Audiobook Info:

The How to Train Your Dragon series chronicles the adventures and misadventures of Viking underdog Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his dragon, Toothless. In Book 9, a dragon rebellion is coming--filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them...and only a champion with all of the King's Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few "things" himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword.

My Review:

Like all the other How to Train your Dragon audiobooks I really enjoyed this one. The story was interesting and I like how as the series goes on it gets more mature. Despite its maturity I still think the book is apporiate for all ages. It would be a great listen for any road trip.

Narration:
The Narration was great as always! David Tennant is always so fun to listen too! He is so animated and makes you feel like you are really experiencing the story. I love his narration so much! Its keeps you very interested and engaged with the story!

My final thoughts:

I would highly recommend this audiobook!
