Omg this is an amazing book! The amount of suspension is great. I would have liked it to be a bit more crazy as it does have a war scene and it wasn't giving off that much an insane feeling. Over all I loved it!

3.5 Stars rounded upThe Dragon Heir is much a story about Madison and Jason who played roles in the Wizard Heir. This is the third book in a series that will be five books long. I have read both of Cinda Williams Chima’s series and while I prefer The Seven Realms Series this one is also a solid fantasy series. The characters are full of flaws, making good decisions and bad. Sometimes I think the pacing of the story tends to drag a bit throughout and then all the action ends up being at the end.

Alright. Here we are. I assume that if you've gotten this far, you've read and enjoyed the previous two. Good for you. We finally have something in common. I feel like I know you already, nameless reader.The Dragon Heir is the third and final installment of the Heir Trilogy. (For those among you who do not understand the meaning of the word "trilogy" means.) I really have mixed feelings about this one--hence the four-star rating.The book starts strong, and moves along nicely, weaving together se...

Why this book didn't get 5 stars1. My 2nd favorite character dies, and nobody even seems to care.2. Linda and Leander have hardly any scenes3. The ending was rushed, like she just wanted to get it over with and didn't care about the story anymore--and there were tons of loose ends4. We don't even find out what happens with Jack and Ellen, or get to see Linda and Leander's reactions to the war etc..(The last time we saw Ellen, she was dying and unconscious...is that any way to end a series? I thi...

I think that this was a good conclusion to the series. It brought just as much magic and high intensity as the other two and gave you a lot more of each of the characters. I also enjoy the fact that it keeps it realistic with the people and all the things they are going through amidst battles between mages (that being personal and relationship struggles).It could get dark at times but not too dark that it is bordering on a thriller or horror. Just dark in the sense that the plot is becoming a li...

A great finish to the "Heir" Trilogy. I had a few issues with some of the characters in the story. SPOILERS***Linda and Leander's brief stint in this book was annoying. Why couldn't they come back and help in the battle? Bring a few weapons from the castle's stash? Could they buy a cell phone and call to check in? The Trinity Weir people were in desperate need all the while Linda and Leander hang out in a castle and have basically no part in this book. I was confused about the dragon/lady. Was s...

I just can't rate this book as highly as the first 2 which is a bummer as it's the conclusion. The two main characters were soooooo whiny I felt like I was reading Harry Potter #5. Then it seemed like the author had to go somewhere so she just tied up the end real quick. . . "and he died and she lived and the other two lived happily ever after, the end"

Magic is real, and the people who use it are dicks. Wizards have been engaged in a bloody battle for supremacy for generations, and they don't care who they destroy in the process. In The Warrior Heir, young Jack finds out that he has magic and that the wizards plan to use him as a pawn in their latest scheme. With help from the few wizard rebels, he manages to badly damage the wizards' power over the other magic guilds. In the second book, The Wizard Heir, the growing band of rebels continue th...

I enjoyed the first two books of this trilogy. Ive always liked stories of the "everyman" finding that he's part of a powerful hidden destiny. I felt the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more, but they were still likable overall. The 3rd book however, fell flat on its face. Its almost as if the author couldnt figure out how to end it, so she just wrapped it up with a few quick paragraphs from a third person point of view. Linda and Hastings, integral characters, disappear from the st...

3.5 starsThis was better than I remembered, but maybe not so good that I'd shove this series in anyone's face & beg them to read it.Still. DRAGONS!I guess more specifically, dragon. Because there's only one heir to the Dragon...thingy. Guild? I don't know. Whatever. It's not important. Just know that, unlike all the rest of the magical people, nobody even knew this type of person could exist.SURPRISE! This one has all of the characters from the previous two books in it, but the main focus is on

For a finale, this book was rather underwhelming. It was okay and I still plan to continue the series, but I expected more.Who died? (view spoiler)[[Claude and Dev D’Orsay, Nicodemus Snowbeard, Jason, Warren Barber, Brice Roper, Brooks (ghost warrior now permanently dead)] (hide spoiler)]It surprised me that Jason and Madison were the stars of Dragon. I expected it to be Seph and Jack. I wish it was Seph and Jack. Though I should've liked them, Madison and Jason just annoyed me. Madison's story

This was good. Ok, maybe great. Some stuff didn’t make full sense, and crazy stuff happened, but that’s acceptable.

4.5/5 This was seriously awesome! The Dragon Heir picks up right after the events in The Wizard Heir. This installment focuses more on Madison Moss and Jason Haley. When Jason steals the Dragon Heart from Ravensguild, the Wizards are in an uproar and desperate to get it back. Trinity is preparing for war, Leander Hastings & Linda Downey leave to go after the weapons horde at Ravensguild, leaving Seph McCauley in charge with only a handful of other wizards. I absolutely love the world Chima has c...

This was a pretty underwhelming conclusion to the initial trilogy. More than predictable and quite unsatisfactory. My edition was 499 pages long and everything is "resolved" in the last 30 pages or so and it's not even a good conclusion. Besides the overall plot, I wouldn't say this is a sequel to the first two books. Some characters don't feel like the characters from the previous two books. I was not happy with this and I'm sure as hell won't be picking the next two books that came out after t...

The final book in the excellent ‘Heir’ trilogy wraps up the conflict centered on the talented youths Jack, Ellen, Jason, Seph, and Madison. The war between the different factions of wizards has come to a head and the discovery of a powerful weapon, the Dragonheart, has each side fighting for its control. I think this volume even edged out ‘Warrior Heir’ for my favorite of the three – this one was so much more developed and the characters matured in many ways. One thing that really bugged me was

Things have come to a head between the wizards and the other Weir (those who have the Weirstones that give them special powers). In the previous installment/novel, The Wizard Heir, the Weir attempted to draft a new Covenant, but the peace process was a mockery, and the Covenant was stolen. In an effort to discover its whereabouts, Jason, a young, *good* wizard sneaks into Raven’s Ghyll. He doesn’t find the Covenant, but he does find the Dragonheart – an opal and a source of great power- as well

*3.25 Alright heres the thing....The first half of this story was not the best...it was very slow and the main POVs were very annoying and whiny. At the end of Wizard Heir, my favorite character in this whole series was Jason. In this book he turns into this whiny, attention seeking ass. He did improve but it took him a majority of the book and he still never compared to the Jason in the previous book. Also, Madison was just generally annoying idk why honestly. SEPH was the shining light in this...

I waited quite a while for this one. I loved how the reader gets to see the story from every main character's pov. CWC really knows how to keep the action moving.The only thing that didn't quite meet my expectations was the conclusion. It was a little cliche, and I was disappointed that Madison gained all that power (though it worked). I couldn't really tell if she'd become a wizard or something different entirely, but I thought being an elicitor was plenty without piling on MORE abilities (asid...

This one was not my favorite. the escalation was a bit much.

Overall great writing. The story was entertaining but throughout I never really connected with the protagonists and the characters was curious about were overlooked and/or (view spoiler)[killed off (hide spoiler)]I see there are two more books in the series but right now - still on the read what you have drive - I won't be continuing with this.
