Great climax

"And for the first time he saw fully the dark power which had enthralled his enemies, those others who had embraced the cause of the Shadow Lord. He almost understood them ... Rolf the Capricon. Kirsten of Shadowgate. Laughing Jack. And the unknown enemy here, in Del." -- THE SISTER OF THE SOUTH This book was a great climax. You will never guess who is the guardian or what will happen in the final confrontation.

Deltora's End

It is a great ending to a great series, truly fitting for such an epic tale.

A Charming Conclusion!

Lief, Jasmine and Barda are now hot on the trail of the last sister!They are horrified when they learn, that the final sister lies in the Palace of Del.When they arrive at the palace, they learn that an evil plague has killed many citizens of Del, and many of Lief's close friends, are hanging on their last thread of life. Lief, is scared of the last sister, and doesn't want to fight it.He would rather die than fight the final sister, it is then, when he tries to take of the beautiful belt of Deltora, but someone stops him.That someone is Manus! I loved the last and exciting Deltoran adventure that will hopefully be the final.The sister was very interesting, and the guardian was a little bit too obvious.But still, it is a wonderful book, and the ending, magic.

Woo hoo!

Excellent book! It is as action packed, exciting and full of twists as the others. You just couldn't guess who the guardian was! And when they killed the Sister of the South, it seemed a happy, peaceful ending, but that's just not all. I highly recommend it to everybody. It's just that, through the last 14 books of Deltora, and you're so gripped by it you can hardly put the book down. Sure, it's among the best books I've ever read, and it has a happy ending, but I was still a bit sad at the end that their adventures ended.

Exciting conclusion to the Dragons of Deltora series.

Lief, Jasmine, and Barda have defeated three of the Four Sisters, and now only the Sister of the South remains. But to their horror, they learn that it is hidden in the city of Del. They return to the palace to find that there is a terrible plague in Del. Lief's own mother is very ill, and hundreds have died. Lief is sure the Shadow Lord is behind the plague somehow. As king, Lief feels responsible for everything bad that happens, and he has a terrible sense of foreboding about fighting the last Sister. Will he be brave enough when the time comes for the final battle? Readers who have read all the previous Deltora adventures won't want to miss this conclusion to the third Deltora series, Dragons of Deltora. It's an action-packed, exciting finale that Emily Rodda's fans are sure to enjoy. It appears from the ending that this will be the final Deltora series, but if that is the case, it does wrap up everything nicely, and fans shouldn't be disappointed.
