This is the 3rd book in the Unmapped Kingdoms series， which follows runaway Zebedee Bolt as he is tricked into helping the evil harpy Morg， until he realises just how horrific her plan is and teams up with a formidable girl named Oonie， a very chatty chameleon and a whole host of other incredible characters to find the Ember Scroll before Morg and give the Unmapped Kingdoms a happy ending。 Zeb has real issues with trusting people due to his background， and my heart just broke for him so much of This is the 3rd book in the Unmapped Kingdoms series， which follows runaway Zebedee Bolt as he is tricked into helping the evil harpy Morg， until he realises just how horrific her plan is and teams up with a formidable girl named Oonie， a very chatty chameleon and a whole host of other incredible characters to find the Ember Scroll before Morg and give the Unmapped Kingdoms a happy ending。 Zeb has real issues with trusting people due to his background， and my heart just broke for him so much of the time。 His friendships with Oonie and Mrs Fickletint were so heartwarming， though， and I also loved his relationships with Fox （who returns as an adult in this book！） and the titular dragon。 Oonie was a wonderful Unmapper companion for him and I really appreciated the disability rep， as she is blind， but her disability does not define her yet it’s shown as an important part of who she is。 Mrs Fickletint was so lovely， and there are so many other characters I loved but don’t want to give any spoilers about。 Morg， however， is still as terrifying as ever， and this is possibly the most thrilling， unputdownable book of the trilogy。 It was great to see more of Crackledawn， and although I was disappointed not to see much of Silvercrag， I really enjoyed learning more about it。 I can’t believe this series is over already， but I’m already very excited to read whatever Abi writes next， which is sure to be just as magical and uplifting as this was。 。。。more

I really did not want this series to end， I have been hiding this until I was ready to say goodbye。 This is another Abi Elphinstone gem， full of adventure， magic and mayhem。 the characters are always difficult to leave behind when finishing a book， however this time it has been much harder。 Please say there will be a new series soon。。。

More excellent adventure in imagination

The third Unmapped Chronicles book is just as good as the other two。 Abi Elphinstone has a way of creating a beautifully magical world with her vivid descriptions and this book was no exception。

The conclusion to the Unmapped Chronicles is superb， just as wonderful as the other books。 Full of adventure， suspense， magical places and fantastic characters。 The descriptions really brought the places to life and I loved all the whimsical names and creatures。 I absolutely adored it just as much as the previous books， I've been trying to think of some more original emotions but I can't do any better！ The narrator is delightful， giving it an amazing storytelling quality， like listening to a bed The conclusion to the Unmapped Chronicles is superb， just as wonderful as the other books。 Full of adventure， suspense， magical places and fantastic characters。 The descriptions really brought the places to life and I loved all the whimsical names and creatures。 I absolutely adored it just as much as the previous books， I've been trying to think of some more original emotions but I can't do any better！ The narrator is delightful， giving it an amazing storytelling quality， like listening to a bedtime story。My only criticism is that I'm sad it's over and I want more books in the Unmapped Kingdoms！ 。。。more

This is the final book in the Unmapped Chronicles and it was a great wrap up for the story。 I really liked Zeb as a character， in fact all the new characters were lovely and I warmed to them immediately and it was great to see some old faces from the previous books too。 The story moved on nicely and fit well with the larger overall story， everything fit together well。

This is the final instalment to the Unmapped Chronicles series and it is a fitting ending。 It does help if you have read previous books in the series as there are threads that run throughout the books。In this book we meet Zeb， a boy who has moved between foster homes many times and who trusts no one。 Having run away from his latest home， he meets Morg - the harpy who is trying to take control of the Unmapped Kingdoms。 Has Zeb found someone he can trust？ Has Morg found someone who can help her to This is the final instalment to the Unmapped Chronicles series and it is a fitting ending。 It does help if you have read previous books in the series as there are threads that run throughout the books。In this book we meet Zeb， a boy who has moved between foster homes many times and who trusts no one。 Having run away from his latest home， he meets Morg - the harpy who is trying to take control of the Unmapped Kingdoms。 Has Zeb found someone he can trust？ Has Morg found someone who can help her to achieve her dreams？The characters that Zeb meets on his adventures are so brilliantly written - they are not perfect but as you read through the book you start to understand their actions and behaviours。 This a fantastical， magical adventure about friendship， believing and - most of all - trust。Thanks to Net Galley for allowing me to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

