This review was originally posted on my site.I found out that this was suppose to be the final book in the series. So the extension that was book 4, 5, 6, and 7 were intentionally written to...? It all makes sense now. This book is neither thrilling nor final.Half-way through Fire Star was where Mr. d'Lacey started to lose me. I love the beginning. What with the Polar bears and everything. About midway in, the author got too environmentalist for me. I felt like I was reading a report on globalChris d'Lacey is an amazing author! In just over a year I have read 25 books by him. To be honest I started this series and then set it aside to read a bunch of his other works, before returning to it, because of how many books were remaining. The Last Dragon Chronicles is an excellent series and this in a wonderful read. This book ramps up the action from the earlier books. This book continues from the earlier books. At the beginning David and Zanna are in the Artic on a research project. David
In all honesty, these are books that are fun at the time of reading them but as you get older they quickly lose their allure. Ive always enjoyed dragons books and because of that I think it took me longer to realise it is a rather repetitive read. Not that such a thing really matters all that much with childrens books, so long as the child is engaged with the story, but as I worked my way through the series they seemed to lose their fun somewhat because of this. By the time I reached the fourth
I liked this series, it was okay, but I didn't really feel inclined to read the next books.
I simply cannot stop reading (or shall I say devouring) this series. I'm 34 years old and I'm allowing my imagination to run wild with The Last Dragon Chronicles.
I feel like there are too many plots going on at the same time so everything stops making sense.
The problem with this book is that it meanders so far from the plot of the previous two it entirely destroys the series. The plot that was once well established has been thrown out the window and new concepts and characters create gaping plot holes. Most of the characters are far from likable, and then...the protagonist dies. and there are more books. This is sad.
