Lastland:War of the Princes (#4) by A.R. Ivanovich

The final book in the series is a fantasy novel and aimed at young adults.

With Rune in the clutches of a Gateling, Katelyn and Dylan, aboard the Flying Fish, are willing to sacrifice themselves to save those they love. Spurred on by the knowledge that Prince Raserion knows how to reach Haven, the two must muster every last bit of courage they possess to join forces with Prince Varion's army to defeat the evil Raserion and his abominable killing machine; the Monarch. It's time for the 700 year-old war to come to a head-will our heroes fulfil their destiny or does fate have other plans?

What a fantastic way to end a series. Some of the action sequences were a little difficult to imagine-probably so vivid in the author's head but sometimes tricky to convey to the reader's mind. Just my subjective opinion though. All the questions I had previously about the characters needing development and back stories were answered; and then some. Twists and turns were added upon layer and layer of action, and just when you think you have the ending figured out something different happens! The ending was not wrapped up too neatly but written so that the reader would be satisfied with the outcome at the point that the book stopped. I couldn't allow myself to savour the pages as I was racing to find out what happens at the end! The only problem that irked me with the book was the kindle copy I received- the formatting was all over the place with words running into each other and spaces appearing where there should not have been spaces.


Other than that I congratulate the author on an excellent job with an amazing idea. Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to review.
