4.5/5 stars - figured a 5 would look better for the book's rating than a 4.

Also I'm hungover right now as I've finished so my thoughts are scattered.

Really, really great ending to a great trilogy. Draconis Memoria has cemented itself in my favourites of modern fantasy. The mixture of steampunk/industrial-age technology with 3 (and then 4) interweaved POVs made it even better. I wasn't too pleased with Sirus's addition in book 2 but Empire of Ashes made it pay off.

Fantastic ending, albeit a bit of a rushed ending and a few things that I wasn't 100% clear on (due to the hangover and the speed that I was reading) but I'd definitely reccomend it to everyone!
