Jamie Littler can do no wrong in my opinion. This is such an amazing series, and this third installment is just as well done as the first two. Littler has my heart and I can´t wait to see what he´ll do next.

I wanted to find out how the trilogy would finish but didn't feel particularly invested in the characters.

What a brilliant ending to a dramatic and fantastical trilogy. The complexity leading to this point is both epic and impressive but this ending is also impressive and satisfying

In Frostheart 3: Rise of the World Eater, Ash and the Frostheart crew must battle the ancient and deadly Devourer after Shard releases it from imprisonment. Can they come together for one final time to save the world as they know it?

This a fantastic finale to the Frostheart trilogy and I was sad when it came to an end. All three books are great but I think they got better and better with each installment. If you’re looking for a fast-paced adventure story full of warmth, this trilogy is for you!

My word, it’s been an honour to be part of this crew and go on adventures with them. From the first page, you’re back with the characters you love in their incredible world. You meet some new faces along the way who add so much to the story and learn about some old faces too. This book sings of hope, of fighting together and the power of love over hate. I adore Tobu with all that I am. This was a rollercoaster of emotions and Jamie is an absolute wizard.

Middle grade adventure series are SO MUCH FUN. This does not disappoint. Also may I say PERFECT for the cold wintry weather. brrrrrr. This addresses so many 'adult' problems or rather problems explored in adult books like trauma, insecurity. In the last adventure, Ash faces the evil Wraith leader Shaard who plans to unleash the dreaded Devourer from its centuries-long imprisonment. Humans vs Wraiths vs Leviathans, travel onto Yeti land, uniting people of the Snow Sea—great adventures as Ash tries to find the truth about the Devourer

The concluding title in the Frostheart series had just as much action, adventure and heart as its predecessors. We rejoin Ash and the crew of the Frostheart as they desperately try to stop Shaard. With the tribes divided, Ash explores the origins of the Devourer in a quest to learn its weaknesses.

I loved learning more about the world built by Jamie Littler - I have been hooked from the beginning to this series to the end. It has been a tale of bravery, friendship and family. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

And just like that it's all over, and the Frostheart has been on its last adventure. Ash and the crew have reached the end of the world, and witnessed the rise of the Devourer. As they race against time to find the final hope to save them all, Ash must confront some awful truths about the world before and unite everyone in Song. But will it be enough?

I've loved this series, following a boy who can sing to the perceived monsters of the world, in a landscape covered in snow and ice and it's a bittersweet moment to see it end. But end it has, and in spectacular fashion. We find Ash finally coming into his own, and stepping out of the shadow of his friends to take his proper place in the world. He's in a very difficult place at the start of the novel, one which makes him confront everything he's ever known and dreamed about, and it makes him a whole mixture of emotions. Add in the constant nipping away at his anger from the monstrous Devourer, and you get a boy who brims with confusion and doubt. Yet still he sets out to do what's best, with the kindest heart.

The crew of the Frostheart are also just as delightful as ever, supporting Ash in everything he does and making him know that he's a part of their family no matter what. The addition of Scratch (and even Jed) just added to the more light-hearted monents too, and cemented this group as one of my all time favourites. They bounce off each other so well.

In terms of plot, this doesn't let up in terms of action and adventure. From the first chapter we're thrown into chases with Wraiths and Leviathans as they fight to stop the Devourer from rising. We're slowly shown even more of this world we've grown to love and explore over the course of the previous books, building on that lore of the mysterious world before, hinted at from the first book onwards. We see how humans and Leviathans have become linked and exploited and gradually watch all the the pieces fall into place towards an epic final showdown. It was magically done, and I was hooked from beginning to end. The emotions I felt probably matched Ash, with a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

I particularly liked the journey into the Yeti lands, as we finally see more of Tobu's past and how he came to be with Ash. They're bond has grown so much since the first book, to the point where they both rely on and learn from each other in equal measure. To explore Tobu's home, and the atmospheric lands of the Yeti was an absolute delight.

