There's a clever little "play within the play" moment where we are reminded that fantastical stories can serve as ways to teach lessons... but while some of the parts of the story that revolve around the God, Wulder, fit beautifully into the tale of self-discovery, I have to admit that by the end of the story I felt like some of the references were a bit bolted-on. I still definitely recommend the book and fully enjoyed it despite this, but beware that you may feel like the religious aspect becomes a bit heavy-handed towards the end. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This book was fantastic. I read her first dragon series (The Dragonkeeper Chronicles) several years ago--which simply made me hungry for more! I was thrilled to find that she has begun another series, related to the first one. This is third third book of her new series. So I wouldn't become confused, I bought copies of "The Vanishing Sculptor" (Renamed "Dragons of Chiril"), and "Dragons of the Valley", the first two books in this new series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them both.
"Dragons of the Watch" is fascinating. Most of it takes place in an ancient city sealed by something akin to an invisible bottle. People can enter, but cannot exit. Ellie and her beloved goat, Tak, unfortunately get lost and end up inside this bewitched city together. Bealomondore, a young servant of the Creator, also ends up trapped in the city. We find out eventually that "maybe" them being trapped together was by purposeful design instead of unwanted happenstance.
The main message I came away with after reading this book is that many times in life, when something happens that we feel is either bad news or just something terrible occurring, it may really be a "blessing in disguise". God can take the absolute worst happenings and turn them around to make incredible good come about because of the unhappy occurrences. (
