Available Now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books

REVIEW

Dragon Train Rebellion is book 2 in the Dragon Quest Series. Picking up two years after Dragon Train ( read the review here), where Jaiden learned he could communicate with dragons and help Skye, a blue dragon, recuse her family from captivity and enslavement.

Jaiden had returned home, but tension mounted again between Jaiden and his father, and when Skye returns, telling him the dragons are going to fight for their freedom, Jaiden hops aboard where Sky takes him to where the last remnants of the dragons live.

In the desert landscape they call Septrion, we meet the elder dragons who fought in the Dragon Wars of yore that had led to the state of the dragons today as dragon train pullers. 

But when Skye and Caerulus’ children get abducted somehow by the humans, their battle for freedom gets started sooner than expected. Can Jaiden step up to fight alongside the dragons?

Targeted for YA-Teens I am an adult and absolutely love reading this fantasy adventure series so far. RJ The Story Guy whisks you back effortlessly into his medieval-style world, where humans and dragons exist. RJ writes in a refreshing way making his characters down-to-earth and relatable, especially in our young protagonist Jaiden, who has no clue about being a hero and second-guesses himself constantly but knows right from wrong and is passionate about correcting them.

RJ describes the dragons in majestic glory, from the large “Blues” to the more serpent-like “Golds and Silvers.” giving each a personality and a soul.

If you are looking for a wholesome book for your young pre-teen or have a teen that loves dragons, I highly recommend Dragon Train Rebellion, and don’t forget to read Book 1, Dragon Train, first! 

5 out of 5 Stars!
