This entire series has my heart but I was a little disappointed in this final book. It was VERY hard to get into and there were so many different scenes that it was hard to catch up. Once I finally started grasping what was going on with those characters, it would switch to new characters.

I am so glad that it finally has an end but I am also heartbroken that it is over.

The connections to climate change were very prominent in The Dryad Storm. I think Laurie does a really good job of connecting the dots to her fantasy world and the real world.

I was excited to read the conclusion to The Black Witch series! I loved the first two books in the series--The Black Witch and the Iron Flower--and they will forever been in my list of favorites. I didn't love the last two books--The Shadow Wand and The Demon Tide--and I was hoping I would like The Dryad Storm better.

I did like this book better than the last two, and I think it brought a good conclusion to the series. I liked the epilogue and how the main theme of loving all people came through until the end. I do think there were too many perspectives, similar to the last two books--it took 25% of the book to get to one of our main characters. Despite that, I did like the story, though sometimes the magic felt a little unexplained. Overall, I liked the conclusion and liked this volume better than the last two.
