Cast in Conflict

By: Michelle Sagara

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER

A Dragon and ten Barrani wouldn’t be anyone’s ideal roommates if a person wants peace and tranquility at home. The residue of three Draco-Barrani wars can make things pretty awkward—on a good day. Kaylin Neya has run out of good days.

In the upheaval surrounding the Academia, the Tower in the fief of Candallar is now without its lord. The Towers were created to protect Elantra against Shadow. Dragon Bellusdeo wants to captain the Tower and continue a war she’ll never be able to abandon. But Sedarias, leader of the Barrani cohort, wants the Tower for the cohort. And Barrani and Dragons don’t negotiate, even when they’re living under the same roof.

If there were ever a time for Shadow to strike, it’s now, when alliances are fractured and the Tower is vulnerable for the first time in centuries. More than ever, Kaylin needs her friends to work together if they’re going to be able to stop the threat to Elantra.

Great addition to the series!

Fans of the Elantra series will love this new edition. Sagara never disappoints her readers.

Another Epically Satisfying Romp in Elantra!

This novel had the perfect balance of cozy feels, emotional introspections and the high octane stakes of earlier installments in the series. I adore the luxurious character growth in a majority of the cast. Fans of the warrior queen dragon, Bellusdeo,will not be disappointed. Her story arc continues to evolve and impress.I love that this series slow burns the conflict and understanding of the main adversary and main characters alike.Unlike other Fantasy series, the nebulous Shadows of Ravelon cast a nuanced feeling of otherness. They aren’t whole cloth evils. This makes the losses of a prior golden age seem actually tragic and not just background horror. This is easily one of my favorite installments in a beloved series.

The story continues

I have been reading this series from the beginning and have only one complaint. To long between books.

Loved them all

Started with book one and listened through Conflict. As the credits are spoke, I think to myself, I’m going to do this again in a few years. Maybe upon second and third listens I will be able to grasp more of the complex Wordverse and not want to punch a dragon or two. There are so many potential storylines from here. I hope my positives intentions to write faster reach Sagara and her keyboard with profound results.

Poor Story no progress really

16 books in and still Kaylin is the most obtuse person ever. she does not learn, she does not listen and clearly makes little to no effort in either case.. The girl seriously needs to learn to just shut the hell up and do as she's told once in awhile. 16 books in and she has yet to learn anything or attempt to learn anything about being Chosen or how to actually use her marks. We are yet again also subjected to a book in which a good half is tied up with Kaylins feelings, her self doubts and how how everyone thinks she's dumb (which she is).

We still no nothing about Hope aside from the scraps that we are given. You'd think by now we could get some details on him but nope.

I'd give this book 2.5 stars but that's not allowed so ill go 3
