I couldn’t help it; I had to get the sequel. This is the second book in the Dragonslayer
series and is just as much fun. There
are slight spoilers ahead for those that haven’t read the first book.
Jennifer is still working at Kazam’s, which has become much
busier since magic had its resurgence, but still has its problems. The biggest being King Snodd and his official
sorcerer the Amazing Blix. These two
have realized the untapped financial possibilities that magic presents and only
need to get rid of Kazam and its sorcerers to do it. Blix challenges Kazam to a bridge-rebuilding
contest for control over the magical houses and he makes sure to incapacitate
all but one of Kazam’s wizards to ensure his victory. Jennifer has to do all she can to win this
contest and defeat the greedy and shortsighted King.
This chapter in the Dragonslayer series is just as
ridiculous and entertaining as the first one, but I expect nothing less from
Fforde. I wish that I had an imagination
as large as his. But I am perfectly
content being a rabid fan and cannot wait for the final part of the series.
