Oops. I finished this at the beginning of the week and forgot to
write my review about it!
The How to Train Your Dragon books have stayed surprisingly
entertaining. The author is doing a good
job at mixing up the plot and characters.
I really enjoyed this one because it didn’t really involve a “bad guy”. It still had drama and a climax, but they
weren’t fighting off one of Hiccup’s arch enemies – though he may have just
made another!
The addition of Kamikaze to the story has been
refreshing. She’s a lot of fun and I
like having the girl’s perspective on things – even though she’s the least
girliest girl I’ve ever seen! She really
pushes Hiccup and Fishlegs when they want to wimp out and she is actually
pretty brave.
I loved the Stealth Dragon in this story. Not only was his
accent super cute (love this narrator!!!) but he was just a lot of fun. The
addition of Kamikaze’s dragon was a nice touch too. Poor Toothless has a little
crush on her! I hope we see her more
throughout the series now.
I also really liked that Stoick is starting to be accepting
of his son and see that just because he doesn’t have the typical Viking build
and strength, that he has gone through some pretty seriously scary situations
and come out on the other side thanks to his quick wits.
The best part about this story? It takes place in a library!
And Hiccup tries to get books unbanned. He tries to impose how helpful books
are for knowledge. Perhaps this is why
he becomes the last Great Viking Hero.
