OP: Fandom is Claidi Journals, by the way.

Sorry, I apparently forgot to label it.

My god, a Claidi Journals secret! I thought I was the only person who liked those books—the consensus I've seen around is that they're Lee's weakest, but they were the only books of hers I've ever gotten into. Small nonny shipped the hell out of Claidi/Argul. (He taught her how to ride horses! She asked questions all the time and he thought it was super charming!)

It's been years since I read Wolf Wings and I barely remember what it was about, but I remember being really charmed by all of Claidi's adventures in her flying tower. . . . Is that Wolf Wings? The big reveal that the current class system was created by a corrupted revolution wasn't very interesting or satisfying at all, though, I definitely agree with that. And my memories of the first book are strongest, which is a good indicator that it was the best of the books. So . . . Y A possibly N A, OP?

On the other hand, I found it very satisfying in that it showed how easily something with good intentions could turn to corruption.

Oh, I really liked those books! That being said, I totally agree with you about the last book being disappointing.

I read the series back-to-back, and I remember feeling like everything had just deflated once it hit that last book. I don't really remember the details about why, though... I just remember that I thought that it didn't hold up, especially when to the rest of the series.

Oooh, thanks for reminding me of a book series I had dug as a kid and since forgot! I think I was in the middle of the third one, so it looks like I dodged a bullet there.

I don't think I'll pick up the books again, but being reminded of the fun time I had with them is nice.

I read these and enjoyed them as a kid! I had no trouble finding them all, though, I'm sorry, OP. :(

What always struck on a kind of related note: my high school library had a compilation addition of the first three volumes. I guess it could've been released while the fourth wasn't out yet, but it seemed a little silly not to have a full one.

I remember this series! I had the same problem as you Nonny; I could never tack down the final book! Now I feel a bit better that I never got around to reading it. But it's good to know that other people had enjoyed this series! (Despite being big readers, my friends had no interest in reading these with me.)
