Rate this book
Isadora is back in Eidolon, marshalling her forces against the evil Dodman. Back in our world, Ben and his siblings are suspicious of their new neighbour - with his Eidolon eye, Ben can just make out that she's a witch from the Secret Country, and that she's got plans for them, none of them good... The Dodman knows all about the legend of three children from both worlds saving the Secret Country from his clasp - and he'll do anything he can to prevent it. Whirled through the wild roads with the witch, they lose baby Alice, and end up trapped on an isolated beach. But the Nautilus and their old friend Silver swim to their rescue and soon they are on their way to help their mother in her battle against the dinosaurs and other creatures under the Dodman's control. But Isadora's army isn't faring at all well - and before Ben and the others can ride to her rescue, she is captured and taken to the sinister castle for a wedding ceremony unlike any other. But first the Dodman needs to get rid of Ben's dad... It's a fight to the finish, but n a dramatic showdown, young Alice reappears transformed - and vanquishes the Dodman, reuniting her family and claiming back the throne. A brilliant conclusion to a magical series.

Kurzmeinung
Der Abschluss der Trilogie hat mir von allen drei Bänden am wenigsten gefallen. Es kam irgendwie nichts neues auf und zog sich ziemlich in die Länge. Dennoch insgesamt eine nette, wenn auch meiner Meinung nach für die Altersgruppe etwas zu brutale, Reihe.

Bens kleine Schwester Alice ist spurlos zwischen Eidolon und der Welt der Menschen verschwunden. Um sie und das verborgene Königreich zu retten, muss Ben sich einem ganzen Dinosauriererheer stellen.

Auf der einen Seite liebe ich den Abschluss dieser Reihe einfach nur, weil es so toll geschrieben ist, aber auf der anderen Seite bin ich auch traurig, dass es jetzt schon vorbei ist. Ich hätte auf jeden Fall gerne noch mehr über Eidolon und seine ganzen Bewohner gelesen. Alle Konflikte, die in den beiden vorherigen Bänden aufgekommen sind, werden wirklich zufriedenstellend gelöst. Es bleiben keine losen Enden übrig und stattdessen wurde die Handlung absolut lückenlos verwoben. Nicht nur Bet hat sich im Laufe der Serie verändert, gerade seine Schwester Ellie hat eine wahnsinnig positive Entwicklung hinter sich. Von einer anfänglichen Zicke wird sie zu einem verantwortungsbewussten Mädchen, das sich nicht nur um sich selbst kümmert und ihren Platz als rechtmäßige Prinzessin von Eidolon einnimmt. Vor allem im dritten Teil gibt es ganz zarte Liebesgeschichten zwischen einigen Charakteren, auch daran zeigt sich die starke Weiterentwicklung von Ellie und Ben. Ich liebe den Schreibstil der Reihe einfach.

Toller Reihenabschluss

Another find for my younger brother.

I guess this book isn't really that bad. Ben is an adorable protagonist, and the book is filled with enough adventure and mystical creatures to keep you intrigued. And the Dodman is a proper, scary villain, the sort intent on mayhem and destruction and achieves it.

But, I don't know. It might have been the dinosaurs. Or the feeling of a hastily written story. Or Isadora. (I really don't like Isadora. Her character reeks of selfishness, no matter how the story paints her as good and kind and brave and whatever.) Or it might have been the hunky dory five minute ending.

I have a feeling the earlier books in this series might be better. I might give them a try.

The final part of the epic Eidolon trilogy, which builds up to a thrilling conclusion and ties up many desperate ends.

Johnson's impeccable style wavers not a word, fusing easy reading with a beautiful poetry and her wonderfully original ideas.

SPOILER: There be dinosaurs!
