Review: 

Graevale is the fourth instalment in Lynette Noni’s tantalising Medorian Chronicles and is another thrilling adventure packed tale full of excitement, action and powerful moments of friendship.

After the life altering events of the last novel, Aven Dalmarta now sits on the Meyian throne and Alexandra Jennings is racing against the clock to find a way to save the rest of Medora from the rebel prince’s grasp. Hoping to convince the various Medorian races to join together in the fight against Aven, Alex journeys to speak to the different leaders. Each encounter fairs worse than the previous with Alex and those closest to her running out of options to stop cruel prince. Training with a mysterious new teacher, Alex fights to hone her gifts, but as Aven’s threat continues to loom closer with every day that passes, Alex will need to prepare for the unexpected if she hopes to stop him…..

Oh, my heart. My poor broken heart….what an emotionally packed story! Lynette Noni is back with another addictive and perfectly written novel; telling the fourth vivid instalment in her Medorian Chronicles with all the magic, action and excitement I’ve come to expect from her….and a lot of heartache too with the final few chapters seeing our beloved characters put through the wringer.

Alex Jennings has returned from the past with a new outlook on how Aven came to be the way he is, but nothing she has learnt will make defeating him any easier. Determined to stop him before he takes complete control of Medora or destroys it in the process, Alex is searching tooth and nail for a way to stop him. Alongside her friends Jordan, Bear and D.C, Alex has the help of various Medorian’s including her Akarnae professors and her Meyian friends Niyx, Zain and Kyia.

I really do adore Alex as a protagonist and enjoy following her throughout the story. Alex has come a long way since she first stepped through a door into Medora. She’s grown in confidence and capability, but is still the kind hearted, determined and lovable character she has always been. I love how she never gives up and continues to fight even when things get hard. She deserves to be up there with the great fantasy protagonists of our time!

Personally I think Lynette Noni has created something really spectacular with this series. It’s fully realised and becomes larger and more full of life with every instalment. The characters are likable and easy to follow and connect perfectly together. Aspects of friendship, romance and discovery are woven into the story and every chapter brings a new development or alteration to the storyline that pushes things forward.

Magically addictive, Graevale is another sensational novel in the Medorian Chronicles and with the next novel set to be the finale, I cannot wait to see what Lynette Noni has instore for the last novel in this incredible YA fantasy series!
