I never expected these two characters to be the focal point of my attention for almost the entire book. If The Veiled Throne was Thera’s story then this book is the story of Jia and Phyro. Little seeds and hints that were sprinkled in the previous books will be brought to the forefront in Speaking Bones. To say that this book will be on my top books read in 2022 would be an understandment. Sides will clash and the outcome will not be what you expect.
Phyro shows the intelligence, skill, and creativity that would make Mato Zindu and his father Kuni quiver with fear.
Phyro has turned himself into a brilliant military mind and is determined to take the fight to the Lyuuku head on. Jia seems to be interested in other sins of the flesh but is almost two steps ahead of everyone else, even the son she is holding the Veiled Throne from, Prince Phyro.
The ten year truce is about to come to an end and the advisors are growing impatient with the ruler of Dara’s lack of action. Jia is playing the long game when fighting the Lyuuku who have invaded Dara. She will make her way to the far north for the winter if she can survive the long nights and bitter cold. It will take so much more then her cunning mind to escape the onslaught of trackers. Thera has lost her tribe, family, and is now on the run from the Lyuuku in a foreign land she now calls home. This will be a spolier free review but I will be touching events in the previous volumes.Īs you will see many times in this story, “all the teeth are now put on the board”, meaning all the chips are in the middle. This series is a masterpiece many authors only dream of writting and it was a joy to see unfold every step of the way. From beginning to end this final volume puts the whole series on its shoulders only to carry it to the top of the modern fantasy genre. How will this epic journey conclude? With a brillant and majestic sequence being told by a master storyteller. One war being fought on two continents with the death toll reaching new limits. One family seperated by land, sea, and a towering Wall of Storms. The final chapter in the Dandelion Dynasty epic is now upon us.
