The Dragonwatch series

All you need to know about

DRAGONWATCH

Author : Brandon Mull

Note: The Dragonwatch series is a sequel to the Fablehaven series, and must be read after Fablehaven. Even this summary may have spoilers. 

Its been four months since the Demon Prison was sealed by Kendra and Seth, with the help of the Knights of Dawn, the Fairy queen and her subjects and the Dragons of Wyrmroost. Kendra and Seth have finally settled down, without having to worry about demons, gruesome magical creatures and unanticipated betrayals. Everything has not quite got normal yet, with Seth's debt to the Singing Sister's looming in the distance, and Agad's bargain with the Dragon Monarch, Celebrant the Just. But things are not what they seem. It was the calm before the storm. 
Agad's bargain with Celebrant had ended up with Celebrant being made a co-caretaker of the Wyrmroost Dragon Sanctuary, alongside Agad himself. But a skirmish at the sanctuary of Soaring Cliffs has Agad rushing to help, leaving an opening to the job of the caretaker of one of the most dangerous dragon sanctuaries in the world. 
Which is when things went VERY wrong.
The co-caretaker must be a dragon tamer, and guess who qualified for the job!
Yup, the one and only Sorenson duo.
Finally, after Kendra's apprehension and Seth's over excitement at being asked to take up the job (more like Seth's anxiousness to have more near death experiences), Kendra and Seth are made caretakers of Wyrmroost, alongside Celebrant.
Now, Kendra and Seth must strive for the acceptance and respect of the inhabitants of Blackwell Keep, and strengthen the defenses of the castle and the thresholds of the sanctuary, to protect the outer world from the carnage and destruction the dragons can cause.
But Celebrant has other plans, and schemes to gain ultimate control to release the confines of the dragons by overthrowing all the sanctuaries of the world and wreck havoc. And guess what? His primary targets are the Sorenson siblings.
Will Kendra and Seth be able to win another war with such formidable adversaries? Or will they finally have to accept their defeat? 
Not to mention that the Demon war itself had only been won with the aid of dragons...
The chances are not good, but Kendra and Seth have always been known to have an uncanny knack to beat the odds.

My Comments

The Dragonwatch series is, I can strongly say, one of the best sequel series I have ever read. Usually, sequels tend to not have the touch or perfection the original series had, but Dragonwatch quickly made me dismiss all my apprehensions. The plot was complex and engrossing, and the main antagonist was just as formidable and intimidating as the antagonist of the Fablehaven series. (That's right, I am trying to not reveal too many spoilers, but I suspect I'm fighting a losing battle.) 
The series was just as irresistible as the Fablehaven series, if not more. It was immensely refreshing to see Kendra and Seth once again, and the characters! Kendra is absolutely my role model, with her responsible but fiery personality, and Seth is the ultimate troublemaker, out there to cause mischief, but grows on us as the story goes. The book is filled to the brim with action and suspense, and I must confess, one of the "villains" in the story may or may not be one of my favorite characters, absurd as it sounds. 
The Dragonwatch series is best suited for readers of ages 9 and above, but as I so often say, it largely depends on the reader's choice. And of course, it must be read only after the Fablehaven series, or things will get VERY confusing.

INTRODUCTION

Hello! First off, thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope my entries help all the bookworms out there get their perfect dream book and start a whole new adventure in its pages. As a reader myself, I found it REALLY hard to find the ideal book and immerse myself in it for the next few months. But as soon as it was over, i had always struggled to find another perfect book. It is always a melancholic moment when a book ends, and we are left with the thoughts of the particular story for days before we find another book. Such books are rare to come by and will always be special to us. There are also some lesser known series, which are not as popular and well known as the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series, but are just as amazing. But never fear! In this blog, i will write about the books i am particularly fond of, and all those stories i enjoyed a lot and hope you will too. So when you finish a good book series, and is left to stare at the wall, rethinking the plot and how great

The Pandava Quintet series

  All you need to know about THE PANDAVA QUINTET (THE ARU SHAH SERIES) Author : Roshani Chokshi Aru Shah is a sassy and quirky twelve year old living in Atlanta, Georgia who also happens to be as salty as the Dead Sea. She is also shockingly good at lying, which was what lead to her unleashing a trapped supervillain and almost causing the end of time.  Yup, that went from 'normal' to ' definitely not normal' a little too fast. Let me back up a little. Aru's mom, Krithika Shah, owns a museum. The Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture. As a student of Augustus Day (AKA 'School for the Snobbiest'), to fit in, Aru often stretches the truth to impress her fellow classmates. But living in a museum is un-cool by Middle school standards, and definitely doesn't help Aru to become one with the aristocratic crowd. And it certainly doesn't help that her mother was always away on Museum work and was almost never home. Which was another contributing factor to

All you need to know about WINGS OF FIRE (Arc 1) Author : Tui T Sutherland Ever since the Sandwing tribe queen's demise, the peaceful land of Pyrrhia was ravaged by war among the seven dragon tribes, locked in a never-ending battle over an ancient, lost treasure.

After years of intense training and rules, the dragonets decide to escape the cave and the  expectations piled on them, and travel in search of their families, and finally have the chance to explore the world outside.  But when a successful expedition outside their cave goes awry, the dragonets realize that they have escaped from the fire pan, just to fall headfirst into the fire.  Thus en
