The Star Scroll ( The Dragon Prince book 2)
By Melanie Rawn

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

The second book of the "Dragon Prince" trilogy. Rohan and his Sunrunner wife are crowned High Prince and High Princess, and swear to keep the secret of the dragons. But a foe once vanquished by the Sunrunners is growing again, and their only hope lies in the long-lost Star Scroll.



This is one of those books that you start and think itโ€™s never going to end. Then you slip into the lives of every single one of the characters and suddenly you are at the end! This book gives us the next generation set up for book 3. You canโ€™t help but get hooked and excited to see what becomes of the hatchlings as sioned likes to call them! We see great loses and some loses we craved, I now look forward to seeing a old magic revived! Also dragons lots of dragons!

Story: Revenge of the Green Dragons starts as we follow the two young boys that immigrated from China to America and New York City, in a neighbourhood that is run by the Chinese gang known as the Green Dragons.

Recruited at a young age Sonny (Chon) and Steven (Wu) have grown up as part of the Green Dragons under the leadership of Paul (Shum Jr) a businessman that uses the gang to get what he wants. We get to see how the two rise through the ranks in the Green Dragons that even grabs the attention of the FBI.

 

Thoughts on Revenge of the Green Dragons

 

Characters โ€“ Sonny is the quieter of the two friends that gets taken in by the gang, he is the one that would like a life outside the gang which isnโ€™t as easy as it seems, even when he falls in love. Steven was built for the gang, even after he gets seriously injured in the battle between the gangs, he becomes the one that wonโ€™t hesitant to pull the trigger. Paul is the leader of the Green Dragons, a businessman on the outside, that uses his intelligence to make sure he can stay ahead of the game in the gang battle.

Performances โ€“ The performances in this movie are fine, nothing is great or bad, we get to see the different ranges of emotions that the two friends must face during their decisions. We donโ€™t have any of the performances that stand out though.

Story โ€“ The story follows the gangster storylines we have seen before, two young men or in this case boys get recruited to a rising gang to become big players in their gang in a war against another gang, until they step out of line. This time we follow Chinese immigrants in New York and it shows how they would never hold back on anybody of any age or gender. This does give us a brutality in the story, but in the end it is just more of the same.

Action/Crime โ€“ The action is just gun battles and brutality to the people who get in the way of the crimes being committed by the Green Dragons, as we see how they try to stay off the radar while conducting their business

Settings โ€“ New York will always be a great choice for settings for crime movies, this is unlike any other showing us how gangs had neighbourhoods and always want more.


Scene of the Movie โ€“ Put the gun down, it brings a clever kill.

That Moment That Annoyed Me โ€“ It offered nothing new to the genre.

Final Thoughts โ€“ This is a by the book crime movie, it shows the rise of two in a gang and just where they would go onto be in the gang, but otherwise gives us nothing we havenโ€™t seen before.

 

Overall: Been Here Seen This.
