I am having a hard time typing up a review for this book. It
was just so good that it’s hard to put my finger one what I loved about it.
I really liked how it focused on Snotlout. The entire story you are wondering which side
Snotlout is going to choose and how Hiccup will deal with Snotlout’s
decisions. You get to get inside
Snotlout’s mind a little more in this so you can really see where he is coming
from and why he is struggling to pick the right side. It was really very well
done.
I can’t believe that the final two books happen within a 48
hour period. It just seems like so much to cover! But it means that it will be fast
paced. Hiccup fails a lot in this book –
but you keep cheering for him and feel bad for all his failures. But it is
those failures that makes him such a good hero as he keeps persevering.
Some things worked out really well for him tho, and it was
humorous. Camicazi and Fishlegs had to work together in this book and it was
utterly humorous. I absolutely love Camicazi – her bravery and loyalty make her
lovable and then her strength and wisdom helps them move through this book. I
love that she never loses faith in Hiccup.
Fishlegs’ new dragon is pretty awesome too!
Snotlout gives a really long speech in this book at the end when he is interacting with Hiccup. You really learn more about where Snotlout is coming from and you can see the change in his heart. It's the first time you really can connect with him.
The ending of the book is pretty grim. There is a death
which is one of the most impactful deaths I’ve ever read. I expected a death since they killed off
Stoic in the second movie…but the way it happened was so well done. This death
also has a huge impact on Hiccup. It will definitely help shape him to who he becomes
after this series is over.
