The King's Watch Needs You... Because there's a Dragon on the loose. Conrad Clarke is ready to claim his reward. He's saved the girl, so surely he can rest on his laurels? Just a bit? Not a chance. First, he has to pass a new test. A magickal test. And then there's a missing Dragon's egg to investigate... Even with a new partner, Conrad is soon in deep trouble. Deep Dragon-shaped trouble. It's time to use his secret weapons: charm and humour. Armed with them, who needs a fire-resistance spell? Dragons? Bring them on... Treat yourself to another of Conrad's adventures in the mad world of magick and get ready for the ride. It's going to be a hot one...… (meer)

My Thoughts:
I've been looking forward to this book because, hey... dragons!

In book 1, The 13th Witch, there was a mention of the Invisible College. In this book, we are taken inside Hogwarts. But, the Dean is a highfalutin Oracle. Definitely not Dumbledore. At all!

Here also I can see the distinct British culture of delineating people between a naff and somebody posh. I wonder if the author is racist?... I don't mean that in a bad way. Some people are just brought up in certain ways. I am not going to take that against them.

I'm not white, just in case you are wondering.

So, in this story we encounter one egg. The title, as well as the narrative along the way, indicated more eggs, i.e., 11 more dragon eggs. So, the question is, where are they?? Would we see more dragons in this series?

I like Ciaran Saward's attempts at Welsh accents! Especially at the start of Harry Evans' first few lines. It almost sound authentic! I don't speak Welsh, but I live in Wales.


Empirical Evaluation:
Story telling quality = 4.5
Character development = 4
Story itself = 4.5
Writing Style = 5
