Finally! I have been waiting for this final book of this series with a real wish to see how this all turns out. And I was not disappointed! Our trio of hero's found their way through one cliffhanging adventure after another, each particular adventure as challenging and exciting as one whole book, it was like a treat of one real drama after another. The human side, with real friendship, suffering and love, complications of being a teenager at the same time of having the responsibility of adults, with the added difficulties of finding that becoming a dragon in fact, able to fly and do battle as a dragon has side effects that threaten the soul and life of each one of them. And then, the whole cast of friends and even enemies join in this both very human and heroic scale drama. But, and really but, if you have not read all the stories that precede this last book, please go back to the very beginning as start our where all stories start, at the beginning. You will be in for a joyous ride that will take you some months of delightful reading.. Enjoy! I should mention that I turned 80 this summer, and have been reading this kind of literature since I was 12 or so, so consider me a valid judge!!!!!
