Book Review: Dragonwatch

Dragonwatch: A Fablehaven Adventure, Brandon Mull, illustrated by Brandon Dorman, Shadow Mountain, Salt Lake City, UT, 2017.  This is a continuation of the Fablehaven story.  I must admit, Mull keeps the adventures coming and I seem to enjoy them all.  We continue the follow the adventures of Seth and Kendra, brother and sister.  However this time they are facing the dragons, rather than the demons.  The dragons have sensed their increased power after the fall of the demons in Fablehaven.  Now they want their freedom.  However the dragon watchers fear this will lead to similar scenes of days of old when the dragons ruled, and humans huddled in fear.  Kendra and Seth become the caretakers of Wyrmroost, a dragon sanctuary, from which the dragons are not allowed to leave. because together they destroyed a dragon in Fablehaven.  All their skills are tested, and they even have to grow.  In this case Kendra is fairy kind, and Seth dark.  Together they make a formidable team.  They work much better together in this book than the first series.  The change is good to see.
