Publisher's Summary

In the third book in the Dragonwatch series, Kendra leaves the timberland dragon sanctuary of Wyrmroost and travels to the other side of the world to a new and aquatic dragon preserve that teeters on the brink of being overthrown in the ongoing global dragon uprising.

The dragons have formally declared war on anyone who stands in their way of freedom and unrestrained power. With every dragon sanctuary that falls, Celebrant, the Dragon King, comes closer to his goal of world domination. No single mortal or creature can stop Celebrant. Kendra will need to raise an army of friends and allies to accomplish her mission to thwart Celebrant because her brother Seth and her closest ally, Bracken, are missing.

Cursed by the Key of Forgetting, Seth’s memories of his past - his relationships, experiences, and who he really is - are gone. For now he will align with his new mentor, Ronodin, the Dark Unicorn, who brings him to the Phantom Isle, the secret gateway to the Underworld. Though not formally a prisoner, Seth is heavily influenced by Ronodin, who wants to use him and his special Shadow Charmer powers for his own dark ends.

Seth and Kendra have braved the Fairy Queen, battled the Demon King, and survived the Dragon King during the dragon uprising. Now alone, Seth will face a new dark foe: the Underking - the ruler of the “undead”: the zombies, skeletons, and restless wraiths who tirelessly serve their dark master. He will find himself in bondage to the Underking and obligated to complete nefarious tasks for him.

Also on the Phantom Isle, but imprisoned, is Bracken, who claims to be a unicorn, the son of the Fairy Queen, and a former friend of Seth. Bracken and Kendra try to remind Seth about his past, but, unable to access his memories, he isn’t sure who to believe. For now, he will use his newly discovered magical abilities, which could be a game changer in helping Ronodin create chaos.

In this new fantasy adventure, Dragonwatch: Master of the Phantom Isle, listeners travel to a ghost island, a mermaid city, and a dangerous archipelago as they meet new fantastical characters and get reintroduced to old friends from Fablehaven. As power shifts back and forth from the forces of light and dark, who will gain the ultimate advantage to win the epic dragon war?

Well done

It was a very well done story, some 9f the flags I thought I saw for storyline stuff were so wrong. This actually keeps you on your toes!

This series is not true to the fablehaven series

First off, Mendigo was to be fixed by the fairy Queen, so these last two books have a plot that is based on a hole.

The addition of another dragon, arguably more powerful than Celebrant but passive is just poor writing.

Rehashing the same stereotypes and tropes with the cousins as it was with the original main characters just feels lazy, Tess is an innocent and pure little girl just as Kendra was (literally becomes fairy-struck as well) and Nox is a curious and foolhardy young boy that constantly gets others into trouble, I'm just surprised Mull didn't give him some dark powers as well.

There truly was so much potential for this series and it could have been handled better, instead of introducing essentially the same characters why not allow for a betrayal by Raxtus, I mean it was already apparent from both the original series and this one he wanted acceptance from his father.

The sphinxes betrayal was also not a surprise and once again an example of lazy/poor writing. Why not introduce some zest, like the fact that the font of immortality is a unicorn horn and him being tied to it and being a shadow charmer caused it to have unforseen complications, maybe the connection it had with Bracken would also result in bracken being touched by darkness?

I want so badly to like this story, I grew up reading the fablehaven series and I found a love for Mull by first reading the Candy shop war, but this series falls short and ultimately feels more like a money grab and lacking any originality. I know that he has written many books and it is hard for him to venture out of the tropes he has for his characters, but this was unbelievably hard to read or listen too.

I'll stick with pretending the story ended with Kendra and Seth sealing the demon prison and I'll try to forget this series exists.
