[close] They just keep getting better! This is definitely my favorite one so far. As per the usual, Hiccup and Fishlegs find themselves in a spot of trouble after their pirate lessons go horrible awry. Here, they accidentally attack a Roman war ship, and Toothless gets kidnapped! Naturally, Hiccup will go to any lengths to get Toothless back (thus constantly reminding me of that Hagrid quote from PoA: "Well, people can be a bit stupid about their pets..." :) ). I absolutely loved Ziggerastica (whose name always made me think of "The Neverending Story" - although now that I've looked it up, I realize that it's close to the location name of Fantastica and not a character's name as I had thought :) ). Small but mighty, Ziggerastica is the true hero of this story! I also loved Camicazi, because she's just plain crazy and fun. I hope she sticks around for future installments.
