Billy Chan never would have imagined a life without his dragon, Spark … In an alternate reality, 5000 years in the future, that’s exactly what’s happened: the evil Dragon of Death has become ruler of Dragon City, humans now live to serve the dragon population, and it’s no different for Billy Chan and his friends.
After losing contact with their own dragons, they’re determined to track them down in this new city, even if it means putting their own lives at risk. But one dragon has turned to the dark side and has no plans to return. With the help of a new clan of dragon friends, can Billy, Dylan, Charlotte, and Ling-Fei undo the Dragon of Death’s villainous work or will she triumph eternally?
Katie and Kevin Tsang are co-writers of the young fiction series’ Sam Wu is Not Afraid and Dragon Realm. Katie also writes YA fiction under the name Katherine Webber. Dragon City is the third adventure in the ROARsome series for 9+ readers! Perfect for fans of magical fantasy, heartfelt friendships, and time travel!
Dragon Legend (book #2) was all about the past, giving readers the necessary history and background for the series. But Dragon City is a whole new ballgame! There’s a sudden switch from travelling back in time in Dragon Legend to 5000 years in the future in Dragon City. But Katie and Kevin Tsang make this jump in time seamless, taking this world we’ve come to know to an entirely new level – again!
I’ll admit, it was tough to see the dragons separated from their owners – especially that one dragon who turns to the dark side. We haven’t seen the dragons in this kind of state before, and it does tug at your heartstrings. But sometimes we must go through the dark to see the light, and the silver lining of lost friends in Dragon City is the new ones they make – both human and dragon.
If you thought the first two books in the series had unexpected twists and turns, then you’ll be delighted with this. It was an epic, twisty rollercoaster ride, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for book #4. At the end of the book, there’s a sneak peek of Dragon Rising, set to be released in March 2022.
