Really enjoyed reading this book and I am 37!(Researching books to read to my class) I had to 'steal' it off my daughter who was only on Ice Fire as she wanted to read it first and had hidden it from me! We both can't wait for book 4. If you like books that are not what they first appear to be and go between a fantasy world and the 'real' world then you'll enjoy this book however old you are.

This is the third book in the "fire" trilogy from author Chris D'Lacey. My 10 year old daughter and I loved it! But it really leaves you wanting more and fortunately we learned from his web site that he is working on book number four "Fire Eternal" which should be released soon. These stories are about the legend of the dragons' firetear;the story of Gawain and Gweneviere and the polar bears. There is magic and mystery and adventure. A very good read for kids and parents alike.

Unlike the previous books in the series, Fire Star turns dark and deals with troubling issues including: torture, characters possessed by an evil alien (really), murder, and odd spiritual beliefs.

I'd recommend for parents to read this book first as the plot takes these darker turns after a dull section at about page 422. My 10-year-old, who loved the first two books, lost interest during the dull part and I will not be encouraging him to finish this book.

Icefire is an extremely interesting sequel to the first book The Fire Within. This book is about a college boy named David Rain, who is a tenant to Liz ( a mysterious potter) and Lucy ( Liz's eleven year old daughter) Pennykettle. In this book he and many clay dragons that come to life needs to find out who a mysterious woman is when she claims that she is a relative of the Pennykettles. But during his college lesson with Dr. Bergstrom, David also finds out that Dr. Bergstrom is strange. This book is highly recommended to anyone at any age.

If you would like a dragon tooth for yourself; then you should read Fire Star.

This book is about a man named David trying to write book on the events that happen in the Canadian Artic. After David returned home everyone in the house including the dragons greeted him. In about the middle of the book David returns to the Artic because he receives an urgent message to return. The message contained information about a mysterious comet landing.

This book would have been better if there weren't many characters. There should have been at least three dragons and four main characters. The things I liked about this book that it is full of mysteries. I would recommend this book for people of the ages of ten to fifteen. I rated this book a four stars because of some of the boring parts.

We received the fourth of these books as a gift and after reading it had to have the first three. This one is very well written and enjoyable.

It's very interesting 'cause a someone named David, when he writes anything, it comes true. The dragon fire series has really good books. (An 9 year old opinion with advanced reading skills).

Fire Star is an incredible story about witches clashing with humans, hurt polar bears, and a kidnapped girl. Read this enchanting story by Chris D'Lacey.

The author ends one of the chapters with a witch luring a landlady's daughter into the world of coldness. And it makes the reader want to read more.

In the book, one of the characters meets up with a polar bear who is fighting with the character's girlfriend!

An Eskimo goes to his dad to stay with him for a week. When he is there with his father, an evil spirit comes into his father's house and haunts all of the family.

I loved the book for the journey but some of the words didn't always fit into the story. I think kids 9-12 would like this book, Fire Star, by Chris D'Lacey. I hope they do.

My sons love this series! They have quickly read each one, and eagerly wait for the next to be released.

Dear Readers,
"Fire Star" is the third book in the Last Dragon Chronicles. The book is about David Rain, a college student who goes on a research trip to the arctic. As soon as he's there, he starts writing a book about bears, dragons, and the Inuit people. As he writes, he finds out his story is becoming true.
If you were planning to buy this book, we (Yakob and Kennan) would say that it is not a good idea. We would give this book 3/5 or even 2/5 if we were rating it. Why? The answer is: this book is not well organized. The story does not run as smoothly as in the first two books. The transitions between the chapters are all over the map. There is also another reason: The main character dies. This is crazy because we don't know how Chris D'Lacey will be able to continue the series without the main character in "The Fire Eternal", "Dark Fire", or "Fire World". Yet we know David has a child. The next book has the child being very young and the story line continues like that.
