Dragonwatch: Return of the Dragon Slayers Review

-

 For this review I will be focusing on Dragonwatch: Return of the Dragon Slayers by Brandon Mull. This is the fifth book in the Dragonwatch series and the series is the second in the Fablehaven universe. This book ties together all the loose ends throughout the this second series and keeps you on your toes through the whole thing. 


This book was released on Tuesday, October 26, only a couple days ago, to which I got the book and couldn't put it down. I have finished it and I will say it is EXCELLENT. I loved this book and thought it was so, so good.

Brandon Mull is a great writer. The books are meant for a younger audience, at Indigo you will find these in the Fiction 9-12 section, but similar to books like Harry Potter, the writing is so well done that adults would have no problem getting into this book. He uses great descriptions, well shaped dialogue and loveable characters in all his series and I was happy to see them to the end of their ten book journey.

In this book I liked how all the loose strings you worried about through the whole series are tied up and resolved. I like how they get the happy ending they deserve without too many losses. Although I will say the characters that were lost were sad and he did an excellent job of writing it out. The only thing that didn't get resolved that I wish did was about Tess, and her ability to see fairies and all that. Maybe it did, though, and I missed it.

I think Kendra and Seth, the two main characters are likeable, and relatable. Unlike Alice from my previous review, they are not whiny, and if there is something to whine about they do something about it. They never give up and they keep fighting even when stuff sucks or seems impossible. That's the kind of characters I want to read about. But I will admit that their cousin, Knox, is really annoying. The kind of way that Scrappy Doo's constant need to be tough is annoying, if you know what I mean. 

This book is comfortable in the same way Harry Potter or Percy Jackson is. You get transported into this elaborate world of magic and you get lost in it. Once you're in, it's hard to put the book down. It's the kind of book that is so good you forget you're even reading. 

I think everyone should read this book and if you haven't read the others, you should definitely read those. This book is only available as an ebook in Canada, on Kobo, while the other books are available as paperbacks.

Read and Enjoy!

  Hello Everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I wanted to announce the release of my newest book, She Is !  Here is the description: “  This is a collection of short stories and poems that I have worked on over the years. This collection has allowed me to express my thoughts and feelings onto paper, and has allowed me to grow as a writer. Focusing greatly on romance and love,  She Is  shows the reader the ups and downs of falling in love with someone. The different styles and formats of writing that occur throughout the book allow for the reader to be apart of not only short stories, but personal essays, and poems, too.  She Is  has been described as "emotional" and "raw" and as "putting everything on the page."

Ophelians Discussion Questions/Writing Prompts

  Hello! I wrote up some discussion questions for my novel, Ophelians , and I thought that they could be useful to teachers or readers who just want to do some more thinking about the book. I find discussion questions/writing prompts are useful because they allow you to think deeper and pull apart certain aspects of the book. As well discussing literature is one of the best parts about reading a good book! You can discuss these aloud in a group, or even write them out as a writing prompt.  I hope you find these useful! Comment below if you like them! When Savanna has her powers reinstated, she seems to become a different person. Do we think power can really change people? Or are they still who they were to begin with underneath the power? Family is very important to Savanna, but her family is not just people who are related to her biologically. Do you think friends can be family? Why or why not? Savanna is terrified of the world knowing who she really is because she thinks that they ar
