Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. i think this is my favorite in the series so far. there's really a lot more depth being explored - about what it means to be a hero or a villain, about how that happens, about who is strong (or just appears physically strong but isn't strong otherwise), how even the good guys can't always win, and (i think what's coming is also) how something terrible might be coming and maybe even a hero can't save the day for everyone. plus it's a fun adventure to keep the kids totally engaged, with humor and battles and lots of silliness. and even 9 books in, getting better. ( ) A dragon rebellion is coming and the vikings need a champion to be King, but becoming a champion is a perilous task. This is a wonderful children's series and one I enjoy even though I'm slightly above the intended reader age. The characters are quirky and the adventures outlandish and David Tennant is the fantastic narrator that brings it all to life in the audio versions. This is the book where the Dragon Furious returns to start the Dragon Rebellion and attempt to destroy all humans. Hiccup finds the Crown of the Wilderwest, and wins the sword fighting competition to become the King of the Wilderwest. The part where the final battle is with his own father is brilliantly poignant. Just when it looks as though things are working out, it is revealed that Hiccup bears the Slavemark, and he is sent into exile, hunted by the Dragon rebellion, and Alvin the Terrible becomes King of the Tribes of the Wilderwest. It is a very bleak note to end on... My blog post about this book is at this link. Review is for the audio book as read by David Tennant. We jumped in at book 9 having only seen the movies before (book 9 was the only available volume at the library when we needed an audio book), but aside from a few minor plot points I was able to follow along without any troubles. Fast-paced and character building, the book is filled with humor even in the darkest of events. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
"A dragon rebellion is coming-filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tongue twisters, and Vampire Ghoul deaths are attaching Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them...and only a champion with all of the King's Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few "things" himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword."--P. [4] of cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
