Evann, having survived meeting dragons and becoming a wizard, is in a tough situation. He has no idea how to handle the spells he’s learned. So he’s come to the city of Morshton to find a wizard to teach him. He’s taken on by Quinton, reputed to be the best wizard in the city, who tells Evann he's in much deeper trouble than he realizes. He’s not supposed to have these spells at all. They could burn his mind out.

Meanwhile, Evann’s friend Rufous, the new Solon of the dragons, finds himself on the verge of a war with the goblins, who have accused a dragon of stealing some of their magic weapons. In the course of his search for the supposedly guilty dragon, he learns some of the history involved and begins to suspect there's more going on than the goblins had told him.

Evann’s training progresses, despite some frightening episodes, as does Rufous’ search. But when the search finally uncovers the lair of the mysterious dragon, Rufous finds he has come into a trap. Meanwhile, Evann witnesses a triple murder which seems to have been committed by a goblin—and a spell marker painted on a wall in the victims’ blood.

The fate of the dragon and his apprentice are welded together again. They’ll need each other just to survive, much less triumph against their enemies.

A Wizard's apprentice carrying a garden spade. What is not to like?

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Sequel to The Dragon's Boy. I read them back to back (quibble, they are a bit short). There will apparently be more in the series, and I will probably buy it (best endorsement I can think of.)

Author David Carrico is a good story teller. Writes with good fun and humor, but within the story line. There is some originality in the writing also, such as a garden spade as a wizard staff with a mind of its own. It is not just about the young boy, who is revealed as budding wizard (surprise, surprise.) A significant part of the story is told from the dragon's point of view. Quibble - the dragons think a little too much like humans - I got over it.

A good release from the worries of Covid and crazy politicians.

Evann becomes a wizard's apprentice and Rufous begins his Solon duties

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Evann, at the end of book one, was ready to journey to the nearest city to find a wizard that might accept him as an apprentice. So, book two involved Evann learning the fundamentals of magic and finding out that most apprentices spend years training to be a wizard.

Rufous, at the end of book one, is settling into his duties as Solon of the dragons. As the current most powerful dragon, The Solon settles disputes and protects dragons from their enemies (much like any other ruler does).

I really enjoyed the co-equal POV approach, especially as the two alternated throughout the book.

Can't wait for the third and final book in this trilogy!

Less Enjoyable Than Book One And A Very Poor Value.

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Split between Rufous the dragon and our young wizard I found this book to be much less interesting in content and storytelling.
Evann the wizardling is given short shift and is at most a support character in this book.
NOT WHAT I BOUGHT THE BOOK TO READ!
At only 178 pages for a whopping $4.99 this is a VERY poor value.
Not Recommended unless you have money to throw away.

Sets up the next book

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020

This book was great continuation from the previous. Evann trains while Rufous plays detective. The magic mechanics were really interesting. My only complaint is that this book reads like the first half of a longer book. I'm hoping the next book has more action and explains things more.

A good read

Loved the story. Great character development and world building. The story line has a brisk pace that had me finishing the book in one long reading. Well done David, looking forward to the next book.

Short story instead of book.

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story line is entertaining. Although I found the writing style a little juvenile, I thought overall the book was a good read. My biggest complaint is the length (and reading value) of the book. I rate this as a short story with just over 170 pages. I rather feel a little cheated. If the author is going to try to hook me with a good storyline and sell short stories as books. I will have to reconsider if I will continue with the series.

A great right of passage read.

A clever and fun book to read. The two lead characters are well formed and easy to cheer on. And never has an author come up with a better wizard’s staff / tool/ weapon! I look forward to the next chapter...
