The Peace of Minds continues Robert Jones’s fantasy saga, following multiple storylines across Franconia. It blends the experiences of sorcerers, mages, dragons, soldiers, and rulers as they face a conflict that has changed every part of their world. Scenes of warmth and humor balance moments of danger. Rachel teasing Donovan about overusing magic, Edward fussing over a dusty office, or Anne’s surprise at being shot while arriving as a messenger all bring a grounded human quality to the novel. Jones excels at showing how relationships guide his characters' actions, whether in battle, leadership, or in families. Even the dragons’ conversations at their coastal colony reflect affection, worry, and hope for their young.

Robert Jones constructs a world where magic is inspiring and burdensome. Each spell has significance, and actions have consequences that extend far beyond a single battlefield. Donovan’s bold choices, Andrew’s evolving role in the Navy, Edward and Kathy’s new responsibilities in Kingston, and the dragons’ strategic adjustments all add to a rich tapestry of intrigue. The alternating viewpoints allow readers to experience the war from every angle: human, draconic, political, and domestic. This structure gives the story a broad scope, as ordinary citizens, apprentices, sailors, and monarchs all become part of the same conflict. The Peace of Minds combines magic, strategy, humor, and heartfelt connections. Fans of this world will appreciate how Jones advances the story while leaving space for future developments. Readers of David Eddings and Brandon Sanderson will notice how closely Jones writes like them, with clear storytelling, a cast of characters, spell mechanics, and a mix of danger and humor that echoes Eddings, while Jones's organized magic system and multi-layered worldbuilding resemble early Sanderson.