One of the best children's books I've read. Ever. Highly imaginative, atmospheric and engaging. The Frostheart will stay with me for a long time.

The finale to this ice-bound series was the perfect thing to hold back until it was starting to get cold and dark (it was a September release.) The baddies have the ability to unleash the World Eater (though, uh, the monster is only ever called The Destroyer in the book, so this book suffers the same issue of having a misleading title as the previous, though it's not quite so stark this time.)

We get to see new lands, as well as tread familiar ones. More time with Yetis, learning about their world and culture would always have been a win, but even more so as a bunch of questions about Tobu's past got filled in!

This is a book that deals with parental rejection when you're not exactly as they want, and the courage it takes not to listen to them. Ash is repeatedly having to defy his new-found mother in order to save the world, and being punished by her for it every time as it would mean she has to change her world view. I really liked the impact it had on the climax.

It's also a book about reaching out to old enemies, looking into the past and discovering a truth that changes everything - and being willing to make that change, accept those mistakes. And it's not just Ash having to face the past, but other characters too (and have to face it in far more immediate ways as it's <em>their</em> mistakes, rather than their ancestors' causing the problems.)

The illustrations are so nice as always, and this time I really noticed the way the various songs differ. There's the good song, that's a more delicate design, with the shading cleverly done so it looks like it shimmers. There's also the dark, sticky-web like bad song, and the visual difference between them is immediately apparent on page.

However, there are points when the illustrations don't help - or rather, the grey background sneaking away from the illustration to cover the whole page. It made it so hard to read the words at time because it was black on grey. This happened a fair bit at the ending.

In all, it was a fun book that rounded the series off nicely.

I cried at the end of this! Loved the journey in this one, it felt like so much more actual development than book 2 which seemed more like aimless wandering. I loved the additional characters development in meeting the drifters and the yeti. I really liked how Ash's mum's character didn't change her prejudices, it really highlighted the importance of the found family.

And so we come to the conclusion of Ash's story, as he battles to save his world and his friends from the dark force of the Devourer. I have loved this series ever since a proof copy of book 1 landed on my desk at work. There hasn't been a weak link in the chain and this final part of the trilogy is no exception. Exciting and heart-warming, with the theme of family at it's heart I will happily recommend this series all day long!

I received with thanks an e-arc of Rise of the World Eater (Frostheart 3) from Penguin Random House and Netgalley. Even though I have been gifted this book for review, all opinions are my own.

This is my review of Rise of the World Eater (Frostheart 3) by Jamie Littler

This book was both wonderful and sad. The story was wonderful and the fact this is the final book in the series is the sad part. I will miss Ash and the crew of the Frostheart. The storyline was engaging and enjoyable to read. I read this is one amazing, roller-coaster session. The artwork within these books are stunning and match the story perfectly. If you have not already started this series, then I highly recommend that you do, you won’t be disappointed.

I've totally adored the Frostheart series. Sparkling Dystopian fantasy world & a story that touches on some quite deep themes of conflict, prejudice & finding home.

Brilliantly illustrated throughout, it almost feels like a graphic novel at times. Must have for primary schools❄

In the conclusion to the Frostheart trilogy, Ash must face his greatest challenge yet. Once compatriot and now evil Wraith leader Shaard has released the Devourer, ancient and powerful leviathan, from its prison where it had remained for centuries after being captured long ago. Ash must help to unite all the peoples of the Snow Sea, including Song Weavers and leviathans, to stand up to the terrifying monster, but the tribes cannot agree. In desperation, Ash, Tobu and the rest of the Frostheart crew must travel to the yeti lands searching for the secrets that might save them.

