This book was the best out of the 3 in the trilogy. I thought Beck was a bit hard to be empathetic with but all in all it wasn't that bad. Also it was a rare YA lacking drugs, sex, and cursing something I wish more YA's were without.

Absolutely wonderful ending to the trilogy. I didn't completely suspect the "twist" but it wasn't a total shock. I was disappointed for a bit about the twist, but I definitely understood it and I loved how it turned out.

Beck is trying to put his life back together and forget the pillage the dragons had done by getting rid of the last stone. Beck, Kate and Wyatt find a chute that seems to have no bottom and decide this is a great place to dispose of the stone.
After getting rid of the last stone, Beck is far from safe. The plants seems to be attaching him on every side. When he is taken to see his father in the hospital, he is told that to end all this craziness he must plant the stone. Trying to convince his father and himself that the stone is now out of reach doesn't happen. Beck knows that he can get to it but to do so will mean lying to Kate and that is something that he doesn't want to do.
However.... he does get the stone, plants it and what is hatched is the worst dragon yet or is it.

Overall, I think it was a good book, and Igeniuely enjoyed it. I would suggest readers finish this series and anyone who enjoys books with dragons in it.
The one thing I didn't like was the aspect of memory loss in Kingsplot as a factor. Well, I do like it as a magic mechanic, but I wish it was introduced in the previous books, especially the second one. And because of this mechanic, it almost invalidates the antagonist of the second book. Another thing that didn't both me a lot, but I know bothers others, is that Beck can be a little unbearable sometimes. I didn't mind it because he's a teenage boy, it's in character, and it makes sense with the curse over the Pillage family.
Once again, I did enjoy this series, and I like how the end was wrapped up in a fairly seamless and happy way (those books are nice sometimes). I will be looking into reading other books by Obert Skye.

I really liked this series, so I gave it a four star rating, but parts of it definitely could have been better. This book in particular started to feel predictable at times. The main character is a combination of bad luck and bad judgment over and over and over again. The ending was nice and I'm glad the series is all wrapped up.

This was a good ending to this middle grade series. :) I love this series but I just can't the main character sometimes. He reminds me of a friend I used to have and I think something about that annoys me. But anyways this is a good clean read great from anyone to young readers to adults! Check my YouTube channel for my review. :)

All Challenges done. Book #102 for this year.
Book 3 of the Pillage series. Probably the darkest of the 3 books. Young Beck has some really hard lessons ahead of him in this book, but will the Pillage curse allow him to learn it or will he lose all that he has come to care for.
Some decisions.. really take a toll. The author did a great job on this one.

This book followed the same formula as the other two in the series. The most annoying part of that was the fact that the dragons don't appear until about 2/3 of the way through each book.

This was a good finish. I will say the first one was the best, and the second one was the worst. But the way Beck develops in Ambush was AMAZING. Even just that made the third book way worth reading.
Now, I"m not usually fond of repetitive stories, and lots of people were saying this series was really repetitive. I must say, it wasn't that bad. The third one was kinda like the second one, as in, it had the same characters with the same flaws and the same weaknesses. But the stakes were raised, for one, and the character development made everything different. It answered all my questions, and while Kate was kinda annoying and stupid, it ended the 'like' story well.
It was middle grade fiction--Not always my favorite. But this one.... Worth it.
