Summary
Since his arrival in Talohna, Kael Symes has experienced some of the worst that it has to offer. However, when he wakes from a frightening coma, he finds that Talohna’s magic may be permanently broken, and a dire new threat is situated on Solikyr’s doorstep....
With a terrifying and powerful faction so close to his new home, Kael does everything he can to shore up the unstable alliance brokered by Ember and Max before their departure for the World Peace Summit. However, Treach’s unannounced arrival at Solikyr Castle during his search for Niis’ final resting place and a shocking revelation from the summit force Kael and his new apprentice to search for a way to get to Corynth before disaster strikes.
Forced to travel part of the way overland, Kael, Kenna and Sephi stumble across what appears to be a Ri’Tek invasion of Stillwater in Northern Cethos. Though seriously outnumbered and helpless to stop the invasion, Kael and Sephi do manage to help an important witness escape the fighting before pushing on to Corynth.
Protected by the summit’s diplomatic immunity laws, Kael joins Ember and Max in a desperate bid to expose the Ri’Tek for who they truly are, but even the testimony of a high-standing witness may not be enough to sway the World Council to act, leaving Queen Bale no choice but to finally respond to the Ri’Tek on her own. But faced with the invasion, will the stubborn Cethosian queen actually send her troops to war, or will the insurmountable odds finally force Cethos to its knees? With the Ri’Tek firmly entrenched in Stillwater and war looming on the horizon, the Vikress' plan quickly comes to light, forcing events down a nightmare path no one could have ever imagined...a path that may lead to Talohna's long forgotten past and a long forgotten goddess.

Lost its way, needs more solid editing
First of all let me say I love this series, abd the author the wider concept and world building was great in the first three books. Book four started to have larger editorial issues, plus it’s like the chronology previously established by the author is forgotten with events taking place years earlier than possible. It’s as if the author forgot in between the time jumps which feel like they’ve become a tool to speed up the writing. Book five is even more disjointed seeing time periods repeatedly from different characters perspectives add the use of the wrong characters voice or name within a few sentences e.g x died years ago then x is taking part in a ritual in a few weeks. It’s feels like the inter dimensional sci fi element has gone so wide so quickly the characters instincts and decision making has got lost, stopping the main protagonists has also got lost as they win everything whilst the characters go in circles most of all we are given so much information there is no way to process it all, whilst keeping track of the historic plot key points and all. Not to mention the decision with y.

Another fantastic book
JD Franx is fast becoming one of my favourite fantasy authors. Franx books are perfect for escaping I to a realm of the imagination.
I hope Franx starts getting the attention he deserve; as he has the potential to be truly excellent, and is already deserving of praise.
P.s. if this was ever a RPG it would be amazing.
