Fallen Star by Karpov Kinrade

4.0

I look at each of us. A druid, a vampire, an ancient Fae, and a Shade. All of us equals, all of us comrades. And for a moment, I cannot believe that the goal I set out to achieve so many years ago, of peace between our races, has finally been accomplished. --Asher, Prince of Pride

I have loved this world and all of these characters for such a long time, that it is sad to say goodbye. This novel serves as a bridge to bring together and connect so many of our beloved KK characters from various worlds: we have all of our original VG members in Ari, Asher, Dean, FEN, Kayla, Tavian, along with our second generation in Iris, Elias, Arias, and now Alex, and even Sky and Kaden of Nirandel. I think KK did a fantastic job of intertwining all of these characters and worlds seamlessly, and it was wonderful seeing the different generations interact with one another while still maintaining the fantasy-adventure and humor elements that are so intrinsic to their novels. I loved being able to see a different and more archaeological side to Dr. Vane (ha!) and watching him finally get his HEA! He is probably most deserving of happiness--along with Asher--and I love that he's found his girl at last.

Overall, this novel was a great coming together story to bring about closure. It was ultimately about family and love and acceptance and being surrounded by those who care about you. I really enjoyed the extended epilogues and seeing everyone one last time. I hope KK decides to visit these characters and world again one day, but I'm truly satisfied with the ending. Definitely recommend this entire series if you haven't started yet :)
