This one seemed like a big solo mission. Typically we’re following Eric’s pov but it still feels like he’s on a team. This book just seemed like he really needed to step into the hero role and be center stage
It also took me a WHILE to get into. And i was still confused. This seemed a lot more magical than normal. There wasn’t really a sense of how things were happening
- Eric is desperate to get back to droon to find out who comes from the future - Met khan’s family! - Keeah is looking for a charm to find her parents - Who is dora…??? - Found jabarr loo. With a warning message - Eric is sold to a prince - Last person to play the instrument was banished - Pesh. The word form the chant. And a world for salamandra. Eric can’t stop thinking about it - max, the king, and queen are trapped in medallions?? - Beasts are afraid of the day - Umberto (the king guy) soaked up goll’s evil magic - Make fake medallions so make it appear they are under umberto’s control - dora is salamandra! - eric has the power to defeat the rat king. She sends him back in time - galen was flamky - the person trapped at the top of the pole - Erik lost his powers!

I just found this randomly on my book shelf, and it’s actually VERY good. I was a little confused at first, but thats because it was the 30th book in the series. If you are a younger reader I 100% recommend this book it was amazing .
I love that there’s no shortage of bad guys in Droon. But I also love that no character is 100% good or 100% bad just like in real life. Another good adventure in Droon.
I've decided to read The Secrets of Droon series entirely for Christmas since i've been feeling a bit nostalgic. I want to be able to live a bit of the magic of being a kid and what beeter to help than this incredible series. I know that this series is for young kids but i feel it will still be great after all these years. A mysterious adventure with lots of twists and suspense. We have a new villain in this book and perhaps a new ally. We journey in this book the mysterious land of Jabar-Loo, unheard of before in the series. But I still think that Jabar Loo remains a mystery still even after the book finishes and I would definitely like to visit it again. This is a good book that introduces us to new things that will happen in the next books.
