Review
That was a tantalising and fantastic conclusion to this wonderfully written trilogy. The characters were very entertaining, lots of dragons, magic, and the desire and hope that good will triumph evil once and for all.
Dragons of Dark is the third and final book in Upon Dragon’s Breath. If you love dragons with strong personalities and strong magical bonds between them and their dragon riders, then you will absolutely love this.
Ava Richardson has created a brilliant fantasy realm for all ages to read and get lost in her world with their favourite beasts, Dragons. It’s an easy read with an imaginative evil wizard, innocent good guys turned heroes, war and lots of action scenes but not overly done with violence, I really enjoyed the trilogy and look forward to reading more from this author.
Our two main protagonists have come a long way in this story, as they develop into their roles, they were born into. But first, they must rid the world of the evil king and wizard Hacon Maddox.
War is coming to Torvold, and Saffron must learn to control her magical powers before she hurts those close to her. She is a powerful sorceress, and she alone holds the key to defeat King Hacon.
Bower has taken to his role as the dragon king, uniting humans and dragons again. With an army now in his command, there is only one destination, Torvold. To win back his Kingdom, they must topple evil and break the spell that’s darkened it for years.
To all you dragons lovers out there, I very highly recommend this wonderful trilogy…
