How to Train Your Dragon book 5
Libby audiobook 4 hours
Read by: David Tennant
Published: 2013
Genre: Children's fantasy
Again, I enjoyed the story. Again, it was hard to hear at times with the volume being variable and me driving in my car. I love Tennant's vocal work, but I kind of want to read these in print.
Hiccup discovers that there are Exterminator Dragons ready to hatch as a volcano is going to erupt. There's only one way to stop the complete destruction, but his father just won't listen.
I keep forgetting that in the print books, Hiccup's mom is still alive (though always away on quests). In the movie, she was killed by a dragon. Interesting differences.
I liked the new character Humungously Hotshot the Hero . . . and his back story. I mostly love when Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Camicazi go adventuring together. Toothless is both irritatingly reckless and actually heroic (again).
