Blown away by magical …writing ;-) I‘ve just re-read this book, after a couple of years, and had so much fun - again! In theory, Conrad Clarke is not a person I have much in common with, not being a pilot or armed and dangerous. Stumbling together with him into the literal and metaphorical dark and discovering his world was just as great as the first time though. Looking forward to (re-)discover the sequels.

My Thoughts:
I've been looking forward to this book because, hey... dragons!

In book 1, The 13th Witch, there was a mention of the Invisible College. In this book, we are taken inside Hogwarts. But, the Dean is a highfalutin Oracle. Definitely not Dumbledore. At all!

Here also I can see the distinct British culture of delineating people between a naff and somebody posh. I wonder if the author is racist?... I don't mean that in a bad way. Some people are just brought up in certain ways. I am not going to take that against them.

I'm not white, just in case you are wondering.

So, in this story we encounter one egg. The title, as well as the narrative along the way, indicated more eggs, i.e., 11 more dragon eggs. So, the question is, where are they?? Would we see more dragons in this series?

I like Ciaran Saward's attempts at Welsh accents! Especially at the start of Harry Evans' first few lines. It almost sound authentic! I don't speak Welsh, but I live in Wales.

Story telling quality = 4.5

My Thoughts:
When I bought this book I was thinking, "what the fluff is that duck doing in the cover art?!?"... it made sense in the end.

What I wanted to know is, what did His Worship left Conrad? Other than the Badge of Office itself. There were a few things in that chip... Yeah, curiosity killed the cat. Good thing I am not a cat! That was not answered in this book though, but I am hoping that it will be in subsequent books.

If it was Lt. Eve Dallas of the In Death series by JD Robb, Augusta would be charged with accessory to murder. I know the Cloister Court is the magickal court and their rules could be different. But, howay, man! Augusta and everybody involved in the killing is not "did not do anything wrong"!

As usual, the story telling quality is superb! Not as much holes in the plot this time! Kudos to the author! And that I am now a firm rabid fan!
