Summary
Keep your friends close， and your enemis 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。

This has to be one my favorites of her more recent releases。 I really like that seems that she has returned to the series' root a bit for this release。 We get to interact with Sanabalis *ahem* I mean the Arkon。 WE have Tara and Tiamaris。 There's others but I don't want to give the whole book away。 Kaylin continues to show her slow but steady growth although she does still struggle with wanting to a problem solver/fixer for her adopted family's problems without any care for her own wellbeing。 Poo This has to be one my favorites of her more recent releases。 I really like that seems that she has returned to the series' root a bit for this release。 We get to interact with Sanabalis *ahem* I mean the Arkon。 WE have Tara and Tiamaris。 There's others but I don't want to give the whole book away。 Kaylin continues to show her slow but steady growth although she does still struggle with wanting to a problem solver/fixer for her adopted family's problems without any care for her own wellbeing。 Poor girl is still a little slow on the uptake when it comes to burgeoning romances around her but we love her anyway。 I like how Nightshade seems to be learning better ways to relate to Kaylin。 The Barrani are slow to change until Kaylin gets ahold of them 😉 I wonder if he's wanted to change but wants the convenient excuse of Chosen-related exposure for the personality adjustment。 I still love him and ship him with our girl。The dragon court cracks me up。 I swear they're a bunch of ancient dudes who are utterly clueless about females。 Specifically， dragon females。 In particular， Bellusdeo。 They rely on Kaylin to interpret her foreign female ways and seem to hide behind Kaylin because Bellusdeo is less likely to hurt her than them。 Poor males。Overall， I loved it and hate that I have to wait for the next one。Quote from the book: --“I’ve called you Sanabalis—Lord Sanabalis—for the entire time I’ve known you。 I’m sorry。 I’ll get it right。”Sanabalis’s eyes were orange， but his smile was genuine。 “As you were， Private。”“I’m a corporal！”“You’ve been a private for the entire time I’ve known you。”Point to the Dragon。--Cast in Conflict by Michelle Sagara 。。。more

I have been reading this series for over a decade， and I still enjoy it as much now as I did when I started。 This is a slow burn fantasy series with a focus on worldbuilding， but enough character growth and interaction to keep me interested （I'm a relationship reader， not necessarily a world-building reader）。Cast in Conflict took a big step forward in terms of plot， and it kept me hooked。 As soon as I finished it I was sad that it was over and wanted to keep going。 I recommend this series to fan I have been reading this series for over a decade， and I still enjoy it as much now as I did when I started。 This is a slow burn fantasy series with a focus on worldbuilding， but enough character growth and interaction to keep me interested （I'm a relationship reader， not necessarily a world-building reader）。Cast in Conflict took a big step forward in terms of plot， and it kept me hooked。 As soon as I finished it I was sad that it was over and wanted to keep going。 I recommend this series to fans of wordy fantasy like Tolkien， but particularly for a reader who prefers a gentler， less blood and gore filled battle world。 Here the focus is on magic， cultures， friendships， and the power of words， not who's the better fighter; there are action scenes， but they're more introspective。 Start at the beginning with Book 1; this is not a series where you can jump in at the middle and expect to understand what's going on。 。。。more

Kaylin is back and she takes on yet another death defying mission。 Into the heart of Ravellon， she finds something completely unexpected。 This latest book in the series is yet another epic quest with danger and heartbreak。 Just how much has been lost with the battle with the Shadow？ What is it that causes Shadow？ I'm still in the dark about it （no pun intended）。 To read the rest of my review， click on the image below to see it on my website。 Kaylin is back and she takes on yet another death defying mission。 Into the heart of Ravellon， she finds something completely unexpected。 This latest book in the series is yet another epic quest with danger and heartbreak。 Just how much has been lost with the battle with the Shadow？ What is it that causes Shadow？ I'm still in the dark about it （no pun intended）。 To read the rest of my review， click on the image below to see it on my website。 。。。more
