Description: The much anticipated final book in Chris d'Lacey's NEW YORK TIMES bestselling Last Dragon Chronicles! On Earth, at the battle of Scuffenbury Hill, time has been suspended. Dragons and their natural enemies, the Ix, are trapped in a bitter, unresolved conflict. But at the dawn of history, something is working to change the past -- and the future. A mysterious force is rewriting the timelines, turning what was once legend into startling reality. But is David Rain strong enough to save himself and those he loves from being written into a deadly new destiny? David, Zanna, Lucy, Alexa, and the Pennykettle dragons return, along with some new friends and enemies, to embark on their most dangerous, most thrilling, and most magical adventure yet. Bridging the magic of the first five books with the world and characters introduced in FIRE WORLD, this fiery and action-packed final installment of the Last Dragon Chronicles will have readers racing to the exciting conclusion.
About Author:
He was born in Valetta, Malta, but as a child moved first to Leicester and then to Bolton. After gaining a degree in biology from the University of York, he returned to Leicester and got a job at the University of Leicester in their Pre-Clinical Sciences department. Originally his writing was confined to songs and he didn't turn to fiction until he was 32. His first piece of work was a 250,000 word story about polar bears for his wife, Jay, to accompany a stuffed polar bear he had bought her as a Christmas present. He didn't write another story for seven years, until he heard about a competition to write a story for young children with a prize of £2,000. The resulting book, A Hole at the Pole, also about polar bears, didn't win - but he sent it off to a publisher, who accepted it.
His first children's novel, Fly, Cherokee, Fly, was published in 1998 and subsequently shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. It was inspired by the time he found an injured pigeon in Victoria Park and nursed it back to health at home. It became a family pet and lived for 14 years in a birdbox attached to the back of the house. All of its offspring were given the names of different Native American tribes, which is where the title of the book comes from.) He has since written over twenty children's books, including Pawnee Warrior (a sequel to Fly, Cherokee, Fly), a collaborative novel with fellow children's author Linda Newbery (From E To You), and the best-selling, award-winning The Last Dragon Chronicles. His books often contain environmental themes, and events based on things that have happened to him. In July 2002 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Leicester for his contributions to children's literature. Although writing is now his main source of income, he still works at the university as the operator of the confocal microscope. His favourite children's books are the Paddington Bear series and The Hobbit, and his favourite children's authors are Allan Ahlberg and Roald Dahl. Chris D'Lacey has written many books like Ice Fire and Fire Star, but his most famous book was Dark Fire, the fifth book in The Last Dragon Chronicles.

I don't know why people are giving this such good reviews. The only books in the series I liked were the first few. Then it seemed like d'Lacey was just throwing in twists and changing the timeline or whatever just for the heck of it. The ending was just stupid. Turns out the whole thing was just written by David who wrote it "organically" because d'Lacey wanted to give a excuse to why the story is all over the place for science.

And you know the author didn't care when he made the book within the book get turned into a movie. Somehow I seriously doubt that will ever happen in real life. At that point I thought, "Seriously?" I don't know why this guy is proud of saying he didn't plan any of the plot at all. I could tell he had no idea where he was going with this since the fourth book. (That's when I started barely understanding the books.) I still am not too sure what exactly happened in the last one because Wikipedia hasn't written an article about it yet, and I'm not attempting to read it ever again. This book made no flipping sense. It almost makes Fire World not seem as pointless. And I don't care if to understand the book I have to "read it slower" or something. If I read that book any slower my brain would have died. (I read Divergent in under 4 hours and the plot still made sense to me, even if I didn't like it, for example.)
I guess this is a book you'll either hate or love. I am sorry I am with the former. 8 likes 5 comments
