Shadow of Honor: Volume 3

This is not a typical series that I would read but I love Ronie's books and her characters. Wow! is the best way I can describe this book, it's the third book in the Droseran Saga. I love the characters, most of the time they seem stretched to their limits but then they push through and come out stronger. There are plot twists that I didn't see coming. I'm glad Ronie chose to write a fourth book because I honestly don't know how she could have ended the series with just three books. There is so much packed into this one and the end is not in sight. If you love shows like Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica then enjoy this series.

"Deprive us of our ability to choose, and while you may not see violence for a time, you will also not see courage or heroism - which, if you search your hearts, may be what you truly seek once again from men. Give us that chance." I am overwhelmed. Undone. Completely and utterly captivated. This third book in The Droseran Saga has latched onto my heart and soul. I thought the first two books in the series were exceptional... and this book has somehow surpassed the others. Every chapter is an adventure with surprises, unexpected revelations, and plot twists. Every page has adrenaline and fast-paced action flowing through it, as well as gut-wrenching heartache and struggle. It's one of my favorite reads of 2022; you definitely need to read this series! It amazes me how the author has three separate subplots running through the book and deftly weaves them seamlessly into the overarching theme. Marco's journey with Eija and Reef in a different galaxy is fraught with danger and enlightenment. Isaura's journey with Kersei and Darius on Drosero is steeped in political intrigue and redemption. Tigo's journey with Jez is the most surprising of all and I really enjoyed getting to know Tigo better. Though there are multiple narrators in the book, the plot flows smoothly without confusion. I am impatiently waiting for the last installment in the series. I've become the biggest fan of Ronie Kendig's space opera!
