The final volume in this fantasy trilogy features more danger and magical adventures, including the hatching of the final dragon egg and the appearance of the dragon king and his guardians. Beck is an appealing protagonist, though other characters are flatly drawn. Fans of the previous books will expect drama, humor, and action, and there's plenty here for them to enjoy.
