Book Review: How to Speak Dragonese


Review:  #649
Title:  How to Speak Dragonese
Series:  How to Train Your Dragon - 3rd book
Author:  Cressida Cowell
Read Before:  no
Comments:  The third book in the series improves upon its predecessors and tells a fairly engrossing story.  You still get the stubbornness of the Vikings and the cruder attempts at humor.  However, Hiccup isn’t portrayed as the most useless character, and Toothless is slightly less worthless.  The Romans has hatched a plan and kidnapped Hiccup and he must find a way to survive and get out of there.  Along the way, a few new dragon species with special abilities are introduced.  The story builds up tension until the climax, leading you to wonder how Hiccup was going to get out of this sticky mess and the way he did it was not disappointing.  It ended on another happy ending and seeming a very final conclusion.
Rating:  6.5/10
