Review of the German edition – English translation
My Opinion:
The blurb is very detailed and provides an excellent summary of the story, so I won’t go further into the plot here. The author takes us to Skaiyles, a world where magic and dragons still exist. This is the story of Rob, Mi Lou, and the dragon Fuku, who must embark on a perilous and adventurous journey to save their land.The story drops us right into the action as we get to know the different characters. There’s Rob, a stable boy chosen by the dragon Fuku Riu to become his Dragon Mage. Then there’s Mi Lou, who comes from our world — the year 2055. Their fates are intertwined, and together, they must face their destiny.
Each of the three has a distinct personality:
– Fuku is cheeky and always up to mischief.
– Rob is kind, hardworking, honest, and just a bit naïve and insecure. As a foundling, his true identity remains a mystery — though readers are given some clues early on.
– Mi Lou is a confident young woman who had no idea this other world even existed.Together, they form an entertaining team that readers will enjoy following on their adventures.
There’s no romance in the book, although I got the impression that Rob might have a crush on Mi Lou. We’ll see if something develops in later volumes.
All in all, this book receives a strong reading recommendation from me — with full marks!
