Fire to fire (The Darkening Book 1)

Not only did it have a BUNCH of plot lines to follow which you'll be lost wandering in case you had missed something , but the intensity of those subplots had escalated quite quickly which left me turn the pages forthwith and contemplating about what had just happened and what'd happen next.

I think that's a good thing, really. Props to the author for making that happen.

But anyway, it had certainly taken the previous book up a notch albeit it's not quite there yet where I'm so WOW-ed up to my core. But I'm hoping it'll get better and better for the end of the series is finally approaching. Also, I'd like to mention this one moment in the book where David Rain oops was thinking back to the time when he was just a normal guy who applied as a tenant in the Pennykettle household, and then kinda got involved with the history of dragons which apparently is of great importance.

He was like saying goodbye to the world or something. It was a bit melodramatic but I liked it, anyway. I've actually started reading Fire World, the next book in the series; and I'm liking it so far. I hope it just gets better eventually. No more confusing subplots though I know d'Lacey's writing-style can be really confusing at times.

But I've somehow learned to forgive him for that. Just don't kill my precious clay dragons.

Apr 25, Amalia added it Shelves: I was eagerly awaiting this book. It was as compelling as the others in the series and had some of the lighter magical appeal of the first but there were some truly frightening scenes in there.. Don't want to give away the ending but it easily opens to a 6th book for this series. I find the spiritual and physics elements of this series very intriguing. The way characters move through time rifts and space is enviable.

Just imagine what we could accomplish if we didn't always ha I was eagerly awaiting this book. Just imagine what we could accomplish if we didn't always have to factor in travel time? Altough, as a literature student many, many moons ago, I always used the travel time to catch up on my reading and now, as a mother of five, I use it to do some quiet thinking, and often some one-on-one bonding. I guess I do value my travel time after all: The mysteries around the Pennykettles continue to unfold.

While some important questions are answered, many more are presented for us to puzzle over. Lucy goes on yet another adventure where her red hair is the key and the question of who to trust is as urgent as ever. Feb 17, Anna rated it liked it Shelves: Just realised I have in fact read this one aready, but re-read it anyway.

I find the dragon names irrtating and I enjoyed this less on a re-read: It is a strange series - I becomes more YA as it goes along and some of the ideas and references are quite complicated or sophisticated. I'm not alays convinced Chris D'Lacey know where his narrative was going to end when he started the series or that might be because I read the first few in the wrong ord Just realised I have in fact read this one aready, but re-read it anyway. I'm not alays convinced Chris D'Lacey know where his narrative was going to end when he started the series or that might be because I read the first few in the wrong order and got confused, but essentially the world as we know it is ending and will be restructured with dragons constructs from another world re-emerging to engage in a universal war of good represented by the Fain and evil embodied through the Ix focussed around eatth and the human race.

Nov 11, Dayna Smith rated it it was ok Shelves: The fifth book in the Last Dragon Chronicles. David Rain has returned and so have the dragons. Can David and his friends manage to free the dragons and defeat the Ix before the evil race manages to create a darkling? It's a race against time and the lives of everyone David loves, as well as the planet itself hangs in the balance. This book has much more action than the previous installments. The ending leaves you wondering if there will be a book six. Feb 17, Isabel rated it it was ok. This is the only book in this series I have read recently, so it's the only one I have criticism of.

I have come to not like d'Lacey's writing anymore. He adds too many types of animals and connections to the earth in each book, so it's hard to remember every animal in the later books. When I was reading the earlier books, they were so epic because I was a little kid. I never really understood why David did all the crazy things he did. Dec 02, Preston rated it it was amazing.

This book is a very good book. Action, because there is lots of fighting. Mystery, because there is lots secrets. Comody because of the way they are to each other. I read 6 of the books in this series. One of the best series I had read in a long time. Do you like any type of mystery, action, or comody? Then this is the book for you. Jun 15, Kevin rated it it was amazing. It's a really good book so far! The only problem for me, was that it's been like a year since I finished reading "The Fire Eternal" so I got confused at times.

Other than that, it's really cool how there's all these relationships between humans, dragons, and polar bears! I'm definitely going to read the whole series over again to make everything more clear.

Amazing book, hope it's not the last!! Jun 04, Sarah rated it it was amazing. All of the details you know comes together but leaves you wanting more in the next book.

It shows you the deep and scary things that are behind David's world. Sep 19, The Bookwyrm rated it liked it. I rated this 3 stars because it was a TINY bit better than the other ones, but this is the book that started everything off as a huge jumbled mess of "organic writing" which is basically the author's self-made euphemism for "a story that I make up as I write. This should not happen. Also, if you are going to make an "and Honestly, when everyone disappeared, I thought, "Oh Well, that's too bad! Also, in the moment again, this could be in a different book because I can't tell them apart; they all make no sense when David realizes he's a prophet and can make his writing come to life and someone asks, "How does your story end?

D'lacey, but he's a Seriously this book is fine Assume everyone dies, the end.

Yay, no one has to deal with their problems. Jul 02, Annika rated it it was amazing. This is my favorite book in the series and I believe that I have read it four times, the first three being in , but I am not certain. This one ends with a major cliff hanger and is the last 'normal' book in the series. The next two books fringe more on YA in my opinion and this is the last real middle grade style novel.

There is more tension and anticipation in this story than in the previous books. All I can say is that the characters become more and more lovable to me. Apr 29, Germaine Palima rated it liked it. This book is the fifth in its series and it is not as good as the previous books. The book just became too confusing. The author of this book adds too many connections to animals which makes the book harder to understand.

The book is good in some parts since this includes lots of detail. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Dec 09, Anvi rated it liked it. Elizabeth penny kettle her husband Arthur and her 16 year old daughter Lucy live with Zanna the partner of their once tenant David Rain and their daughter Alexa. I am exited to read the 6th book.

I felt like this was a kind of redemption of this series to me. Definitely one of my favorites in the series. Oct 08, Sarah Wilson rated it it was ok. I loved the first 3 books in this series, but the overly convoluted plot has slightly ruined it for me sadly. Also, I've heard that this is the last book but absolutely nothing was resolved which was disappointing Jan 09, Wyatt rated it it was amazing. This book was really good, by really good I mean that it keeps you on the edge of your seat at the end of every chapter and makes you want to check out the next book in the series.

I could barely finish the last pages fast enough and wanted to know what would happen next. It's been over a year since I read the first 4 books on the series but I feel as if the 4th book was an ending and this one just drug the story on, but I could be mistaken on the ending of book 4.
