Wrath of the Dragon King

This is only a preview. Only the first few chapters. Looking forward to the rest of it. My kids all love Fablehaven and are enjoying this new series but we were disappointed that this is not the full book :(

I am sure this book will be as good as the others based on the preview can't wait for the full book.

Brandon Mull continues the Dragon Watch Series with an exciting adventure as Kendra and Seth face old and new challenges in the Wrath of the Dragon King. Kendra and Seth must face new challenges including facing the King of Dragons, Celebrant. Having to accept an invitation from Celebrant, Kendra and Seth must draw on their strengths and courage to face the threats and confrontations from the Dragons and Magic Worlds. The book captivates the imagination of the reader and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This is a great read and those who follow the series will enjoy this newest title and those readers who have not read the series will want to go and read the entire series.

I really enjoyed this preview, although I wish it was the full book! Kendra and Seth find themselves in another impossible situation and I can't wait to see how Brandon Mull gets them out of this one. Filled with all the things that kids love; dragons, adventure, wizards, lost unicorns and more you can't go wrong.
This book would be great for 8 and up. Kids and adults will love this follow-up to Dragonwatch. I do recommend they they read Fablehaven before starting Dragonwatch as it makes the story easier to follow.

This was a great sneak peek at the adventures of Kendra and Seth. It started right where we left off and gave some insight as to what was to come. I liked the continued quirkiness of Seth’s character and Kendra’s patience with him. The story was good and never dragged. I did like the further information given about their cousin, and would have liked to see him more involved in the story as his character was mentioned and then dropped out. This may play a part later on, I suppose. The dragon histories were good and the look inside their castle was wonderful. I’m excited to see where this goes and what will come in the future for our heroes.

My name is Casper, and my twin brother Jasper and I were literally thrown into a crowd of people when we were only six months old. Of course, it wasn't until now that we learned our real parents have been slaving away as prisoners all these years. We don't even know what they look like. Jasper and I have never been known as rule-followers (just ask our teachers), so any sensible person could have predicted we'd run away to rescue our parents. I must admit I was a little uncomfortable about being eaten by werewolves and drowning in the swamp, but the giant troll named Guthrum the Sinister came in pretty handy. I'm sorry we tricked him into burying "magic" yarn, but desperate times called for creative thinking. I'm not sure how we'll rescue our parents and mess up the count's plans for the deadly black ice, but we'll think of something.

Some readers might not enjoy the word play in the book, but I found it amusing. Younger readers will probably miss the references to old pop culture. The twins had a special bond, and their teamwork was formidable. They used language as a weapon or tool, as they confused and manipulated people they met. They managed to get past Guthrum by bribing him with yarn, and they later escaped from the same troll by using their words. Guthrum was an endearing character, since he was sincere and only wanted to do his best. I'm not sure I've ever read a book where all of the antagonists are so simple and gullible. The only one with an actual sense of evil logic was the "princess". She was a poor, needy girl who managed to become Count Wilhelm Scream's most powerful confidante using confusion and trickery. She was as ruthless as the count, as they both enjoyed inflicting pain on others. The plot jumped around to several settings, which I don't enjoy, but the imprisoned parents displayed the same magical tongues as their sons. They were able to persuade the guards into making the prison arrangements more bearable for their fellow inmates. The author left some unfinished business after the climax, but everything was resolved in the end.

For fans of Fablehaven, this is like Christmas coming early. The characters we know and love are back-embroiled in a fight to save the world from Dragons. It will take all the skills and luck they have to figure out a way to outsmart the king of the dragons. Perfect for middle readers and the whole family

I can't wait to read the entire novel! I hope that October comes soon. This first part gives the reader a taste of the full adventure to come. Kendra and Seth are as delightful as always, the writing is fast-paced and full of adventure.

#WrathOfTheDragonKing #NetGalley
Kendra and Seth are back again, Brandon Mull has a way of keeping the story moving. I was given an advanced reading copy of the first nine chapters from NetGalley, I wish I had been given the full book, because I want to know what happens, dragons,faries,unicorns all have a place in this story.

Brandon Mull is one of my favorite authors. And my daughters love his books as well. His books are a must read at our house. In fact, this book has been fought over. You know it’s good when that happens!

This book picks up where the first Dragonwatch left off. If you haven’t read that one, you really need to read it. Before you read any more of this review or before you read this one.

I love how Brandon Mull has kept Seth and Kendra consistent throughout both the Fablehaven series and this one. The reader knows the characters well enough to know how they will respond to things. Both Seth and Kendra are great characters. I love that you get to see things through their perspectives.

Another fun thing about this one is that we get to see things through a newer characters perspective as well. Knox is Seth and Kendra’s cousin. He and Seth seem to be cut from a similar cloth. They are both more curious than they should be about everything. And they both get into trouble because of it.

I loved the fantasy of this one. The way the author describes things like things like the feast with the dragons made it easy for me to picture it in my mind. And there are so many fun and clever things in this one.

If you’re a lover of middle grade books, fantasy stories, or dragons, you will love this book and the whole series.

Must read for fans of the series. Don't start with this one though, it's the second book in the second series. Recommended to fantasy fans, grades 4 & up.
