Annotation:
Seven hundred years ago the dragons were exiled from the fairy world of Oth because they killed humans. Now the Waytrees, the only bridges between the worlds of Oth and Noor, are dying. Hanna and Miles Ferrell are asked to help the dragons save the Waytrees and both worlds. Recommended for ages 12+ due to some scenes of graphic violence. |

Book talk:
In The Beast of Noor Miles and Hanna Ferrell battled the Shriker and
saved Enness Isle from a terrible curse but now something else is threatening the world of Noor. Children
are being swept away by magic winds, the magic Waytrees are dying, and dragons
are battling man. Can these two heroes save the day, and their world, again?
Book Review:
Carey did a wonderful job creating
an entirely new world in The Beast of
Noor and carried it through in The
Dragons of Noor. While the previous
book spent a fair amount of time split between the main characters, The Dragons of Noor is more of Hanna’s
story than anyone else’s. Although Hanna
is an utterly good heroine she is still a believable character with doubts and
quirks and Miles is still featured enough for anyone who likes their heroes flawed.
I’d recommend The Dragons of Noor to anyone 12+ who loves fantasies, quests, or
dragons. There are a few scenes of
violence which are few and far between but can get a little bit graphic for those
out there who are squeamish. Although The Dragons of Noor was written as a sequel
to The Beast of Noor, it can be read
as a stand-alone book.
