A review by marlanareads
Secrets of the Dragon Tomb by Patrick Samphire

3.0

It certainly wasn't what I expected from looking at the cover and I think that's a good thing.

The book was well written, the pacing was excellent, and the characters could have been a bit more fleshed out but this is only the first in what is meant to be a series.

It is certainly a standout middle grade novel and perhaps one of the better ones I've read.

Alas, for me, I think it's only 3.5 out of 5 stars, but I think that just comes down to my personal tastes. The characters were amiable enough and the plot highly original but something just missed the mark for me.

I will, however, keep my eye out for the sequel.
