Requiem for the Sun (Symphony of Ages #4)
The three overcame great adversity in defeating the F'dor--an ancient evil being intent on destroying the world--their battle culminating in Destiny, a thundering crescendo of tragedy, love, and triumph of the human spirit over world-shattering cataclysm.
Now comes...
Requiem for the Sun, Sequel to the USA Today bestselling Rhapsody Trilogy
It has been three years since their devastating battle, and peace has settled across their land. But to the south an empire lies ready to crumble. When the Dowager Empress dies, along with her successor, a great war breaks out, threatening to overwhelm the known world.
And an old nemesis of Rhapsody's--presumed dead for centuries--resurfaces, forcing her to choose between facing his depravity or sacrificing her own life . . . and that of her unborn child.
"You cannot wait on destiny: it comes to you, usually when you are least ready for it.""Moment to moment, life is unsure - you can't live in fear of it.""After a lifetime of such soldiering, two kinds of men remain - those that are grateful to have survived the experience, and those that are grateful the experience survives." I didn't go into the 4th book in the the Rhapsody series with high expectations, but I ended up enjoying this tremendously. I don't feel that I can talk about this book
Not my favorite of the series. I thought it was a little long winded and overly descriptive. The ending seemed like it was thrown together quickly. I do love the Rhapsody series and I will read to the end, but this one was not my favorite.
This is fantasy at its best.Dragons, humor, adventure, magic, all the good stuff.Rhapsody, our butt-kicking protagonist, gets to deal with the challenges of fighting off the Stalker From Hell (and I kinda mean that literally) while also fighting off the worst case of morning sickness you've ever heard of.Her nonhuman best buddies, Achmed and Grunthor, are a wonderful snarky mix of Monty Python and Hugh Laurie's Dr. House. We also get the pleasure of becoming better acquainted with Esten, one of
I don't normally review books, but I just had to get a few things off of my chest about this one. I finished it last night & am still a bit angry at it.Overall, I did not care for this book at all, especially after reading it directly after the first three. I came into it off of a "high" from those earlier books, and maybe it was because they were so fresh in my mind that Requiem for the Sun left me angry and frustrated. It felt stiff, padded, and pointless, without hope and without the
One of the things I like about reading Elizabeth Haydon's books is her ability to introduce us to the leading characters.Three years have passed since Achmed, the assassin-king, Grunthor, the lethal Sargent-Major, and Rhapsody, the Lady Cymrian, helped bring peace and prosperity to the land of Roland.We meet the Dowager Empress of Sorbold and her son, both their deaths leaving empty the line of succession. Dark clouds of war threaten the fragile Cymrian Alliance.Rhapsody must face an old
I know it took me a lot longer to read this book than normal, but it has nothing to do with the quality of the story. I've been having vision problems but once my glasses come in I should be back full swing. Now onto the actual review....With every new book (well new to me) I fall more and more in love with this series! I cannot say enough good things about this book or it's author. I absolutely adore the story with everything in me and am glad there are more books to continue with :) highly

It all began with the nationally bestselling Elizabeth Haydon's Rhapsody Trilogy. A fellowship of three had been forged, companions brought together by fate, driven by prophecy: Rhapsody, a Singer of great talent and beauty; Achmed, an assassin with unearthly talents; and Grunthor, a giant of jolly disposition and lethal skill with weapons.The three overcame great adversity in defeating the F'dor--an ancient evil being intent on destroying the world--their battle culminating in Destiny, a thundering crescendo of tragedy, love, and triumph of the human spirit over world-shattering cataclysm.

This took me waaaayyyyy too long to finish. I would have given it less stars except I actually enjoyed the second half of the book, its just slow, so very very slow. I wasnt expecting a lot after the first series, knowing that it would be unlikely to be as good. Definitely felt like a whole lot of filler that wasnt necessary however I enjoy a lot of descriptions so I was OK with this. It was meh 🤷♀ certainly a deathly slow start but otherwise from that there were some excellent bits that left me"You cannot wait on destiny: it comes to you, usually when you are least ready for it.""Moment to moment, life is unsure - you can't live in fear of it.""After a lifetime of such soldiering, two kinds of men remain - those that are grateful to have survived the experience, and those that are grateful the experience survives."
