This is a definite action/adventure book for ages 8-9. I would without a doubt give this five stars. Beware the darkness of dragons, — Beware the darkness inside of dragons such as Darkstalker, Ex-Queen Scarlet, Sora, Icicle, and Flame. This could also be the huge 'darkness of dragons' flying over the sky to the lost city of night from the rainforest as described in the books. I enjoyed the first book in this series, A Darkening of Dragons, but I enjoyed the sequel even more. I found myself sneaking off to keep reading as the action was full on throughout. I loved that the book included a recap from the last book and think all series should have these since sometimes it’s been awhile since you’ve read the last.Patch, our leading guys was wonderful. He always would put his best foot forward to help those around him and would go to any length to help his friends and it was delightful. And I can’t get over the friendship that he and Wren share, its sweet, innocent and I put want to put them in bubble wrap and protect them. Adorable! Abilities: can breathe underwater, see in the dark, create huge waves with one splash of their powerful tails; excellent swimmers We were supposed to meet by the caravan gate before midnight,” Palm said. “We were going to go west, or maybe south, and find a small oasis where we could live in peace, just like you did.” During the final confrontation with Darkstalker, Moon told him about her vision, and Foeslayer gave him a strawberry Kinkajou enchanted using the final scraps of Darkstalker's scroll stolen from Chameleon. Darkstalker angrily ate the strawberry, thinking it was harmless, then began shrinking, leading to Peacemaker's first direct appearance. When the transformation was complete, the little dragonet was shown to be studying his talons, confused and hungry.

Can I start gushing over the characters yet? Wow I loved them all. Bright. Unique. Fine. Beautiful. Classical. Gahhh I loved them!!! On top of that the characters are quite easy to like. From the main trio to all the side characters, they are all unique and very vivid. I loved how they interacted with each other and how characters were not always as they were presented and therefore very surprising. For a middle grade they were quite layered even and complicated, with flaws and strengths and mistakes they make and learn from.We follow our heroes as they try to defeat the Hamelin Piper and his dastardly plot… as they make discoveries about themselves and each other and have to make difficult and dangerous choices which change everything… A bond develops between these three and they set off on a quest to reverse Wren’s curse, fulfil Barver’s mothers dying wish and help Patch avoid incarceration. With a Man in the Iron Mask-style twist to the tale, they inadvertently become the only three able to face, and ultimately stop, the Hamelyn piper’s evil plan to create a piper army. With so many unanswered questions and the piper of Hamelyn still on the loose, my only disappointment is having to wait for the second novel to be published. stars to this glorious middle grade book. It has magical questing (yes, again, I really do love a quest!), a dracogriff, the pied piper of Hamelyn, a cursed girl, and a misguided but brave boy. I mean what’s not to love? Patch with two new friends explore dragons, magical substances and evil villains, the novel is mixed with dark magic, dragons and music and it really is a great mix which you'd love to read it! Every detail has its own magic and it's very well connected!
