This is the last in this short trilogy, of which I still haven't read the first. I don't have many different thoughts on this book than the one before. Interesting concepts and ideas, but they don't seem as fleshed out as they should be. I might not be getting everything since I missed the first book in the series. The ending is for the most part disappointing. I kind of like Argus just because he's so boring and determined not to be involved in what clearly is trying to involve him. He wants to...more

Like the previous books in the trilogy, I really liked this one. Tom Lichtenberg is a talented storyteller who does a great job of writing a fantastic mystery that continues to remain a mystery. In his bizarre and entertaining books, I don’t mind not knowing the answer, because the journey he gives is that good.
To complete the circle, ‘Dragon Town’ is told from Sapphire’s perspective, Alex Kirkham’s former childhood friend. (The first in the trilogy is told from Alex’s perspective, and the seco...more

Originally this book was supposed to be the final part of a trilogy but now there is a fourth book, presumably to answer all the questions that the first three books don't! I can't really say anymore about this series of books apart from what has been said before:
1) Each book involves one of the main three characters, with the others there as background detail.
2) It's about a place / being / dragon that appears / disappears every 600 days / 17 years.
I'm going to read the fourth book in the serie...more

The Book's Review of Itself:
Although the Dragon City stories are currently billed as a trilogy, and this is the third book, it feels more like the overall tale is as much a mystery to its author as to any of its readers, and perhaps is still a work in progress. Lurking in the background of all three is the notion that the place-or-thing at Snapdragon Alley is very, very old, and that its moments are generations to humans, and within its scope our meager glimpses into it are no more illuminating...more

Still no ending. No questions answered. Nothing resolved. I was quite entertained while I was reading, but now that I'm finished, I'm disappointed. Maybe I'm too old fashioned to appreciate this story. I need loose ends tied up and questions answered when the story ends. I would be very interested to read any follow up to this story that may come out.

It is kind of a strange experience reading the third book of a series first. That said the tale is self contained and keeps you hanging on the edge of your seat. The ending is in a happy jungle.
A slow start, but became more interesting as it went along, but that's because it is Book 3 of 3 and so no wonder I didn't slip into it too easily. I will read the others. Hope there's more. I want to know what happens (or has it happened?)
This book, like the first two, didn't really go anywhere, and didn't really resolve anything.
