Redeeming The Lost (The Tale of Lanen Kaelar #3)
The prophecies are coming true and the ancient race of the Kantri-or true dragons-have come back to the world of Men. It was through the actions of Young Lanen Kaelar that the Kantri were reminded of the larger world. It was bravery (and a mad belief in the old tales) that caused the young woman to start a perilous journey to find the great dragons of legend. In doing so,...more

Like the previous book in the series, this one was good but held few surprises. You don't read this one to find out what's going to happen; it follows standard tropes and character arcs to the T. So the enjoyment is realized from reading how all these things come to pass.
Fortunately Kerner writes well and is particularly good at creating and maintaining believable character interaction. All of the relationships in the story make sense and people behave true to their characters, with no one sudd...more

It was a little strange picking up this book after perhaps two years. I read the first when I was in high school (soon after it came out), then finally read the second just a couple of years ago.
It was a little difficult to get into at first, I think probably due to the fact that it really seems that book 2 and 3 were meant to be one long novel instead of two separate ones. It took a while to get back into the swing of things. I would definitely recommend to anyone who may be thinking of reading...more

I wonder if I might have enjoyed this more, had it not been years since I finished the second book in the set. I came back to it remembering the ending of the second book, and how annoyed I'd been that it was a cliffhanger. I remembered there were dragons and magic. That was about it.
It was good, and I thought her first few chapters caught me up beautifully on the events of the first two books in the series. I wasn't entirely sure what was going on with Vilkas, but even he didn't seem to know so...more

For some reason, I liked Redeeming the Lost a lot more than the first two. There was a lot more action in this one, and I got into it more. The ending was brilliant. I would have been so mad if it hadn't ended the way it did, but it ended perfect. Three of my sisters have read this series and they all love it. I can't share their enthusiasm. The first two books just didn't catch my attention, then I read this book, and I perked up; in my opinion it was the best of the three, but still, not amazi...more
Good and fun. I know why it took forever to get into book two, it's really like one 600 page book, not two separate books and of course a longer book has a longer set up. :) It was fun and I still like it after finishing it. :) Always a good sign. :)

The final installment of the Lanen Kaelar series. A major battle between good and evil as well as smaller, personal battles that will decide the future of the world.
Conclusion to the series. I think the climax was a bit lame, but the epilogue was interesting even if it still left me with a few questions unanswered.
Oh, this was such a good series! Not too short, not too long, great characters, wonderful world-building, excellent read!
The conclusion to the Tales of Lanen Kaelar series. I hope to see more work by this author.
The best conclusion to a series I've ever read!
Still left a lot of questions hanging.
The ending was a bit contrived, but I enjoyed it.
This was a great conclusion to this series. It took me years to pick up all 3 books and the only thing I regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
I will say I shed a few tears but that is all I'm telling. If you like a good fantasy with love and dragons, you should probably be reading these books.

This trilogy lost steam after the first book, the last one sort of redeemed it, but never captured my interest as much as the first.
Wow! Fast and furious ending, really good storyline, thoroughly enjoyed it! Tearjerker ending though, a bit hard on the heart.
