Wizard #2
Trouble with Dragons
Jason stood in front of the gravestone of Coach Mossberg. The coach had been a mentor and protector to him. His sudden loss effected the whole community. Chills went down Jason’s spine. It was an eerie feeling, like someone was looking at him.
A voice from behind him said, “He’s not here you know.”
Jason turned to see a short, straight backed man standing there.
“Talcott? Is that you? What are you doing here?”
“I’ve come to bring you back.”
Jason shook his head vigorously. “I don’t want to go back.”
The wizard’s face reddened and his eyes flashed with anger. “You are the hero of the land, and the land needs you. You have no choice.”
Jason stepped back. He hadn’t wanted to upset Talcott. He was just speaking the truth.
Taking a deep breath, Talcott relaxed his shoulders. “There are dragons in the land. Coach Mossberg tried to help, but he's been captured by them and now sits behind bars in the dungeon. The evil king is free and sits again on the throne.”
“What happened, I thought the coach was dead?”
“He is very much alive, but you need to save him and slay the dragons.”
“Dragons?” Jason’s thought his heart would burst out of his chest it was beating so hard.
“Fear not, you are the hero. The slayer of the Osgarth.”
“I’m just a high school kid.”
Talcott heaved a large sigh. “I thought you might come willingly this time. It matters not, you will still come.” Then he turned and walked away, leaving Jason alone.
Dejected, Jason walked home. I can’t kill dragons. What am I going to do?
A voice from behind him said, “He’s not here you know.”

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this unbiased, voluntary review.
I listened to the audiobook by Daniel Nicolai.
I would like to note I have not read the first book and cannot say whether this is a good sequel.
I enjoyed this book’s story immensely. I am a huge fan of fantasy books especially ones with dragons. The novel, in particular, had an interesting dynamic of having the characters switch in and out of the two worlds. I enjoyed most of the side characters, and I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story. But, there wasn’t much action and it became somewhat repetitive. It was difficult at first to tell which realm they were in. Other than that, it was wonderful.
Daniel Nicolai did a great job reading. He had distinct voices for the characters which was a joy to listen to. The audio wasn’t the best, but he never missed a beat.
Overall, I would strongly recommend this book to those that want a nice dragon fantasy novel.

Reads like it was written by/for 15 year olds.
This series is not up to Clark Graham's usual standards. Reads like it was written by a Sophomore high school student.
