On the first morning of Jonah Drake’s summer holiday on the Welsh Borders, an enormous dog attacks him, and then weird creatures appear. An old legend of the area comes true and the last Great Dragon of Wales wakes from beneath the Radnor Forest. The people of the valley discover that terrifying Night Creatures want to take over the modern world. Only dragon-fire can destroy them – and Jonah finds that he is the only person who can control the Great Dragon.
I really liked this book, more than I thought I would to be honest! I loved that it was based in wales and Hereford and what I really loved was having been to Hereford as it named the streets the events took place in my head I could really follow it. 4.5/5
I’d like to thank the publisher for sending me a copy of this book through First Reads. I think children interested in fantasy will enjoy this book - it has some very descriptive scenes (but unfortunately a few holes in the story - although children seem not to notice them the same as adults do). I found the setting believable, the main characters were well developed and it was an interesting concept/storyline.
First of all I won this book via Goodreads First Reads.
I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting story and concept and even more interesting after finding out how the story is based on truth! I would recommend it to children and adults who are interested in fantasy. I also liked the Welsh setting which I thought was unusual.
