My review

 

Brave the Storm, book 4 in the Sky Dragon series, is a fast paced adventure story.

Dot is an avid reader of Ahn Do's Wolf Girl series and she loves reading about intelligent, fearless girls.

Brave the Storm was her first Sky Dragon book and she really enjoyed Amber's courageousness. 

 

In book 4 Amber has lost her powers and goes to the Sennam rainforest with Irene to rest and recuperate. Although there is not much resting when a large corporation arrives to mine for diamonds and destroy the rainforest running the peaceful villagers, who are protecting the area, out of their homes.

 

Brave the Storm has plenty of action and danger to keep the reader immersed. We did get lost with some areas of the plot having not read the previous books.

Dot is now keen to read the first three books in this series.

 

Our rating 4 / 5  ⭐⭐⭐⭐
