Three accidental heroes encounter one legendary villain in an epic dragon-filled adventure just right for young fans of Terry Pratchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, and How to Train Your Dragon!
13-year old piper Patch Brightwater is a boy in disgrace. Thrown in jail for playing a forbidden spell, he is no one's idea of a hero. But then he discovers a deadly truth – the evil Piper of Hamelyn is on the loose.
With the help of Wren, a girl cursed to live as a rat, and Barver, a
fire-breathing dracogriff, Patch must stop the Piper from sparking the biggest
battle of them all.
S.A. Patrick’s debut children’s novel is a vivid retelling of one of the
darkest legends of all time – the Piper of Hamelyn. Combining fairy tale lore
with the very best of modern storytelling and empowerment, A Darkening of
Dragons takes fantasy fans on a journey filled with adventure, magic, and the
delight of finding friends in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of The
Hobbit, Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books, and How to Train Your Dragon.
A Carnegie Medal nominee.
Rating: 5/5
Review:
This book was absolutely amazing! I don't know for sure what I was expecting from it, but it surpassed all expectations.
The characters in this book are amazing. I loved all three of the main characters, although I think Wren is my personal favorite. Patch is a confused sweetheart just trying to avoid a serious punishment and I absolutely love him. Wren is stubborn which says a lot considering she spends a lot of time as a rat. Barver is a dracogriff and I really wish those were real.
The magic in this world is a lot of fun. The way it's woven, at least Patch's magic, through the use of a pipe was creatively amusing. I love it.
The descriptions in this book were amazing. I got goosebumps with the way some of the fights were described. Just stunning!
This is apparently the start to a series and I am already aching for another book. I can't wait to see where else this story goes.
