I just finished reading the last book in the what I lovingly call the "dragon books". I got this for my birthday and it was my goal to finish this 840 page book before our little boy made his debut. I was introduced to the series by my brother, it's a young adult book which is a genre I enjoy reading, typically because they are easy to read and are clean. This book, while clean, is quite gory. I feel like this final book in the series is so much more graphic than the other three.
I can't say I'd recommend this series to others. The first book was very difficult to get into for me, but the second book had an overview of what had happened in the first book which I found very helpful and the story seemed to be more interesting in books 2 and 3. Book 4 though took so long to come out that I was a bit lost again even with the overview of the previous books at the beginning.
That said, it felt good to finish and put to rest the characters whose stories were so unresolved in the 3rd book. I'm also glad I read it so I know what age it would be appropriate for our son to read...which might be never, we'll see :)

my favorite thing about this series is that is was written by a 15 year old homeschooled boy. I can forgive a lot in his writing because I find it so adorable and impressive that he wrote the first one when he was 15.
