A Darkness of Dragons (Songs of Magic)

Product Information

This book is the sequel to a Darkness of Dragons which I have reviewed previously. I had high hopes for this book and was delighted that it had the same main characters. Please help me,” Palm begged. “You were right. Of course you were right. I’m sorry I didn’t listen.” Personally, the book was a little on the young side for me. It felt very middle-grade in terms of character development and pace, and my preference is for at least young adult. Having said that, I would still be interested to read the next book in the series. It can’t be much farther, she thought desperately. Of course, the journey never seemed this long when she flew. But she’d been running for half the night and surely the sun had risen hours ago. What if I’m lost? Or what if she moved without telling me? It had been almost a year since her last visit … I love the piper mythology, and think the author did a fantastic job of weaving a known story into something more. Plus I love that it’s one I’ve not seen a retelling of before. 💙

I was able to escape,” she said. “They heard him coming and got distracted, and I bolted. But I know they’re looking for me. Oasis won’t let them stop until they find me.”

I thought this was a great book and would highly recommend it for younger readers. The plot was excellent and had a few twists and turns. A great adventure.

Peacemaker seems to be very fond of Moonwatcher. This may come from the fact that she constantly visits him and treats him kindly. As Foeslayer was mother to Darkstalker in his past life, she now looks after Peacemaker as Hope. Naturally, the two have a strong bond, and Peacemaker seems to amuse Hope quite often, given his silly and sweet personality. Abilities: can survive a long time without water, poison enemies with the tips of their tails like scorpions, bury themselves for camouflage in the desert sand, breathe fire Description: silvery scales like the moon or pale blue like ice; ridged claws to grip the ice; forked blue tongues; tails narrow to a whip-thin endAnd the twists and turns just kept coming; and I am so freaking excited to see where the author takes Patch and his friends to! Patch is a good character without being portrayed as a chosen one or a hero. He takes help as and when required, consults his team and makes mistakes that he continues to repent (and feel guilty) for. But it isn’t fair!” Palm burst out. “Why can’t he fall in love? Why does his whole life have to be wasted just so his mother won’t feel threatened? Other royal families aren’t like this.” She rubbed her eyes angrily. “Besides,” she muttered, “it could be male, and then no one would even care about it.” The second instalment sees the 3 main characters continue their adventures and quests. This time we get to learn more about the hippogriff Barver and meet some new characters including toxic baby dragons, monster-puppies and pirate kings. Definitely a thrilling twist on a classic fairy tale with oodles of adventure, magic and friendship. I read this book in one sitting because I wanted to see where the story went. There were some parts that I expected and some others that I didn't. There was also one part that I thought I saw coming, was misdirected only to find out that I was right the first time. None of which bothered me much.
