Summary from Goodreads: 

Shourron I wanted nothing more than to find out where he came from. Who was his father? Who ordered the leech? Investigations yielded nothing, and he thought that no one would ever know...

Until now.

Shourron gets the answers to his checkered past, but the knowledge comes at a price: everything he knows about
himself, a world where people had once sought refuge, and the life of someone dear to him.

Those who want answers above all must be careful what they wish for.

What I think: 

My only pet peeves is that the covers art from book 1 to book 4 aren't consistent. Revival's cover illustration seemed to have much more captivating concept then the other 3. I still like the other 3 books covert art, but I wish it the design for the series is more consistent.

Summary from Goodreads:

In a post-war universe, after two centuries of cleaning up after villains, restoring worlds, lives, and hearts, and ending wars and resolving conflicts, three young warriors finally say, "It's time for a break." However, they end up with more than what they bargained for as they resurface again in 21st Century New York City, with their break at a screeching halt as new trouble hits.

As they hit the ground running and fighting, the warriors confront a series of personal concerns that had become difficult to keep out of the work arena. How far will Shourron II go to ensure the job gets done? What made Rena take the original conflict so personally that she would violate the bylaws that she herself had written? Why does Vannara constantly insist that the galaxy's greatest criminal is innocent?

One thing's for sure in their search for those answers: break time's over.

What I think: 

I was actually messaged by the author to do a review on her fourth book in this series so I've decided to do book reviews from the first book to the fourth book just to keep up with the consistency ahahaha =)
