Return of the Dragon Slayers (Dragonwatch)

It's rather unfortunate that this is the last book of the Fablehaven\Dragonwatch series but it ended on a nice open note for more potential storylines to be told so who knows! Really loved that my favourite character was of more focus and ended up being the hero of this series. His redemption was well done and now I'm curious to see how he continues to use his new found abilities. If this is truly the end, I'm going to really miss all the characters we've met but I will remember them very fondly( wont start calling names of my faves cause it'll be too long). But will def recommend this book to anyone who just wants to experience a good mystery, magical type series.

I’ve been reading this series since I was in middle school, now as someone who is in the midst of college, it felt like a series I couldn’t just give up as I grew older. That turned out to be the right decision with this series, as this book wraps things up in a way that truly makes everything worth it. Though it was a little rushed at times (frankly, I prefer that to a book that spends too much time basking in its own importance) the book wrapped up all the plotlines I wanted, and a few that I didn’t know that I wanted.

I absolutely LOVED this series, and dragonwatch is probably bandons best series yet! I would love if there was more to the series, but I feel the story has sadly come to an end. And mr. Mull, if you're reading this, on behalf on many nof your fans, We hope you continue the 5 kingdoms series

When the fablehaven books ended years ago, I was sad to not know what Seth would be up to next. Loved dragonwatch and seeing Seth and Kendra"s adventures continue... And I've loved sharing this books with nieces and nephews... Great job Brandon! I would recommend rereading book four before you start this final book as I didn't and it had been a year since I read it so I was a little confused when I started the book...

I’ve been amazed to watch Seth and Kendra evolve from book to book, series to series. I need to reread some of the previous books, as there are so many twists and turns, promises and betrayals, that I haven’t kept all of it straight, although most of the time there are enough hints to remind me of the basics. Seth goes to some incredibly dark places, and although I was sure Mull wouldn’t leave him there, there were times things seemed hopeless. This book definitely touches on religion more than the others, though mostly it’s just the promise that there is something better after this life. But it also deals with the power of forgiveness, including forgiving yourself. It makes the point that mistakes need not be permanent. Even though Seth was tricked into poor decisions and was largely guiltless, he continued to blame himself and suffer because of it. His is by far the more interesting journey here, although Kendra certainly changes, as well. But Seth has been tangled up in so many promises to so many entities that his life is largely not his own. This is a satisfying end to the series. And although it feels like it could be a “true” end right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Seth and Kendra in another adventure. The world Mull created, being a subset of our own world, seems ripe for more opportunities. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy, although at least teenagers. There are some dark spots that could literally haunt younger children, even if they are accomplished readers. I’m thinking maybe 9th graders and up would be about the right age.
