Summary
Tensions are at an all-time high in the final book of this rip-roaring adventure series about siblings with magical shapeshifter powers， from New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman。
Though Anders and his friends have delayed a war between ice wolves and scorch dragons， their mission is far from over。 With adults on both sides looking for them， they’ve sought refuge in Cloudhaven， a forbidden stronghold that could hold the key to saving their home。
Meanwhile， Holbard has been ravaged， and its citizens are reeling。 Many have been forced into bleak camps outside the city， and food is running short。
To rebuild Vallen and unite scorch dragons， ice wolves， and humans， Anders and Rayna must put everything on the line…before the damage done is beyond repair。 But the price of peace may hit closer to home than they could’ve ever imagined。

4。5Endings make me so sad！ I'm never gonna see these great characters and their friendship and adventures ever again and I just wanna sob！ This was amazing。 I can't believe how invested in this story I got。 The best part though was definitely the characters。 They have such a wholesome and heart-warming friendship that gave me all the warm fuzzies。 Docking half a star because I think the battle at the end wrapped up waaay too quickly and conveniently and the same for the big confrontation at the 4。5Endings make me so sad！ I'm never gonna see these great characters and their friendship and adventures ever again and I just wanna sob！ This was amazing。 I can't believe how invested in this story I got。 The best part though was definitely the characters。 They have such a wholesome and heart-warming friendship that gave me all the warm fuzzies。 Docking half a star because I think the battle at the end wrapped up waaay too quickly and conveniently and the same for the big confrontation at the end。 That being said this is a middle grade so it's understandable。 Very satisfied with this conclusion and I 100% recommend this trilogy to everyone。 I'm super curious about the other elementals too！ Amie Kaufman write more books with the other elementals please！！ 。。。more

There must be a way for dragons， wolves， and humans to live together in peace。 However， that's become more difficult following the battle in Holbard。 The wolves don't trust us， because they think we're working with the dragons。 The dragons don't trust us， because my twin brother Anders is a wolf。 Our mixed group of survivors must find a safe place to hide， but we can't figure out how to get Cloudhaven to allow anyone besides Anders and I to enter。 The war escalated when our mother was accused of There must be a way for dragons， wolves， and humans to live together in peace。 However， that's become more difficult following the battle in Holbard。 The wolves don't trust us， because they think we're working with the dragons。 The dragons don't trust us， because my twin brother Anders is a wolf。 Our mixed group of survivors must find a safe place to hide， but we can't figure out how to get Cloudhaven to allow anyone besides Anders and I to enter。 The war escalated when our mother was accused of murdering our father， but we know that can't be true。 Someone has been pitting the dragons against the wolves， and there is evidence the destruction in the harbor wasn't caused by dragon fire， as it appeared。 We haven't seen our mother since we were two， but it feels like she's the key to ending the conflict。You should read the first two books before reading this conclusion to the series。 I hadn't read the second one in over a year， and I wish I could've better remembered the previous events。 I was still able to enjoy the story， and the series came to a satisfying conclusion。 The war between the dragons and wolves was like a feud， as it had become a way of life。 They had forgotten that things used to be different， as they did everything they could to stay separated。 Humans were seen as lesser creatures and ended up caught in the middle。 The positive message displayed by the main characters was that communication was more effective than fighting。 The leaders of the dragons and wolves were dead set against it， and the reaction of the human leader was unexpected。 The overall message was about appreciating diversity and differences and learning to live together。 Being different didn't make one group better than another。 While it's hard to believe a book with dragons， wolves， and titled Battle Born didn't contain much action， this book was still entertaining， and the plot moved along nicely。 I recommend you give the whole series a shot。 。。。more

A solid ending to the trilogy， exploring the value of conversation in the search for peace， rather than fighting。

