A fabulously absorbing sequel to ‘Dreamwalker’ and a gloriously tantalising world to visit. The timescale of the dragon’s fall from grace and the rise of the comparatively short-lived humans is quite mesmerising and effectively highlights their differences. The author cleverly humanises Benfro’s actions and feelings, it’s easy to empathise yet also easy to forget he has scales but when the dragon element is focused on, it increases the dramatic intensity.
The adventures undertaken by Benfro and Errol increase in both danger and fear factor and as the chapters skip between the two characters, you are at times left hanging, desperate to know what happens next. The enthralling ending is satisfying yet leaves you impatiently waiting for the next book in the ‘Ballard of Sir Benfro’.
