Barron T.A Atlantis Lost, 207 pages, Philomel. $18.00. Content: G.

The magical isle of Atlantis is in danger. Not only has Narkazan returned from the spirit realm, there is a beast attacking the City of Great Powers. There is little hope for the future of this magical Island. Narkazan’s War of Glory has all but defeated the resistance and the starstone nearly lost, but through the magic of Promi and his friends, they defeat him, only to learn that Atlanta is dying.To defeat the beast and save her become one and the same in a race against the clock and a fight against what seems hopeless. Is Promi up for the challenge?

T.A. Barron has finalized his Atlantis Rising series with a bang. The story is filled to the brim with action and adventure. The tale continues with the reader until the very end, catching them at every twist and turn and holding their attention down to the last page. I give this book five stars but wish I could give it more!

Habe ich nur gelesen, um die Reihe zu beenden. Schon der zweite Band war ein fader Nachgeschmack nach einem (trotz typischer Barron-Tropen) gelungenen ersten. Oberflächliche Charaktere, keine Details, hastig zuende geführte Storylines, flache Metaphern - und vor allem Barrons Faible für gaaaanz schlimme ekelhafte Monster seit dem zweiten Band der Drachen-Trilogie. Überhaupt hat die Atlantis-Trilogie dasselbe Schicksal erfahren wie die letztgenannte: Ein toller Auftaktband wurde von zwei actionheischenden, oberflächlichen und an Vorhersehbarkeit nicht mehr zu übertreffenden Bänden verhunzt.
Ein halber Stern für einige wenige schöne Momente (Atlantas & Promis letzte Szene; Platons Aufbruch; die Einhornszene im Wald (ich muss es gestehen, die hat mich ergriffen)).
Ein halber Stern für die Metapher auf die Industrialisierung/den Kapitalismus als ewig wachsendes gefräßiges Monster (trotz Ästhetik-Fail).
Ein Stern allein für Shangri, die einen besseren Roman verdient hätte.

Und dass Barron neben Platons Origin Story (naja, halbwegs erträglich) auch noch die des letzten Einhorns verbrochen hat, vergesse ich lieber schnell wieder.

As an adult reader, I found this book very enjoyable. I couldn't put it down. It pulled you in from page 1. The many pages of action made you fly through the book and the ending was completely unexpected. Obviously, you want to read the first two books in the series to better understand the characters and plotline (I recommend those too). My favorite character was Promi and how he dealt with all the problems that were thrown at him. The only character I didn't like was the little blue monkey guy. His dialogue was a bit repetitive.

Featuring the battle between good and evil and offering an explanation for the disappearance of the island of Atlantis, the last volume of Barron’s trilogy is exciting and action packed. As with many of Barron’s books, this is a great introduction to or addition to mythical sagas and the literature surrounding them. It is riveting and worth the read.

Out of the whole series, this book I had the hardest time keeping my attention to it. Nearing the end I really started to lost interest, but powered through to finish. I think my biggest problem was how slow the characters are to have ideas and act on them. It gets tiring after a while.

Third and final volume in the Atlantis trilogy. It was a very simple reading that concluded the series very adequately.

[Francesca Strada · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was hoping Promi and Atlanta would be safe in the end, if not in the mortal real, at least together in the spirit realm...

The feels...

I think I liked the book when I read it but I don't remember the story

[Sai · Rating 1 out of 5]

All 3 book are just boring I wouldn't encourage anyone one to read it maybe a 6yr and I didn't quite fancy that promi looked 14 and she was 19 (even tho it wasn't for long) nether did I fancy that Shangri was pregnant cause I'm pretty sure she was like 15 but idk just my guess cause she acted like 10 or younger 5yrs ago....I don't regret reading it ig >,> but I do regret buying it....P.S no offense to anyone one who likes it :^

As an ending to a story in which we already know the ending, this book still had a few surprises up its sleeves (which I won't spoil). I did feel at times like the writer was repeating himself, or trying to remind me of something I already knew, which got a little tiring. Definitely a different take on Atlantis - a very short-lived island with greed and evil spirit corruption as the downfall. Still, it was imaginative and the relationships between lots of different characters were endearing. An easy short read for a different take on Atlantis.

[Trace Hodges]

This is a story of the plan and battle of the island atlantis. It refers to the execution of the raid of the islands of the greek gods and godesses. Atlantis connected the mortal world and the immortal world together. This is a story of how that was destroyed, and how the gods and mortals grieved over their beloved island.

[Kathrine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an amazing conclusion to a marvelous saga!
I definitley shed some tears just now when reading the last parts of the book, and it is a very bitter-sweet ending.

Loved it so so so much.
