The Song of the Quarkbeast by Jasper Fforde (The Last Dragonslayer 2) has Jennifer and the wizards of Kazam returning!  With Big Magic being unleashed in the last book, there’s more magic around, and King Snodd IV wants to be the one in control of it!

Dragon Consultant by Mell Eight is a fantasy novel, where Dane is a supernatural consultant, who is called in by the FAA for dragons in the airspace!  He turns up and finds dragon kits (young dragons) around a sick adult dragon, called Mercury.  

Dane takes Mercury and the kits home after he hears the story of why they’re together, and promises to look into it.

This is a quick read, but enjoyable, with fun characters, government coverups, and a love story.

Dragon Consultant was published on 20th April 2020 and is available from Amazon and Bookshop.org (books 1-3 of the series).

The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde (The Last Dragonslayer 1) is set in a world where magic and dragons are real, but magic is fading away.  Jennifer Strange is a foundling, in charge of Kazam, an employment agency for wizards.

But something big is coming, and there are visions happening about the death of the last dragon.

This is a funny books, with an ensemble cast, who are a mix of wizards and others.  I really enjoyed the story, which has twists and surprises.

My review:?????

The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (The Invisible Library 2) has Irene and Kai back again, along with Vale, the great detective of the world they have made their home.  We discovered that Kai is actually a dragon prince in the last book, and dragons love order.  They influence the worlds they are on to be order.  There is also the fae, who love chaos, and so they influence the worlds they are on in this way.  The two sides do not get on.

When Kai is kidnapped, this could cause a war!  Irene has to rescue Kai, and survive the chaos of the world that he’s been taken to.  She’s going to need all of her spy skills!

This is a series of books that I have loved reading, with each one adding more to the worlds!  We get to see more about the fae and the dragons in this book, and it’s felt very rich in characters and settings!

The Masked City was published on 3rd December 2015 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin is a fantasy book where five New Yorkers have to come together to protect their city as they become the city.

They have to protect it against another thing that wants to destroy New York as it has destroyed other cities. 

You get a tour of New York, and characteristics of different districts within New York, all with our heroes being under threat.

I really enjoyed this story.  It’s fast paced, funny, sad and well written!  This is the first in a trilogy, so I’m looking forward to the next one!

The City We Became was published on 29th July 2021 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
