* I got this book for review of the publisher for my honest thoughts*
I thought this was a great follow up to the first book in this series. I loved the adventure in this story and also how the storyline expanded the world. I just found this to a fast pace adventure story and think younger readers will fly throughout. I think the many illustrations will also increase the joy for this series. I really loved the dynamic between the professor and the kids in this novel. I really want to keep on reading this series. It was a def a super fun adventure series with some history tossed in!

This book features a nutty professor-type who meets and finally is forced to acknowledge he trained his arch nemesis.

Second book in this series, and my review of book #1 pretty much applies to book #2 - average fare, pretty forgettable with I am sure a group of people who will be fans of it, whilst others will move on to other things.

I received a digital review copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Another fun adventure! I really enjoyed the inclusion of research/explanation of the Basque people and their language. The first book felt a little more fantastical, though, as the dragons in this one are primarily only spoken about and don't actually appear until the very end of the book. I would love to read more about the magical creatures in future books!

It was mean spirited and had a cruel humor.
