One of the reasons I love travelling is that I have so much time that I can spend reading without feeling guilty about everything else I could have been doing instead. Waiting, sitting around, marking time until my workshop begins … What else can I do?
I loved The Dragon Whisperer; I wanted to know what happened next. And there was the sequel, Flight to Dragon Isle, sitting on the shelf in the library, waiting for me to borrow it.
The Grand Master is intent on treason, but even Quenelda’s father the Earl is not convinced that his childhood friend Hugo could have gone so far astray. Yet, in the fight against the hobgoblins, the Earl comes face to dace with treachery. He knows that Hugo has betrayed the SDS, but before he can make any kind of report, he goes missing and is reported dead.
Quenelda is sure her father is not dead, though. Yet, she and her esquire Root have just a handful of people they can trust – Tangnost the one-eyed dwarf, their friend Quester and the dragons themselves. They need to find the Earl, but it is a race against time. The Grand Master has monopoly over the brimstone mines, and without brimstone, the dragons are getting weaker than ever. Worse, it is likely that the Grand Master will wed the queen and then it will be too late …
Lucinda Hare took me swooping through the Open Sky on this adventure with Quenelda, dragons and battlegriffs. I can’t wait to read the next one!
