Publisher's summary

Dear Listener,

There is no way to write a blurb for this final book without spoiling all of the others. Suffice it to say, mysteries resolve, dragons war, pigeons abound, and Julius must risk himself in ways he never dreamed possible as Bob's grand plan finally comes to fruition.

But the Great Seer of the Heartstrikers isn't the only one whose schemes are nearing completion. The Nameless End is coming, and even the machinations of the world's most brilliant dragon seer might not be enough to stop it. As the world comes crashing down, it's up Julius to prove what he's always known: that seers can be wrong, and Nice Dragons don't always finish last.

Awesome ending to a great series!

Where does Last Dragon Standing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's definitely up there, at least in my top 20.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would have to say my favorite character this book was Bob, seeing as we see all his plans and how they came through.

What does Vikas Adam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The awesome range of voices and the emotions behind them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Any additional comments?

A good solid ending to the series. Sometimes you have to end something well rather than trying to extend it as long as possible and losing quality. This series had a nice length, quality story and great ending. What else can you ask for?

Well done.

That was an excellent wrap up the series. I enjoyed the closure on everything. Hope your next series is as good.

Over too soon 😢😭

Wonderful conclusion to one of my favorite series. I'm not sure how I am going to recover from my Heartstrikers withdrawls. Vikas Adam's talent has really grown throughout this series, and he has become a narrator to be reckoned with. The personality and life he brought to Rachel Aaron's vividly written characters really made the audio versions of this series shine. Aaron is one of those writers that I own in both the print and audio, and I like to experience both versions, but of all of her series, Heartstrikers has the best audio performance. Vikas Adam was a new narrator to me when I started this series, and is now one that I will follow to other authors' works. When I reread this series in print over the years, it will be his voices I hear in my head for the characters. Rachel Aaron continues to be my favorite contemporary SF/Fantasy author, and I can't wait for her next series. I'm still not ready to say goodbye to Julius, Marci, Bob, Chelsie, Amelia, Xien, Justin, Svenna, Frederick and all the others (except Myron. UGH. I won't miss that jerk). This is a series (like all of her others) that I will be revisiting again and again. Rachel and Vikas - thank you.

Wonderful Story!

Love all of these well-written books! The story line & characters are compellinf and highly readable. But unfortunately, the narrator emotes distractingly. Great story, though!

Outstanding Series

The entire Nice Dragon series had me hooked from the first book. I have not been disappointed once, with plenty of surprises happening, and a true cast of characters.

A great, fun series!

I enjoyed this series a great deal and this book was a very good ending. When I realized that this really was the last book I actually stopped listening for a weekend, because I didn't want it to end! I cared about the characters, and Vikas Adams is a fantastic narrator, his voices are spot on and very consistent. I normally read for enjoyment, not to read critically, however the only plot hole that I noticed was (without revealing too much) when Bethesda arrives in her dragon form. The last I had known she was sealed... so how she become miraculously unsealed? Someone definitely missed that in the editing process. ( Or my recording a had a hole in it!) Other than that this was a great series and many times had me laughing out loud in the car on my way to work. I highly recommend!
