The Shadow Dragon
Outgrown BEAST QUEST? Enter the world of the Dragon Knights!

With the help of Thea, a feisty girl with magic skills and an uncertain past, and Ignus the Flame Dragon, he travels to the remote and misty Keriss Island to seek his destiny. The Black Guard and their allies are on their heels when they meet Ulric, another Dragon Knight. Can they trust the shapeshifter to aid them in their quest? And will Quinn gain control of his own emerging dragon powers before it's too late? The second in an exciting new dragon-fantasy series for 9-12 year olds!

I haven't read book one in this series but I could jump into this one easy enough without confusion.
The problem with some fantasy tales is that you feel you have read the same story before and this does feel like this in places. Nothing here feels particularly unique but what is there is readable if not breathtaking.
It is not a bad read. It is just above average. I can't recommend this series based on this book but if asked I would say to someone that they should read it.

Second book in adventure/fantasy series which compares/contrasts itself to Beast Quest I guess thinking it is a more grown up version. It is not a helpful comparison, but anyway, the story is average, not very memorable, but there is enough in there to be enjoyed.
