review 1: I am not sure where to begin. I have truly enjoyed this series since I first found it by chance several years ago. The first book had me intensely hooked, more so after the end revealed a rather pleasant surprise, the hero's were rather well known authors. It continued to hold me, even after several turns which I really didn't agree with but, accepted. My favorite in the end seems to be The Dragon's Apprentice but, each and every one of these books has been well worth the read.Now to this the last book. It is a bittersweet thing, which perhaps is what makes it so hard to review. As with any good book it sometimes can be hard to put it down for the final time. Sure there is always re-reads and re-re-reads and well you get the idea but, to know that this marks the last time ... moreyou will put a book from the series down and know that there will be no others to follow, that this truly marks the end of the character's tale, makes it a hard pill to swallow, and that perhaps is why I have waited so long to read this one. Perhaps, deep in the back of my mind I knew it would be hard to come to that finality. I enjoyed this book, I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. I will not spoil any of the plot points, nor will I spoil the ending. Although, I will say I think I felt myself wanting to cry. The story rounds out the whole tale and ends I would say with not a whimper, not bang, but, perhaps a touch of finesse. I look forward to the many re-reads I will have of this series. And, in the end I will always be grateful I happened to glance that day at the bookshelves by the register and, noticed the first book in this delightful series.
review 2: The LAST book from an amazing series! As promised, every questions are FINALLY answered in this book, and all the secrets have been revealed. I remembered while I was reading the other books, it felt like I was racing against time. My heart was beating so fast and I was at the edge of my seat, reading with excitement BUT for this last book, it was different. I was calmed, and I didn't rush through the stories. I took my time, savour each word and in the end, when I finally read the last page, it felt like I've finally came home. I think am still feeling daze and I definitely will re-read this book again just to get a clearer grip on the stories.Like I said, you'll find all the answers to the riddles, puzzles and questions scattered throughout the 6 books. Some of the revelation won't come as a surprise as you'll see it coming, but others... will leave you thunderstruck. You'll finally know who the old man is that kept on helping Rose, you'll know the identity of Grimalkin, you'll know why Atlantis sank, you'll know who built the Keep of Time... However, there is 1 particular mystery that might not be answered fully... you'll know what it is when you'll read it. It has been an enjoyable journey and I have met many friends through this series. I am glad that I picked up the first book 'Here, there be Dragons' on impulsed years ago simply because I love dragons and I was attracted by the cover. It was I supposed, love at first sight before I finally get to really fall in love with the book... with the stories. I have re-read the series countless times and I know, I'll re-read it countless more.Thank you James. A. Owen for your gift! less
