David McK (3731 KP) rated The Loki Sword (Fireborn #3) in Books

Sep 18, 2022

I'm not sure why, but for some reason I haven't really connected with Angus Donald's 'Fire Born' novels, finding them to be the weakest of his three series that I have read (The Outlaw Chronicles and the Holcroft Blood series).

I don't know why that is; it's just one of those things.

However, I'll still read these novels, just not be in as much of a rush to do so as with the others.

This is the third in his FireBorn series (after both The Last Berserker: An action-packed Viking adventure and The Saxon Wolf: A Viking epic of berserkers and battle) and is also, for my money, the best of those three novels. That may be because of the nature of this - a band of travellers setting out on a quest, leading to a battle and a return home, with the author himself admitting the influence of the works of JRR Tolkien on this particular entry.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2506 KP) rated How to Train Your Dragon: Book 1 in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III has to train a baby dragon to obey his commands in order to avoid being cast out of his Viking tribe. But can he do it? I enjoyed the movie, so I was looking forward to the book. Unfortunately, I just found it average with underdeveloped characters. And Toothless, the dragon, was especially annoying.