Por alguna extraña razón me esperaba más de esta serie， quizá porque el primer libro me gustó bastante。 A pesar de que su premisa no era novedosa si tenía elementos muy buenos que con un buen desarrollo podría dar lugar a una estupenda serie。 Pero la serie ya finaliza con este volumen y la sensación que tengo es que todo se ha quedado a medio cocer。 Quizá es porque el libro está orientado hacia un público más infantil que juvenil que no hay gran desarrollo de los personajes o nada de acción， sal Por alguna extraña razón me esperaba más de esta serie， quizá porque el primer libro me gustó bastante。 A pesar de que su premisa no era novedosa si tenía elementos muy buenos que con un buen desarrollo podría dar lugar a una estupenda serie。 Pero la serie ya finaliza con este volumen y la sensación que tengo es que todo se ha quedado a medio cocer。 Quizá es porque el libro está orientado hacia un público más infantil que juvenil que no hay gran desarrollo de los personajes o nada de acción， salvo unos momentos puntuales。 O quizá no hay ninguna escusa: el libro es muy soso。 El protagonista principal， Anders， sigue siendo el niño lobo que puede lanzar hielo/fuego。 Su hermana gemela Rayna， que es un dragón， carece de un poder especial。 A estas alturas resulta extraño que la autora no diera más protagonista a la hermana， y si bien se ve que en ciertos momentos los dos son necesarios， es el punto de vista de Anders， el principal。 Todos lo ven como el jefe。 Los personajes secundarios están ahí pero poco más， hay tantos que no da tiempo a empatizar con ninguno。 Los adultos no destacan mucho， salvo quizá el tío de los gemelos。 La trama se divide en dos partes。 La primera es la reunión de todos: dragones， lobos y humanos en la forma de un grupo de niños que deben sobrevivir a los desastres que han causado los adultos。 Aquí no pasa nada de nada。 No hay desarrollo， no hay aventura， no hay elementos que destaquen， no hay rivalidades。。。 no hay nada interesante。 Y eso es un problema porque es la mitad del libro。 En la otra mitad hay un poco más de movimiento pero no se ha añade nada de intriga， emoción o aventura。 Se podría decir que todo es demasiado soso。 La forma en la que se soluciona todo es bastante cuestionable， pero hay que pensar que este es un libro juvenil o más bien infantil así que no puedo esperar algo que se podría dar en cualquier novela fantástica épica。 Como lectura no está mal， sirve para pasar un buen rato y seguramente a los más pequeños de la casa les gustará aunque a los adultos puede que no tanto。 ¿Lo recomendaría？ Como lectura de aventuras， diría que no porque no hay nada interesante en él， pero si quieres leer un libro políticamente correcto， la respuesta es sí。 No sé si leeré algo de Kaufman en un tiempo。 Este último me ha dejado un poco decepcionada para elegir algo de ella en un futuro próximo。Opinión completa 。。。more

4/5 stars。 Overall I enjoyed this a lot， the magical system and the adventure in this book were amazing。 I loved how there were so many cool places in Vallen they discovered。 And how cool Cloudhaven was。 I loved how they all worked together as a team and never gave up。 They discovered new places and new people。 I liked how there were dragons， wolves and humans all together。 I like how the 2 main characters Anders and Rayna helped others。 Some critics about this book were there were too many char 4/5 stars。 Overall I enjoyed this a lot， the magical system and the adventure in this book were amazing。 I loved how there were so many cool places in Vallen they discovered。 And how cool Cloudhaven was。 I loved how they all worked together as a team and never gave up。 They discovered new places and new people。 I liked how there were dragons， wolves and humans all together。 I like how the 2 main characters Anders and Rayna helped others。 Some critics about this book were there were too many characters I couldn't keep up I would give this 4 stars but I'm still not sure。 So this book is about how a battle started between the wolves， dragons and humans。 The dragons and wolves both destroyed their city called Holboard。 With the snow stone， they were ruining Holboard so Anders and his friends decided to use the sun sceptre to stop it but it just caused bigger problems and the whole city was damaged due to this。 Anders and Rayna and his friends went to Cloudhaven because they thought it was safer there and they wouldn't get caught。 They needed to find a way to get Holboard to be a better city and there would be no battles between the humans， wolves， and dragons。 They stayed at Cloudhaven and explored a cave where Drifa （Anders and Rayna's mother） was located。 They also bring more children from the human camp because they were sick and hungry and they helped them。 After they decided they didn't want to wait any longer they wanted to find a way to create peace between the wolves， dragons and humans。 So Drifa helped them with that。 So they could save Holboard and Vallen overall and not have battles anymore。 。。。more

