So sad Sophia's story is over - but it's AMAZING!

Oh boy, I don't even know where to start with this book - I could not stop listening (finished it in one sitting), yet I didn't want it to end because I knew it was the last book in the Sophia series (sob sob).

We first meet Sophia way back in the first Liv Beaufont book as an 8 year old girl. Who knew she would go on to become what she is 24 books later. She has grown in so many ways - despite only 2-3 years elapsing in the span of both series, Sophia has become a very mature, thoughtful, young woman, whose sense of justice is clear throughout this series. She was born to be a dragon rider. And Lunis gets some of the credit for that.

As usual, Sophia is juggling many tasks - doing one task leads to her having to do another, and that one to another and so on just so she can get the first task completed; Lunis is his usual witty self (and there's one bit I'm still laughing at - it involves a snowball and that's all I'm saying on that - it's so freaking funny :D); Liv is worried about her baby and what the Genie has done to it; new angel dragon riders arrive - and one is a surprise in more ways than one.

Will the corrupt council members get their comeuppance at last? Will Mortimer be able to solve his problems with the Union? How many times will Ramy die? (Gotta laugh at that one - Ms Noffke really knows how to kill her friends lol)

Rudolf, despite being a complete airhead, comes through yet again. I didn't like his character when he was first introduced in the Liv books, but he grew on me and is now one of my favourites.

Versalee is causing major havoc in the world and must be stopped, but where is she and the rogue riders hiding?

There's so much going on in this book but it all comes together nicely and I admit, I cried ugly tears at the end.

I'm sad that this is the last book, but hopefully we will see Sophia, Liv and many other characters in Ms Noffke's next series (big hint - she does, YAY!!!)

Dara Rosenberg narratives this series superbly. .
