In this sequel to “Anya and the Dragon,” thirteen-year old Anya is determined to bring her father home from war. She enlists her friend Ivan and the dragon Hakon to help in this fantastical story of adventure and magic. The book keeps a face pace, encountering elves, monsters, and a dangerous underground city. When they meet magical Lena, she turns Hakon into a human which both helps and hurts their quest. The book left me wondering if there will be a third book in the series.
