I first read Dragon Mountain last April, gobbled it up in a day, immediately fell in love with the book and have been shouting about it ever since! If you've read Dragon Mountain, you'll know that to say it ends on a cliff-hanger is an understatement, so I've spent the past nine months wondering what was to become of Billy, Dylan, Charlotte and Ling Fei, along with their dragons Spark, Buttons, Xing and Tank.
In Dragon Legend, Dylan has been kidnapped by Old Gold and the Dragon of Death, and it's down to Billy and the others, along with their dragons, to save him; however, this means making the dangerous journey into the Dragon Realm and risking their own lives in the process. Of course, they don't hesitate and embark upon a perilous journey to collect the eight pearls they need in order to defeat the Dragon of Death and the nox-wings.
As you might expect from such a suspenseful ending to book one, you are thrown straight into the action from the very first page of Dragon Legend (but fear not, there is a rather good recap woven into this to remind you of what happened previously) and the adventure doesn't let-up until the very end of the book, with the stakes even higher than last time. Not only are they searching for Dylan, they are desperate to find him before anything can happen to him. And, as well as that, they know that the fate of the world depends on them being able to defeat the most powerful dragon of them all, the evil Dragon of Death. Along the way, they journey through new and wonderful lands, as well as encounter blood-thirsty fish and a flying pig (please can I have one of these?!). They must work together if they are to succeed in their mission but there are secrets being kept and, at times, it is difficult to tell who will win out in the end ... and speaking of the end - wow! Be prepared for an other cliff-hanger that will have you desperate to reach for book 3 before the authors have even finished writing it!
Slightly darker than Dragon Mountain, Dragon Legend allows us to travel through the next perilous stage of the journey alongside our heroes, inhaling the lemony scent of the The Forgotten Sea, feeling their fear for Dylan and experiencing the thrill of on dragons.
Mythology combines with modern day adventure that will have you utterly gripped and unable to put the book down in this brilliant sequel. Full of friendship, warmth and determination, Dragon Legend is pure escapism at a time when we need it more than ever.
Released on the 3rd March, I urge you to pre-order a copy today!
Now, how long until book 3 is released?!?!
