Book Two: Sky (The Dragon Prince #2) (2)

Callum and Ezran mission has kept them on the run. Not only do they have to return the newly hatched Dragon Prince - Zym - to his mother, they have to avoid the pursuit they know is coming. For they have no doubt that their father's chief advisor, and high court mage, Lord Virin will do whatever it takes to return the Prince to Katolis and his control.What they did NOT expect was that they would be betrayed by those closest to them at a time they needed them the most.And, while the quest continues, there may be other problems facing the five kingdoms as the one secure pass between their safety and the magical land of Xaida is being threatened by those who have every reason to hate humanity more than any.In this, the 2nd book of the official adaption of the Dragon Prince TV series, co-creator Aaron Ehasz and his wife Melanie McGanney Ehasz once more take up the writing chores of changing the amazing visual experience that the TV series undoubtedly is and converting it into a prose novel. Wonderfully, Aaron and Melanie incorporate all the joy and excitement of the animation and couple it with so much more as they fill in the moments between and give even more insight into the characters that we see on the screen. In particular, they have captured the erstwhile Moonshadow Elf Assassin, Rayla, perfectly. Maybe its just me but while I'm reading these passages, I can hear the distinct accents and inflections that are part of the visual characters and what gives the show one of its best features.Another plus to the long form adapted novel is that the authors can dive into the emotions that drive the characters to be who they are. And, while some of those emotions and motivations can at times be confusing on the TV screen, here they are given space to stretch and breathe as they are touched on and shared in detail.As was the first book adaption, this was another true to the heart of the story journey. The only sad thing is that it will be another year before we see the adaption of the 3rd season in prose form.For readers, this is definitely what would be classified as a Juvenile or Young Reader story. 9 to 12 year olds will have no problem reading and understanding the issues of the characters and their challenges. Younger, more advanced readers should be comfortable here as well as the book is a step up for the younger form of "chapter books" being an in actual novel format, but the rhythm of the story as it unfolds should be easy to follow. Along the same lines, middle school to teen readers will enjoy as there are plenty of moments that focus around the older prince Callum as well as several of the other older supporting characters.So? Another good entry in the series and one that could be read and enjoyed even if never having seen the animated show.

Part of a series. Excellent for 12 year old
