Audio narrator is great. Story is enjoyable. I struggle with the animal cruelty and violence aspect. I’ll try the next one but if it continues I might have to call it quits unfortunately. Also lots of boy humor. 

Plot: Hiccup with his dragon learn how to be a pirate. There’s hidden treasure and sword fighting and learning more about dragons. 

Overall Rating: 4.25/5

 The saga truly begins! Already the stakes are higher, and now we have the series’ archnemesis prowling around.

Honestly, not a bad follow-up to the first book! I still think the movies are generally better in terms of the story and message, but I liked the adventures in this one. They're stranded on an island, and get in considerably dangerous situations. It's still a fun story, and I still thoroughly enjoy David Tennant's narration!
