Embers of Destruction Mysteries of Cove J Scott Savage 9781629724201 Books Reviews

• This was a well done conclusion to the Mysteries of Cove series. Again this volume was more about a dystopian society than any sort of steampunk society. This time our heroes journey into a city run by an immense white dragon. All the humans in that city seem perfectly pleased to slave away providing the dragons with food and shelter.
  
  Trenton and friends are eager to figure out what is going on with this new town and to find Kallista’s father once and for all. However, everyone seems to be so content in this new city that they don’t know if there really is anything wrong going on here. Eventually they do find a small group of rebellious kids to help them uncover the truth.
  
  There are alot of wonderful fight scenes between dragons and some new and interesting inventions introduced. There are some light steampunk elements in here, but this is again mostly a dystopian novel.
  
  Things are well wrapped up but the story does end a bit abruptly. I had some issues with how all the problems were resolved; it just seemed too unbelievable and too neat.
  
  Overall this was an entertaining and well done middle grade dystopian trilogy. Each book introduces a new dystopian society and a new invention that the kids have to build to help them through their journeys. I would recommend to kids who enjoy adventure fantasy books.
• Great wrap-up. It was a ton of fun on its own, but also meshed well with the previous volumes and even helped us understand why things were the way they were in Cove, with regards to creativity and inventions. Plenty of great characters too. Can't say I predicted the ending.
• My two sons (ages 9 and 15) both love this book. It has been a favorite. Other books they enjoy Harry Potter, Fablehaven, Michael Vey, Inventor's Secret...the list goes on. They enjoy it enough that it is one I think I will read when I have some time.
• amazing series
• A fantastic finish! Excitement and suspense that kept me turning pages in the early morning hours.
• My son loves these books!
• He loved the book and series.
• This book is the perfect ending to a very fun trilogy! It's perfect for middle grade and YA readers (and their moms too!) The characters are well written and developed. Trenton is such a great character. I love his humility, his creativity, and his ability to think and act appropriately under pressure. He has his flaws, he's not perfect, but that's one thing I like about his character. Kallista is a great character as well. She's a little more complex than Trenton is, and may be strong-willed, but I love her ingenuity, her work ethic, and I love that she's a strong female character. The descriptions in the book are excellent, especially those of the white dragon; you can feel the evil dripping off him. It's so great that the kids need to use their brains and their skills to solve their problems. I like that they have to work together; all these lessons are great-and the readers don't notice that they're learning life lessons in the midst of a fun story! I highly recommend this book and series! It's a little more violent than the first two; there is more fighting and a character dies, but there's no profanity or "intimacy." I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. You may read my full review on my book blog the-readathon.blogspot.com.