THE CRACKLEDAWN DRAGON is the second book this year that's third in a series I had thought was going to be a quartet not a trilogy。 No idea how that happened to me not once by twice！ I'm a little bit sad that Silvercrag （the final Unmapped Realm， and the only one without a book dedicated to it） got so little page time （less than 50 pages！）I loved returning to the Unmapped Kingdoms for another adventure in this imaginative world。 Drinks that make your bottom wobble， an elephant that never forgets THE CRACKLEDAWN DRAGON is the second book this year that's third in a series I had thought was going to be a quartet not a trilogy。 No idea how that happened to me not once by twice！ I'm a little bit sad that Silvercrag （the final Unmapped Realm， and the only one without a book dedicated to it） got so little page time （less than 50 pages！）I loved returning to the Unmapped Kingdoms for another adventure in this imaginative world。 Drinks that make your bottom wobble， an elephant that never forgets anything， a hurtle （turtle-like-thing） that does your housework！ It's just endless fun， and lots of laughs。 Plus this books always pass way too quickly for my liking， as they're just so readable。As a nice distinguishing feature from the other entries， Zeb does not accidentally end up in the Unmapped Kingdoms and then end up on the quest to save the world immediately。 Instead， he's dragged there by Morg， and joins her team at first。 He's hurt and vengeful， so an evil harpy is quite easily able to exploit that。 Then he realises she's going to double cross him， rather than granting his dreams， so NOPE， no longer on Team Harpy！This is the first book in the series where a protagonist from a previous book returns in more than just a cameo role。 I really liked seeing Fox again。 It's not a major part， but it's important to Zeb's journey that she's there。 Given the fact this series is spread over more than a hundred years of our world （into the future， but as so much time is spent in the Unmapped Kingdoms， there's not much "our" world seen， so it feels like the now）， Fox is now an adult！ There are very rarely competent， child-safety-conscious adults in MG or YA， so it was a nice change。I really appreciated the fact that， at the end of the book， after the big battle where （as you'd expect） Morg is defeated once and for all， the human world isn't suddenly put to rights。 Not much time is spent back in "Faraway" （aka， Earth） and the focus is on Zeb's arc， but there's no line saying that the climate emergency is magically fixed。 It's implied by the world's premise， but it felt better， given the real climate emergency， to leave it as potentially still a mess to drive home the point that we have to act to stop the situation getting even worse。 。。。more

I am so utterly obsessed with this series and especially this book; it was both heart-warming and humorous。 So many moments that I almost cried （and some moments I did cry） but also so many moments that had me laughing - out loud that is。 I love this series and this felt like a brilliant conclusion to the series

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Simon and Schuster in exchange for an honest review。This is the final instalment in the Unmapped Chronicles and draws together all the threads， woven through the previous books in this series。 As with each book in this series， we follow a different main character and in this story Zebedee Bolt is our protagonist。 Zeb is a young boy that has been let down by the system。 Moved from foster home to foster home too many times， Zeb has come to the deci I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Simon and Schuster in exchange for an honest review。This is the final instalment in the Unmapped Chronicles and draws together all the threads， woven through the previous books in this series。 As with each book in this series， we follow a different main character and in this story Zebedee Bolt is our protagonist。 Zeb is a young boy that has been let down by the system。 Moved from foster home to foster home too many times， Zeb has come to the decision that he can't trust anyone。 When his most recent placement fails to work out， 11 year old Zeb runs away， straight into the path of Morg。 It has been many years since Morg's defeat by the Petty-Squabble twins and the harpy has finally clawed her way back to the Faraway。 However， she needs a Faraway child and the magic of a phoenix tear to return her to the Unmapped Kingdoms。 Will Zeb fight against Morg and free the world from her rule， or has Morg finally found a Faraway child who's on her side？There were some parts of this story that I absolutely loved。 First， the characters。 Abi Elphinstone has such a gift for creating flawed but loveable characters。 In every book， her characters make mistakes， get angry and sometimes choose the wrong path。 However， instead of hating these characters， you fall in love with them because the author shows you glimpses of their vulnerable side， of times that they were hurt and why things we may think are simple are the hardest thing in the world to them。 You end up just wanting to hug them tight and never let go。 Zeb， Oonie and Snaggle are all wonderful characters。Secondly， and linked to the first。 I love the honest and uplifting messages throughout the book。 There are at least 10 quotes in this book that I've highlighted as they are so poignant and things we all need to remember: be a little kinder， be a little braver， don't lose hope。The third thing I love about this book are the hilarious names for objects and characters。 Perpetual Faff has to be one of my favourite character names ever and it suits her so brilliantly。 I also love the thought that went into naming objects such as the threadbear rug and the alarm croc。 These names are similar enough to the real ones that you know what they're based on， but the slight difference in spelling gives them a whole new meaning。Now we cone to the parts I didn't enjoy as much。 I did love the puns and magical objects created from slightly changing the spelling or meaning of real objects。 However， after a while， there was so many of these that the world started to feel a little ridiculous。 Instead of Zeb being handed the next magical item， I just wanted him to eat a normal meal or put on a normal item of clothing and get on with saving the world。 For me， the amount of bizarre items， started to distract from the main story。The second thing I was less keen on， and this is just personal preference， was the number of times things just worked right 'because that is what magic can do'。 I definitely prefer hard magic systems and so I'm less likely to get on board with things being different to what I understood was possible。 Others with different preferences might see this issue differently。Overall， this is a good conclusion to the Unmapped Chronicles and I think readers will enjoy the links it makes to previous stories。 。。。more
