Reviews
I liked how there were dragons and vikings as friends.

BRILLIANT! I think it had great scenes and a brilliant story .I think Hiccup was the best character because of his personality he was very funny and kind ,I also think Toothless was the best dragon because of his hysterical lines in the book and because of his diversity from the other dragons in the book because of his half loving heart and his friendship with Hiccup. I recommend the book to everyone who loves adventures in a fantastical world of dragons and vikings. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books!

I really liked this book because it was fun and had dragons in it. My favourite character was Toothless because although he was naughty and didn’t listen to Hiccup at the beginning, he saved him at the end! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books about dragons and Vikings! I liked the other books in the series too!

It was ok .It was fiction and weird.I would not recommend it for people who like nice and calm stories.

good plot and the main character has some amazing interactions however, as with all the books in this series it relies heavily on one in a thousand chances.
Superintendent Snoopy Peninsula 22.08.2024
I thought this book was alright, I really liked characters like Spineless, but the book didn't give me the 'keep turning the pages ' feeling.
Lady Daffodil Teacup 20.08.2024
I borrowed this book on BorrowBox, as an audio book. I LOVED it. I have listened to 5 of this series so far. I love the narrator (David Tennant) and hearing all about Beurk.
