3.0 out of 5 starsLimping Towards The End
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2022
To some extent the Mother/Son duo of Jadora & Jak are responsible for
the loss of thousands of lives and the near destruction of their world.
In particular, Jadora would never have dropped her first love, herbology,
to become an archeologist if her son Jak had not been determined to
continue his late father's quest for the World Gate. Sure you can blame
King Uthari, who is in fact a complete SOB, but they set the ball rolling,
and look at the state of things now!

Instead of contacting the fondly remembered Elder Dragons, and finding an
ally for normal humans against the oppressive mages, the World Gate has
unleashed the Younger Dragons on Torvil, and they are raining destruction
on human and mage alike. If that is not enough, Uthari has taken actions
that prevent a coordinated response against the dragons, released a
parasite of unknown deadliness on the world as well, and ordered Jak's death.
All of the power gifted to Jadora by the one surviving Elder Dragon is
not enough to deal with any part of the situation, and in the end the only
hope may be yet another fraught expedition through the World Gate as Torvil
crumbles..

I'm afraid this series continues to be a bit of a mess with too
many characters, and events unfolding with frustrating slowness.
As I have said before, I appreciate that Buroker is trying to do
something bigger and more involved than her previous series, but
here in the penultimate book of the series it still seems that she
had bitten off somewhat more than she can chew. We do finally get
resolution on some points which have dragged on for far too
long, like the situation of General Tonovan and Malek's unwillingness
to commit, but there continue to be characters with no
clear purpose (still talking about you Tezi!) and some of plot
lacunae. For instance, when King Uthari orders Jak's killing,
Captain Rivlen takes the call, and very much does not wish this to happen
as Jak is now her lover. The clear argument to use with her King
would be: "Well, have you gotten everything you need from his mother
then? Oh, you haven't? Well I guess it wasn't that important after all.
Oh, it's *critically* important? Then maybe you might want to hold
off on killing her only child.." Yet somehow this is not an idea
that occurs to this highly intelligent and composed character.

I've held on this long, so I'll get the final book, but really I can't
recommend you start this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's all coming to a head
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2022

Parts of this book are pretty harrowing.

The infected dragons that came through the portal in the last book are attacking all over the world almost completely unchecked.

While some people recognize that it is time to put their petty squabbling aside and unite to try and save what they can - others see nothing but the opportunity to further their own interests, taking advantage of others' misfortune in some pretty horrendous ways.

But it's not all bleak and hopeless. There are bright and even funny moments to alleviate the gloom, as well as glimpses of hope for the future.

I had a hard time putting this book down and am looking forward to September 30th and the release of the final Dragon Gate book.

Mild spoilers ahead:

Shikari continues to steal the show for me as he grows from a rambunctious kid into more of a teenager - learning to communicate with Jak in actual words.

Tonovan finally gets some of what he's had coming -though I'm vindictive enough to wish he'd gotten to choke down even more helpings of humble pie...

Uthari's obsession to control everyone and everything backfires on him in a way that *might* actually force him to take an honest look at himself and his methods (for Malek's sake, I hope so anyway).

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2022

In this fifth installment of Buroker’s Dragon Gate series, the dragons get a foothold on Torvil.
While I appreciated that the simmering romances finally paid off, I read fantasy for the epic story. There were lots of battles, but humans were on the losing side. No surprise. Even mages can’t take down a dragon without plenty of help.
Four stars because the ending was close to being a cliffhanger. There wasn’t a clear story problem that was resolved in a satisfying way by the end of the book. Worse, everyone is left in a catastrophic place.
If you haven’t started this book, you might wait until closer to the release of the final installment to do so. That way, you can avoid the frustration that comes when a story isn’t resolved satisfactorily.

5.0 out of 5 stars One cuddly dragon and a lot of very bad dragons.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2022

Things are going badly for the world as the dragons launch full on attacks across all the kingdoms. Our heroes have given up on keeping their distance from each other and let's just say there are walls involved for both older and younger couples. Yeah Baby!

Jak keeps working on his plans for revenge against Tonovan, who continues to prove he deserves whatever happens to him. Everyone is making bad decisions and having visions but at least one of those might give us hope.

King Uthari is manipulating and tricking everyone but Malek is finally seeing that for himself, will he stop being the King's loyal dog or not?

The ending gives a feeling of some closure but is an obvious lead in to the final book. I loved it.
