In the first book of a new series by the bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon, the warring worlds of Wizards and Warriors collide in a thrilling and enchanting adventure.
Once there were Wizards, who were Magic, and Warriors, who were not. But Xar, son of the King of Wizards, can't cast a single spell. And Wish, daughter of the Warrior Queen, has a banned magical object of her own. When they collide in the wildwood, on the trail of a deadly witch, it's the start of a grand adventure that just might change the fabric of their worlds.
With Cressida Cowell's trademark wit, and the same stunning combination of action, adventure, heart, humor, and incredible artwork that made How to Train Your Dragon a beloved bestselling franchise, The Wizards of Once will transport and bewitch readers.
Why did I add The Wizards of Once to my bookshelf?
I have owned a copy of this audiobook for almost 7 years, but haven’t worked it into my reading schedule. I am trying to listen to more audiobooks again, so hopefully, I can get to it soon, since it is a short one. The children’s area of our library is a very busy place, so it would be good to try to read more books in that age range, so I can recommend them to patrons.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
I’ve been meaning to read this for ages too. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard of this one before.
Sounds cute and fun. 😀
I should start doing this. I’ve got so many books on my bookshelves unread.
I don’t read children’s books. But the narrator is David Tennant which seems like a plus.
