Dragon Legends by Ava Richardson is the 2nd book in the Return of the Darkening series. The story follows Seb and Thea, who have been chosen by the red dragon Kalax. War is coming, and the newest dragonriders have been integrated into the bulk of the warriors. As the true nature of their adversary becomes apparent, a race begins to find the lost ‘dragon stones’, capable of great magic.

Seb, Thea, and Kalax continue to grow and change. There’s more with Kalax as a stronger presence. Seb has a unique gift that allows him to speak with not just Kalax, but any dragon. Getting more of Kalax’s inner thoughts and beliefs was exciting. The themes of friendship, loyalty, trust and bravery continue here. There are places where the writing stumbled a bit, but overall, Dragon Legends is a tantalizing tale that will tempt any dragon lover. Recommended for fantasy fans.
