C is for Chill

I’m doing folklore and book review posts to reach and please a larger audience. Previous years have shown select interest in both and to minimise blogging throughout the year, I’m focusing my efforts on April.

Focusing on an A to Z of my TBR (to be read) list, each letter will have books starting with that letter on my list, a book I’ve read and reviewed (with the review!) and one of my books matching the letter with a link about more info about the book.

I chose the books this year quite randomly from my Goodreads Want to Read page. Some are quite creatively added to letters.

If you’d rather check out my folklore post for today, go here.

You can read reviews for from previous years for this letter here and here, and my year-end reviews here, here, here and, most recently, here.

My TBR

I just love dragons, so I devoured this dragon series with its versatile cast of dragons in quick order. Yes, it’s meant for seven-year-olds, but my inner child loved them no matter my chronological age – and that makes for a good children’s book. (Not all the books have been read yet, as some still need to be published! I’ll add the reviews once I’ve read them, too.)

My Review

“The king does not always think about what dragons want” is a good summation of the king in this book. It’s quite a simple, yet engaging, story that imparts good life-lessons. The illustration of Worm glowing in the tunnel – even in black and white – is quite impressive and my favourite in this book. The connection between Drake and Worm is so cute – much like the connection one would have with a beloved dog.

Check it out on Goodreads.

My Review

A dragon gets sick and potions don’t work to heal her. Worm, a dragon who can’t fly, has special powers and takes her – and the young dragon masters – to the cure of the Sun Dragon’s disease.

I love dragons! This is an excellent story full of dragons with different abilities.

I can’t wait to read the entire series! I know, just reading for my inner-child. This book is appropriate for young readers (7-9 years), though I think that’s more of a read-alone thing. If read aloud, I think it is more like 4-6.

My Review

The dragon illustrations are so cute – especially their expressions. Shu has quite an amazing power that is almost as good as Worm’s. It’s life-lesson is a bit overshadowed by the magic, but it is there. Some of the sentences and transitions felt a bit staccato, without the flow of the first book. Still good reading, though.

My Review

Petra didn’t make a good first impression – who doesn’t want to spend time with their cute new dragon? But as the story progresses, it is clear that she’s afraid and homesick – teaching the children about not judging others based on what they would do themselves. Good life-lessons along with an action-packed story. Great illustrations.

My Review

Flight of the Moon Dragon

I like the colour of Wati’s moonlight: a rainbow of blue, black and purple. And the way the baby dragon came to be is so cute. I liked how all the dragons had to work together in the pyramid, using their powers and that their dragon masters had to work out the clues.

My Review

Love the colours on the cover. Unfortunately, there are some typos (e.g. “color” instead of “collar” on p22). It’s so sweet when Worm says that Drake is his home. They have the kind of bond that we all share with our beloved animals. Griffith keeping secrets from the dragon masters has now blown up in his face – and I’m sure that the following books will work on the resolution and the rest of the lesson.

My Review

Of course there had to be a giant spider… Sigh. A good story, but I could have done with a warning about the spider. I liked the Rainbow Dragon, even if her story doesn’t have much to do with the overarching tale of Maldred vs the Dragon Masters.