I’ve absolutely loved all the books in the Frostheart series. Jamie Littler has created a wintery and magical world filled with fantastic and daring adventure and characters with so much heart and soul. Really, I am very upset that this is the last one because I could follow Ash and Tobu and the rest of the crew around doing little jobs forever. However, all good things must come to an end and what an end this was! The wrath of the devourer was dark and destructive and this brought such an epic feel to the conclusion of this phenomenal trilogy.

The theme of family was integral to this novel. The complex nature of Ash’s relationship with his estranged mother was interesting to explore, though I find her quite hard to like as she is harsh and fairly unsympathetic – very strongwilled and unbending. However, the real shining moments were the exploration of Tobu’s past and his found family with Ash. I won’t spoil anything here, but let me say I found the resolution of his character development extremely emotional and his story ending was satisfying.

I could sing about this book for days – epic, phenomenal, compelling conclusion to what has been a fantastic trilogy! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thank you to Penguin Random House Children’s UK and NetGalley for providing an e-book review copy.

A darker book that the first two, but enthralling and engaging. The twists and turns keep the reader involved and wanting to know what will happen. .

Jamie Littler once again draws you into an epic adventure with Ash, Tobu and crew. The world builds further with the Yeti Lands and the new characters are enjoyable. Although it’s bittersweet to see the series end, the adventure was rapped up well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who will listen. I can’t wait to read whatever Jamie Littler writes next.

The final book in the trilogy by Jamie Littler, Frostheart: Rise of The World Eater is one that truly brings the story to an end, albeit much to my dismay.

Returning to the adventures of Ash, though the boy we first met in book one has grown greatly and he is a true adventurer and warrior even if that has been forced upon him. The team of the Frostheart are still as chaotic and fun as they have been before but it is Tobu whose growth is also brought front and centre and you will truly love the hidden side of Ash's stoic guardian. Also, the reader will understand why the normally gruff Yeti is the way he is - no spoilers of course because no one likes them but I will make a small concession and warn you that tissues maybe needed as they story enfolds. Tobu truly is my new hero of Frostheart and yet… no more stories of him. (Yes I am pouting a great deal and I bet that I am not the only one.)

There is hope, there is angst and Ash sadly having his eyes opened to the reality of the word around him further whilst also accepting that he and other Song Weavers found across the Snow Sea - he already really knows that he doesn't deserve the way he has been treated as the outcast, but as you turn the pages of Frostheart: Rise of the World Eater? There are so many realizations, truths and presumptions laid bare and Ash as always leads the fight alongside his chosen family of the Frostheart at his side.

I'm so sad to see this series come to an end, but I know that Frostheart is a trilogy so many children and their families will love - if you're a lover of adventure, and true heroes in a lost word? Then this series is for you, I just want to remind you about tissues for this wonderful conclusion.

The perfect ending to a series that could melt even the most frozen of hearts.

Jamie Littler's ending to the Frostheart series was funny, sad, endearing and an adventure that makes you keep turning the page.
From the beginning of the series to where Ash and the Frostheart crew are now we see great character development and really feel like you get to know each character we are introduced too. I adore the found family elements of this series.

Would recommend this series to all readers of any age. This book does have partially great messages throughout for the intended audience

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Oh.. my..
What an ending to a perfect series! I have thoroughly enjoyed going on the Frostheart adventure with Ash and the crew and believe me.. Frostheart 3 will make you laugh and definitely make you cry too!

The end is drawing closer and if Ash’s mother has her way, it’s going to be a devastating one. Despite the brutal challenges, Ash must unite the various factions of his world to triumph over the devastating Devourer but like all good epic tales, the journey is never easy, sacrifices are going to be required and time is running out.

I honestly didn’t want this series to finish and I was trying to pace myself with small amounts each day to prolong the enjoyment. But it was just so gripping that I keep getting pulled back in to the wild adventure. Ash & his friend’s journey was just too compelling. I have been a massive fan of this series and this finale was the perfect way to round it all off. It’s definitely been one of my highlights of Children’s literature in recent years. I can’t wait to see what Littler creates next!
