I'm glad Cressida had the decency to note at the beginning of the book that this has no relation to real-life history because it really doesn't. It was a little difficult to assimilate this at first, as every little thing we think we know about Vikings but is wrong is right here in this book.

Along the way, he'll have to battle the Berserks, dodge Scarers, and save Fishlegs from being fed to the Beast, all while being hunted down by an old enemy with a dark secret about the mysterious Lost Throne. With Toothless by his side, and time to stage his rescue running out, what's a Hero to do? The book is good fun but a touch too silly for there to be any real emotional connection with the characters - always a minus for me. It has some clever bits, some funny bits, and Celyn and me certainly didn't waste our time reading it. A solid 3* for fun. I would rate the film more highly, and that's a rarity for me.