I really like the Elementals: Ice Wolves and Scorch Dragons。 The last one of the Elemental series Battle Born was really interesting and it took me off guard because of the situation with the last book Scorch Dragons。 It follows the aftermath of Anders and Reyna using the Scepter Sun against the Snowstone that the wolves were using to freeze the city and kill the dragons， but it backfired when the two collided and caused a mass destruction leaving people without food， homes and everything was ch I really like the Elementals: Ice Wolves and Scorch Dragons。 The last one of the Elemental series Battle Born was really interesting and it took me off guard because of the situation with the last book Scorch Dragons。 It follows the aftermath of Anders and Reyna using the Scepter Sun against the Snowstone that the wolves were using to freeze the city and kill the dragons， but it backfired when the two collided and caused a mass destruction leaving people without food， homes and everything was chaos。 Anders， Reyna， Ellukka， Lisbet have to force the Ice Wolves， Scorch Dragons and the humans to put their differences aside to help and re-build Vallen。 I always have a soft spot for Anders， Reyna， Ellukka and Lisbet it feels like their have been through a lot。 It was action pack until the end， but I love re visiting Vallen meeting new people through the story， finding out what happened with Anders and Reyna's parents and Lisbet's mum through the story。 Overall I loves the Elemental series it easily deserves 4。5 stars。 。。。more

This was a great read and kids who enjoy fantasy will enjoy the twists and turns of the plot and the varied characters。 The best stories let the reader enjoy the thoughts and feelings of the characters， as well as the storyline， and the 'Elementals' series does this。 I really enjoy Amie Kaufman's writing， and look forward to reading more of her books。 This was a great read and kids who enjoy fantasy will enjoy the twists and turns of the plot and the varied characters。 The best stories let the reader enjoy the thoughts and feelings of the characters， as well as the storyline， and the 'Elementals' series does this。 I really enjoy Amie Kaufman's writing， and look forward to reading more of her books。 。。。more

** 4。5 stars **This was such a great ending to the trilogy。 I loved all the characters and how they all came together。 The plot was fantastic。 There was a slower patch in the middle， but the beginning and end were so good and there were a few twists that took me completely by surprise！ The series overall was wholesome with a good message and ended on a satisfying note。

This book was a great finish I was recommended this series as I enjoy Keeper of the lost cities。 Didn’t think I would be into dragons and wolves but this series has changed my perspective on things。 More human related then I thought。 I always love a good series finished this one is great time as well！

I had a good time reading the conclusion to this trilogy。 Anders， Rayna， and all their friends really had to stick together and put in a lot of effort to unite everyone and create peace。 The pace slowed did a bit again after a more exciting second book， but there was still a good amount of action in this book。 Cloudhaven was focused on a bit too much at times， and a few scenes felt repetitive。 The messages conveyed through these characters and their struggles are definitely ones that middle grad I had a good time reading the conclusion to this trilogy。 Anders， Rayna， and all their friends really had to stick together and put in a lot of effort to unite everyone and create peace。 The pace slowed did a bit again after a more exciting second book， but there was still a good amount of action in this book。 Cloudhaven was focused on a bit too much at times， and a few scenes felt repetitive。 The messages conveyed through these characters and their struggles are definitely ones that middle graders should be hearing， and this story presents morality and inclusivity in a fun and entertaining way。 I think the pace of the plot would likely appeal more to middle grade readers than it did to me， but I still enjoyed this book and the series as a whole quite a lot。 。。。more

So 。 。 。 Battleborn was pretty much as expected。 A great world with awesome character types （the elementals general idea）， and loads of potential， yet lived up to none of it :/The book was oh so repetitive， and I feel really lacked in creativity。 I feel like the writer could have done sooooo much with world， and in the end of the day， the characters fell flat and the adventures could have been miles more exciting。 Like the second book， everything sort of “conveniently works out” for everybody。Th So 。 。 。 Battleborn was pretty much as expected。 A great world with awesome character types （the elementals general idea）， and loads of potential， yet lived up to none of it :/The book was oh so repetitive， and I feel really lacked in creativity。 I feel like the writer could have done sooooo much with world， and in the end of the day， the characters fell flat and the adventures could have been miles more exciting。 Like the second book， everything sort of “conveniently works out” for everybody。The book was only really being held up by the interesting world itself， as I felt like the storytelling really let it down which was a massive shame。I am genuinely gutted because the books got progressively worse throughout the trilogy， and I had such high hopes going into them。 All in all， underwhelmed， and a fortunate 3 stars 。。。more

Still very much adore the series。 I think my only critique of the last book is that I wish it were longer。 The trilogy had a great setting and world。 The story was ultimately one of how if we just worked with one another， despite differences， we could achieve great things。 That most differences are perceived while others will actually enhance the functioning of the whole。 Love， love， love。
