Kiora is in the fight of her life, she will have to use all the power that she possesses in order to fight the darkness that threatens to swallow Meros. She will have to learn that this is war and that in war bad things happen and people die. Sacrifices will be made, lives will be lost, as all hope of freedom is put on the shoulders of the Solus.In Wings of Lomay we follow Kiora, Emane and Alcander as they make preparations for their final stand. As the Solus leadership sort of falls on Kiora's shoulders as everyone looks to her for guidance. This is not a role that Kiora is particularly comfortable playing, but she has grown tremendously since first learning of her destiny. She was once afraid of her own powers, her own strength, but now she is a force to be reckoned with. She is strong, confidant and a natural leader. She falls into her role as the Solus with trepidation, but flourishes under the guidance of her allies.Every character in this series has grown tremendously since Wings of Arian. Each character has come into their own in this series, accepting the role they play in the quest to rid Meros of it's darkness. This is especially true of Prince Emane. When Prince Emane first graces the pages of the series he is cocky, arrogant, timid, fearful, and not ready for his role in the future. But as time passes Emane grows, matures, and by the end of Wings of Lomay Prince Emane is selfless, fierce, cocky, loyal, thoughtful, and deep. Of all the characters in this series, Emane is by far my favorite. I think Emane the witow, was stronger than any of the characters with magic, to me he is the true hero of this story. He is the underdog. The person that is always there to help the hero through their quest. He is the strength and heart of this tale. Oh sure, the story is about Kiora, but the hero of Lord of the Rings was supposed to be Frodo when we all know that Sam was the real hero. Well Emane is Sam, Kiora is Frodo. Without Emane Kiora would have failed a long time ago. It is because of his strength that she was able to make a final stand in Wings of Lomay. And in a world full of magic, he stood tall, proud and fearless.I guess there is no secret where my loyalties lie! For me it has always been about Emane. Not Alcander, the powerful, beautiful Tavean. Oh I like him too, he's just not Emane.I have mad love for this series, I have been in love with it since the beginning and it saddened, terrified and excited me to finally get my hands on Wings of Lomay. I have known where this story was going since book 2, Wings of Tavea. I saw the writing on the wall, I saw the clues that Devri Walls left on the pages, the crumbs that I knew would eventually mean the end of my heart. This entire series we have been building up to this huge battle, where the Solus was going to either succeed or fail. And in Wings of Lomay we finally get it. We finally get to see what all this struggle was about. What it was all for. We finally get closure.Wings of Lomay was a wonderful ending to an incredible journey. All the story lines were tied in neat little bows. But it was gut wrenching and it brought me to my knees in pain and anguish. Devri Walls completely shattered my heart and put a hole in my soul with her perfect telling of Wings of Lomay.  Nothing prepared me for what I found in the pages. Nothing. But I take my hat off to Devri Walls and applaud her ability to turn my sorrow and pain into something beautiful, something worth it, she made it shine brighter than the stars.Wings of Lomay is what a series ending should be like, powerful, raw, emotional, and satisfying. This was my favorite book of the series, it will leave you breathless, somber, blissful and a total hot mess. Even now, looking back over the story I cry. Devri Walls and Wings of Lomay broke me and you totally need to read it!*Received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
