I spent a great week immersed in the Legends Lost Collection, and it was an epic ride, indeed! Tons of action, so if you are a fan of sprawling adventures that are plot-rich pageturners with absorbing action and cinematic in-world excitement, Legends Lost is a wonderful next series.There are wonderful magic elements as part of the tale, from dragons to fairies to powerful necklaces, and that makes for great escape. The characters are diverse, and it's a full roster creating an ambitious and rich world. I really loved the strength of the female characters, and Amborese--the type of brave who would throw down her sword in a forced duel rather than participate in being entertainment for the power- and blood-thirsty, and who can turn a dragon into a mouse -- really had my heart.The writing elevates the story and keeps you reading. It is full of the details and full sensory descriptions that put you in the scene. This is a winning series if you are looking for great fantasy adventure featuring an impressive queen and lots of action.
