it means risking their unborn child.
Will Maevan fulfill her destiny by becoming the queen her mother would be proud of and vanquishing Trelaren, or will she succumb to the dangerously powerful telepath altering Aemonsha forever?
What I liked:
I enjoyed the finale. There was enough action to keep me interested and the intrigue surrounding Trelaren’s treachery added a lot to the story. The relationships that grew throughout the series all resolved at the end (though I won’t say how), and the outcome of Maevan’s battle with Trelaren was satisfying. Overall, the book had excellent characters, good action, and was a good story.
What I didn’t like:
My only complaint about the book was that it focused more on the romance and personalities than it did on the resolution of the underlying conflict. Not enough for me to take away a star, though.
Overall impression:
The Vulture in Fall (Rise of the Hawk #4) was a satisfying end to a great series. If you like fantasy with a healthy dose of romance, The Vulture in Fall, along with the first three books of the Rise of the Hawk series will fit the bill!
My rating:
5 Stars
What a wonderful end to an amazing series!
Battles, love, families, connections; this book has it all. I’m not one of those people who like to give a synopsis of the book because I think the description gives you enough information to decide if it’ll interest you. What I will tell you is that over the last 4 books I’ve become attached to the people of Aemonsha and have loved witnessing them face the odds and band together against their enemies.
I truly enjoy Ms. Clark’s writing style and it’s very evident that she loves her characters. There are a lot of heartbreaking things in the series, but that is true to life. We can’t appreciate the happy moments without having the sad moments. I know you’ll be extremely satisfied with the ending of the Rise of the Hawk series.
‘The Vulture In Fall’ is the fourth and final book in the ‘Rise Of The Hawk’ series. I absolutely love the whole series. The characters’ journeys and their ups and downs kept my interest all the way to the end. And what an end it was! War has come to Aemonsha. Conflicts everywhere you look. Nobody is safe. And, like in every war, tough decisions have to be made and not everyone survives. Death is unavoidable. But who will live and who will die? This last book truly kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The story is very emotional and made me cry more than once. The last few chapters, however, made me smile a lot. In my opinion Ms. Clark did an extraordinary job telling the story and I applaud her. I only wish there were more books in this series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
