If you haven't read the first two books in this series, The Warrior Heir and The Wizard Heir, this is a *spoiler alert* for those two titles.

Jason, Seph's friend from school, is sick of doing nothing and tries to get into Raven's Ghyll by himself. Though he fails to get at D'Orsay or learn anything about the missing Covenant, he escapes with a mysterious stone, the Dragonheart. Madison, the elicitor, seems drawn to the stone in a way that the Weir are not (though they are drawn to it, too), but she is forced to go back home to take care of her siblings. Meanwhile, Seph, Jack, Ellen, and the others in Trinity must guard against the machinations of D'Orsay and the Roses.

Much of the story is told from Madison's point of view, but you're often put in Jason or Seph's head, depending on the setting. It's fast-paced, and even though some of the threads of the plot are laid out early, the climax will keep you on your toes 'til the end. A very satisfying read. ( )

I was satisfied with the conclusion to this series. For those students who enjoyed Warrior Heir and Wizard Heir, I will definitely recommend this title. ( )

Its a satisfactory ending to the series. At times, long winded and dragging. Its not as well written as the first two. I enjoyed the focus on Madison, although I didn't completely understand of her problem early in the book, or why it was just suddenly resolved. The book could have been completely streamlined without this side plot. I also didn't like how a few of the characters had to resort to extra ordinary means to sustain the final war, without the side effects of the means being discussed at the end.

There was a lot of things that happened by coincidence, things just magically turned up. This is a different turn than the first two novels where the characters had to work at the problems. But, its a good ending. The good guys win, the bad guys get whats coming to them, and life goes on. ( )

The last book in the Cinda Williams Chima trilogy about wizards ands warriors and dragons. In this book everone is panicking. Things must be done quick. The wizards are gathering and there isn't enough warriors out there who could help these teens fight them off. How can they fight off the wizards without hurting innocent people. I find this book very enjoyable. quick read to. ( )
