Sea Dragons Trilogy #3
Drachen und die Prophezeiung (SeeDrachen 3)
Eine Heldin aus bescheidenen Anfängen wird im Feuer geschmiedet.
Lila, die gezwungen ist, sich mit ihrer restlichen Truppe von Piraten und ihren Drachen vor der Armee der Toten zurückziehen, beginnt daran zu verzweifeln, dass ihr Volk je etwas anderes sein wird als ein zusammengewürfelter Haufen. Selbst mit der Meereskrone von Roskilde kann sie die Piraten nicht einen - es scheint, dass sie nicht diejenige ist, die Danus geliebte Prophezeiung Wirklichkeit werden lassen soll.
Aber Danu gibt noch nicht auf. Obwohl er vermutet, dass der böse Havick ein altes Buch besitzt, das ihm erlauben wird, Macht auszuüben, könnten sie unerwartet Hilfe bekommen: von den Drachenreitern von Torvald. Diese tapferen Krieger könnten ihre letzte Chance sein, um das Übel von Lars und Havick zu besiegen. Aber sie sind auch die geschworenen Feinde der Piraten. Jetzt haben Lila, Danu, Crux und ihre Freunde keine andere Wahl, als eine gefährliche Reise in feindliches Gebiet zu machen und Verbündete gegen die Finsternis zu suchen, die droht, sie alle zu verschlingen. Um ihre Freunde zu retten, muss Lila ihrem Schicksal folgen und sich in eine legendäre Anführerin verwandeln.

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher. Thank you!
This novel was a good conclusion to the series. I liked how the author included Saffron and Bower in the novel, joining Lila and Danu on their journey to stop the army of the dead. However, they must overcome various trials to save the islands and the other kingdoms. Lila has a fear of using the sea crown, after seeing what it did to her uncle. Danu needs to get control over his magic before it destroys him. Crux is impacted by the use of Danu's magic and needs healing. Lila is concerned about the prophecy and does not think she can unite the Raiders. Lila and Danu try to stop the army of the dead, along with the witch, Ohotto, and the Darkening that is spreading throughout. However, they realize they need help from Saffron and Bower. The rulers of Torvald agree to help Lila and Danu, knowing from their own previous battles with magic. The dragons also come to assist them, angry at the evil witches who stole their young and artifacts to use for their magic. When they realize the Havick has joined Lars, the Captain of the dead, they need to use a book of evil magic to stop them or kill Havick. Lila needs to become a leader in order to save those she cares about or else the Darkening will spread and the dead will destroy everything.

Ich habe die Hörbuchversion gehört.
Im letzten Band um die Seedrachen, Lila und Danu, müssen die Piraten, aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben, nach Torvald fliehen - aber können sie dort auf Unterstützung gegen die Dunkelheit hoffen?
Die Geschichte ist weiterhin abwechselnd aus der Sicht von Lila und Danu geschrieben, sodass man eigentlich immer gut nachvollziehen kann, warum sich die beiden verhalten wie sie sich verhalten. Gefühlt ist der Fokus hier aber wieder mehr auf Lila, das ist etwas schade.
Die Sprecherin hat in diesem Band leider wieder (gefühlt) etwas mehr Drachengeräusche gemacht, was mich schon im ersten Teil sehr gestört hat. Ansonsten waren die Übersetzung und auch die Aussprache an einigen Stellen wieder etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber so schlimm fand ich das nicht.
Insgesamt war mir ein bisschen zu wenig nachvollziehbarer Konflikt in der Geschichte. Es ging sehr lange und ausführlich um die Frage, ob Lila und die anderen Hilfe bekommen oder nicht, weil sie ja Piraten sind - wobei ich das eh die ganze Trilogie über schon komisch fand, denn sie sind zwar Piraten, aber keiner sieht da wirklich was schlechtes drin.
Ich fand es besonders toll, dass Torvald hier auch wieder vorkommt, und man noch ein bisschen mehr darüber erfährt, wie es mit Saffron und Bower weitergegangen ist.
Insgesamt ein guter Abschluss für die Trilogie, aber leider fand ich ihn nicht überragend.

This was book 3 and it didn't disappoint. A lot going on in this one. The author creates such great characters in her stories.
Lila is having a difficult time trying to get her people to unite as Dragon Riders. Too many of them are set in their ways. After the death of her father, most don't see her as a ruler. On top of that she has an army of undead to defeat. Theyseem to be multiplying a,d getting stronger. Crux had also been injured during various battles with them and Danu has been struggling with his magic. He had become dangerous at times. Lila had managed to get the crown of Roskilde but it didn't seem to be helping. They also believed that Enrick had managed to get an ancient book that will grant him unspeakable evil powers. They have no choice now. They have to go to Torvalid and seek help from their dragon riders. With her home burned to the ground as well as many of the surrounding islands she knew she would have to stop Enrick no matter what.
Such a great series.

This is the third book in the sea dragons series. You would find reading the previous books in the series helpful with the characters. The army of the dead seems unstoppable. Lila and Danu must connect there magic with the Dragons to stop her Uncle Havick. Can the book of Enlil from Torvald be the key. This is a good series for people who like to see dragons and humans join and sail the airs of their world. I was given an ARC of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

It'sTrue
Ava and her genius come through . In here you see the the story come to its ending .Dani ,Lila, and Crud find their destiny . Though she loses most of her family , she completes her task offering the islands,and ending the Darkening. A entirely new chapter has begun for them, but without a queen.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange of honest review!
This is the last book from the trilogy. I really struggled with this one and took me a while to finish it.
Th story is not bad just took too long to develope.
I found the first and second book better.

A fast interesting read. I probably won't go back and read any series already published, but I am interesting in seeing this author grow and will most likely be reading more from this author in the future.

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Although I missed the second in the trilogy it certainly did not spoil my enjoyment of the book.
The characters were engaging and the story just rolled along.
This is one author who never lets me down.

Dragon Prophecy
The third book in the trilogy is a wonderful ending to the series. Lila and Danu meet some of the characters from the prior series who help them fight the army of the dead and save the Western Archipelago. Peace ensues.

Great book, great ending
Very action intensive! This is a real can't put down page turner. Lila grew a lot and Danu also became more grounded in his magic. Epic battles.

Dragon Prophecy
This finish was good. I learned more of what dragons can do with magic. That Danu learned to control his mage power. Trust the light and Dragons

wonderful read
This was a very good ending, as always I wish it would’ve been longer but I know it just can’t go on and on and on. Or can it? Haha! Intense until the end!

Excellent characters and a story line that was hard to put down.

wie nicht anders gewohnt von Ava Richardson haben wir auch bei dieser Trilogie eine geniale Story rund um Drachen Magier und Hexen, die fesselnd und spannend geschrieben ist. Durch die kurzen Kapitel und Wechsel der Perspektiven kann der Leser so richtig gut in die Geschichte abtauchen, mit fiebern, und mit hoffen. Die Entwicklung der beiden Protas Lila und Danu kann man hier sehr schön mitverfolgen.

Tolle Trilogie, in der man die Entwicklung der Charaktere mitfühlen kann 👍 sehr schön und spannend, nur leider mal wieder viel zu schnell zu Ende.. ich freue mich auf weitere Bücher der Autorin :)
