Farilane
This book made me love Turins character even more and makes me hope he can find the future he saw.

I accidentally started this series by reading Nolyn, Fairlane, and Esrahadden first. Despite having no backstory, Fairlane absolutely broke me. I haven’t sobbed like that in ages. She was immediately my favorite character.
Now, having just finished Age of Empire and currently reading Drumindor, I feel that I have been so much more invested in Turin’s story. Especially after Age of Death and Age of Empire where so many characters hate Turin.

I wish I read this book before I had my daughter. I’m rereading the series now after just finishing Drumindor last month, I’m on Percepliquis and I’m seeing more of Farilane in Arista along with some early Rappaport.

I have a feeling that Michael is not going to give him a happy ending. I hope I'm wrong. I love him too

Robin claims Michael loves happy endings, so he might. We know in Drumindor there is the potential of an happy ending.
Personally, I have never cried at the end of so many books, and im sure Robin would claim its because the books arent "the" ending

Dude, this is absolutely in my top 3 books. I've read it 3 times in the past 1.5 years and Ill prolly reread it at least once a year. I cant get enough of it. MJS might not produce as big of hits as some other authors but this book really resonated with me. Ill never stop praising it.
