This was the best in the series so far - at least for me. There is an obvious twist that I expected and I was pleasantly surprised that the book went in a different direction. Admittedly that twist is still on the table, but I am left guessing whether or not it will come. Bravo.

I do really hope that book 10 is the last book, I am not a fan of endless series. My 5 year old is still invested, but less so each book.

Last week’s readaloud was the 9th book in The Last Firehawk series. Blaze was finally reunited with her family and learned that her mother is the queen of the firehawks and that she is next in line for the throne. Everyone is thrilled to learn about Blaze’s future but our friends quickly realize that Blaze won’t be able to return to Perodia with them. Soon Skyla and Tag realize they lost the magical objects they needed to get back to Perodia, Blaze and the firehawks vow to help them return home.

(Funny thing about the image associated with this book on Goodreads: the artwork is accurate but the title of the book says “Silver Swamp,” which was the last book in the series! I think they just forgot to change the text before this image was uploaded.)

My 7 year old son loves this series - he likes that there is adventure and good and evil forces at play, as well as friendship and bravery. We flew through the first 9 books and are looking forward to reading the 10th when available!!!

My 7 year old is a big fan of this series. He likes that they’re exciting but not too scary. He also loves that there are great illustrations too.

I can tell I am done with this series, personally, but I think my son will be into it ‘till the final moment of the last book I purchased. That will make it worth it. It was a nice series for kids.
