Commentary To Books Elegy for a Lost Star (Symphony of Ages #5)
Elegy for a Lost Star sets the stage for a major turning point in the Symphony of Ages series. The dragon Anwyn--who has lain for three years in deathlike sleep in a grave of rock and black coal is freed by the cataclysm that concluded Requiem for the Sun. Disoriented and confused, she remembers only two things: the person who trapped her in dragon form and locked her in a rocky grave--Rhapsody; and an all-encompassing desire to wreak vengeance. Meanwhile, Achmed, the Firbolg king, resumes rebuilding the his shattered home, while a guild of merciless assassins set about taking revenge on him for the killing of their leader. A horribly deformed but magical being finds its way through a carnival of freaks to the palace of an evil despot, who sees in it the potential to be the instrument by which his plans of conquest and brutal domination of a continent will be realized. With the rise of new leaders, good and evil, the long-awaited birth of the Child of Time, the dark plans of assassins and rulers, a confrontation that shakes the relationship of the Three, and a battle to the death between two dragons of unimaginable elemental power, the seeds of chaos are planted for a war that will, by its end, consume half of the world.

Yet another great addition to the adventures of Rhapsody, Achmed, and Grunthor. This was definitely a middle book as it set the stage for a greater conflict in this series. Exciting things still happened though and I cant wait to see more action and breathtaking fights as things unfold in the next book.I don't have a pleasant review for this one. There's a reason that I never finished it the first time I tried reading it, way way back in 2008, besides the fact that I knew book 7 didn't have a release date (and wouldn't until 2014).I know part of my displeasure with this book was the audiobook narrator, who just really needs to calm down and stop putting too much emphasis on all of his words. It creates this weird feeling of anticipation or building up without conclusion, like a series of
Once again, there was still something missing. Seriously, I felt like I was just hearing about the characters instead of being right there with them, like how the first three books made me feel. Another thing that bothers me, is that they don't have anymore deep, romantic parts. I thought this book was considered romance?
This fifth book in Elizabeth Haydon's Symphony of Ages series is a darned good read, but our heroine Rhapsody is starting to have a few Really Bad Days, and I mean Bad on the scale of Agent Jack Bauer from 24. While I adore Rhapsody, I was slightly annoyed that, more than in the previous volumes, she needed her (male) friends to save her pretty pregnant butt. We'll cut her some slack, though. Not only is she dealing with the worst case of morning sickness ever recorded, but she has pissed off a
It was interesting but way too long. The plot was centered around Rhapsody's pregnancy, which isn't interesting enough to carry a book. Basically this one was setting up the next book, which should be better.
Out of Haydon's Symphony of Ages series, this one was the weakest. I love her world and I love her characters (which is why I will continue to read her works) but I felt that this one was even more soap opera-y than the others.
I've read a lot of reviews on this book and there is a lot of complaints about repetition and reminders from the other books (1-4) of the series. I agree she repeats a lot. When reading in order straight through it is annoying but not overly so.This was not the best of the series so far, but a lot of build up for future books that promises good plots.
