Children of Zion

Dragons Among Us #3

by Ted Dekker, Rachelle Dekker

In the epic showdown, Noah’s people, the children of Zion, find themselves trapped between two warring tribes of dragon worshipers, both set on the destruction of the city of light, Zion. Although still only a boy, the fate of his family and his people rests firmly on Noah’s shoulders. He must step out of his father’s shadows and overcome the darkness by slaying the king of dragons as the tribes plunge into battle. But slaying the dragon king requires Noah to be in the light, and that light seems nowhere to be found.

These books are good, like interesting and fairly well written. They are children’s books so set expectations accordingly.

My biggest issue with these though is the allegorical nature of them makes some theological implications that are not biblical. Sometimes I thought I was getting it but other times I just became very confused.

All of the “gospel”presentations fail to call for repentance and claim that we are enough for Christ and always have been- which then erases the need for a savior. And maybe I’ve just misinterpreted it but that’s what I was taking away from these books. So overall 😬

My favorite in the second trilogy, I may have even choked up a little at the end. It was a fun adventure series, with a very important message on how God's love defeats the darkness.

I enjoyed this read. The series got better as it went on. Great story for 9+ kiddos too. My daughter enjoyed it!

Woof… this series started out so cool for 7-year old Teddy and me, but then by book 6, it was a slog to the end. Didn’t end as well as the first book, but we finished the series!

“For the light!”

Book three of The Dragons Among Us picks up right where Daughter of the Alchemist ended. Noah is heading back to Zion to tell his father everything that happened on his Passage. So much more happened than what Noah expected. A battle set and a showdown that will change the world forever.

Ted and Rachelle Dekker wrap up this series beautifully. The story pulls you closer to Noah, Persia and Torin. It draws you closer but you can also feel the tension. There were moments of true inspiration, the speeches that Noah and his father give before the battle, is that of an epic blockbuster. It even had me in tears at one point. The characters reactions were realistic even in the dark times. The last quarter of the book flow by and left me with my head held high.

A sure telling of what real, true love can do.

This series is a very quick read. It’s definitely written for children, in that the language is nothing fancy and it’s not particularly well-written. My kids really enjoyed the whole series. This last one is pretty violent and graphic, but it makes its point. Overall enjoyed, but probably won’t read again.

I thought that was good. I hope Ted and his daughter decide to write another trilogy in this universe. I enjoy them. A Torin standalone story would be pretty sweet too he’s probably my favorite character.

Leí este libro con mis hijos, me encantó la forma en que presentan está historia y el mensaje que lleva de elegir amor sobre miedo.

[Audie King · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't think I've ever said this, but I almost think this sequel series was better than the first series! A lot more action! Other than a few editorial errors, it was a good read!

[Jessica Higgins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finish up to the whole series that is good for young readers and classic Ted Dekker.

I like how it does a downfall and then he meets some wise guy and he feels confident again. this trilogy is like the other one: and they found dragons. they have the same concept.
