Battle Dragons
Battle Dragons | Alex London
7 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
In a modern mega-city built around dragons, one boy gets caught up in the world of underground dragon battles and a high-stakes gang war that could tear his family apart. Once, dragons nearly drove themselves to extinction. But in the city of Drakopolis, humans domesticated them centuries ago. Now dragons haul the city's cargo, taxi its bustling people between skyscrapers, and advertise its wares in bright, neon displays. Most famously of all, the dragons battle. Different breeds take to the skies in nighttime bouts between the infamous kins--criminal gangs who rule through violence and intimidation. Abel has always loved dragons, but after a disastrous showing in his dragon rider's exam, he's destined never to fly one himself. All that changes the night his sister appears at his window, entrusting him with a secret...and a stolen dragon. Turns out, his big sister is a dragon thief! Too bad his older brother is a rising star in Drakopolis law enforcement... To protect his friends and his family, Abel must partner with the stolen beast, riding in kin battles and keeping more secrets than a dragon has scales. When everyone wants him fighting on their side, can Abel figure out what's worth fighting for?

I enjoyed reading this story because it is a fun read that contains dragons. Abel wants to fly dragons just like many students I have had experience with. I think it is important to read books children have interest in.

In this book dragons are domesticated by humans. Abel is the main character and expects to fly dragons. Abel's sister shows up to his window with a stolen dragon and is able to fly. Abel has to make the choice of what is worth fighting for.

This is at the top of my did not finish stack. My son wanted me to read it to him at bedtime but kept falling asleep. I think it was way over his head. Other books came along, and this is just sitting there. I rarely delete books from my goodreads, but this one was not for us.

Is this middle grade book as cool & raucous & fun as the title suggests it might be? Yes, yes it is. London knows how to tell a good story and this one about rival gangs and their dragons is a lot of fun. Throw in a family with one kid in law enforcement, one a dragon thief and one who failed his dragon riders exam and you have an excellent recipe for disaster. And did I mention there‘s a stolen dragon too? A solid start to a new series.

This was so much fun! Dragons have been 'tamed' and are used as modes of transportation. Abel finds himself caught between his siblings and rival gangs and must enter a dragon battle to save his family and win the dragons back their freedom. The world is fantastic, I loved the dragon lessons and all of the neat little details. Can't wait for the next one! It was marketed as Fast and the Furious with dragons which it lives up to.
