Fall of the Last Dragon Rider: A LitRPG Progression Fantasy

The Last Dragon Rider, Book 3

By: Shawn Wilson

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

From the author of Ultimate Level 1: Kaen attempts to save those he loves from a relentless enemy and faces his final test as a legendary Dragon Rider.

Starting life over in a strange land and a different time was a challenge for young Kaen. But his fate as the last Dragon Rider magically bonded him to the magnificent, powerful Pammon and marked him as a hero, a legend, and an inspiring protector of his people. With Amaranth and Glynnis as partners in the fight against Stioks and Juthom, what could go wrong? Turns out a lot. But he still has hope.

Now, Kaen faces what could be his last brutal challenge: keeping his people from slow death by starvation and putting an end to the shattering of families perpetrated by the raiding orc and ogre enemy. Using the force of his mystical lifestone, and with both the dragon and his beautiful new wife, Ava, by his side, Kaen has trained the next generation as well as he can, knowing that one day they will be the future protectors of the kingdom they all hold dear. Some have volunteered to come with him, risking everything, even their lives, to stop the evil Stioks and his army in their tracks.

Amid a staggering array of creatures, both friend and foe—elves, orcs, goblins, ogres, dwarves, trolls—Kaen and his small band of untried but dedicated warriors face the fight of their lives. Harnessing energy wherever he can find it, Kaen must gather all his skills and courage to triumph in the battle to come—knowing well it could be his last . . .

The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

great story fun exciting

one of the best series I have read since I was little well put together well thought out with ups and downs and emotions I have not felt in a story for a very long time thank you writer

dragon

able to increase each gift from archery to wordplay. the bond between the dragon and rider. the whole book was great.

Fun story

It was a fun story though there is a lot of fluff added to this book. many chapters are filler and repetitive.

Story line

Excellent listening without cursing or vulgar sex scenes family friendly with true values really easy listening

A fine finish

I have no true complaints about this book or this series, but if I had to find something to complain about it would the big time skips between books. I kind of feel like I missed out on a lot of stuff but at the same time I don’t think that they detracted from the overall enjoyment of the story.
The other thing that I noticed is that the system mechanics also kind of dropped off by the end of things and started heavily favoring plot progression. I don’t think this was a bad thing but I also enjoy the numbers and measured progression. I know some people don’t like the constant stat updates and skill progressions, but I enjoy them.
Regardless, the books did a great job of telling a fun, fantastical, and epic story of dragons, battle, and family.
The ending itself (no spoilers) was not what I would call heart pounding and fist clinchingly amazing, but it was still a very good ending that didn’t leave a sour taste in my mouth. Frankly, any series that doesn’t have a crappy depressing and or bittersweet ending instantly becomes a good if not great book series for me.
Overall, this has been a fun and enjoyable book series and I will try to keep an eye out for other books by this author.
