Book Summary
Who will win the battle between Dragons and Giants?
As the war with the dragons
intensifies, all eyes are turning to Titan Valley for help. A dragon sanctuary
unlike any of the others, this one is home to enslaved dragons ruled by the
powerful Giant Queen, one of the five monarchs of the magical world. In addition,
it houses the arena for the Titan Games, a series of gladiator-style battles
presided over by none other than Humbuggle, the demon who stole Seth’s
memories!
Seth is seeking for his memories. Kendra is seeking for Seth. And everyone is seeking to stop the dragons from taking over the world—everyone but Ronodin, the dark unicorn, who has his own devious agenda. In the monstrous battle between giants and dragons, who wins? In the race to retrieve a magical talisman that could help win the war, can Kendra trust Seth? Will they find the answers they desperately need in a realm of trolls and titans? Or are more betrayals imminent?

My Review
Dragonwatch: Champion of the Titan Games (Book #4) picks up right where book three ended. This installment in the Dragonwatch series revolves a lot around the character of Seth and his journey to retrieve his memories. Of course, he finds himself in many hard and scary situations that somehow, he finds his way out of with the help of his friends or people/creatures he meets. Overall Seth has the greatest transformation in his journey to find his true self.
Kendra is back again with her fairy-gifts that help in her quest to help the giants. They need to maintain the hold of the last standing sanctuary against the horde of Dragons led by Celebrant. I only wish that there had been more about Bracken in this book. I hope there is more about the fairy Kingdom and I won’t say more without giving spoilers.
Of course, with all of the Fablehaven and Dragonwatch books there is a lot of action, magic, and complex details that keep the storyline moving at a screamin’ pace. This was especially true in the last quarter of the book. I loved everything that took place in the Dragon Temple.
The next book will be the fifth and last book in the series. I can’t wait to see how Seth, Kendra, their cousins, Tanu, Warren, Raxtus, and Merrick work together to bring peace back to the world by finally defeating the Dragon King Celebrant. At least I hope that’s what will happen! Don’t miss out on reading Dragonwatch: Champion of the Titan Games, but make sure that you’ve read books 1-3 in the Dragonwatch series first.
