Goodreads Synopsis | Buy on BookShop
Reviews in Train Your Dragon series: #1 How to Train your Dragon | #2 How to be a Pirate
Hiccup and Fishlegs try to escape Sharkworms when they end up on an enemy ship and rescue a tiny Ziggerastica dragon that now owes them a favor.
Personal Review:
I did not enjoy this one as much as the first two. I guess that's not entirely true. I liked the adventure well enough, but there was something about this one that lost the sparkle for me that the first two had. I can't entirely put my finger on it.
It still had great humor and outlandish characters and will definitely be enjoyed by any and every 12-year-old who loves to read. But I think this one felt like it moved a little slower and the new species of dragons we were introduced to just felt a little random. But, what do I know, I can't even speak dragonese.
Content Warnings:
crude language (a tribe leader called Big-Boobied is the most offensive)
