Goog upgrade from book 2
First things first: before I start reviewing this book, I recommend you read book two in case you are not reading this series in order. Just because, at least for me, books two and three are two parts of the same arc, and book three gives some resolution on some stuff that happened in book two.
Now, about book three. As always, we are presented with new and interesting dragons, along with some other characters. Hiccup and his friends are thrown into an impossible situation where he must use all his cleverness to take them out. From here, there is nothing too different from what we saw in the other two books; the interesting part came in the way Hiccup finds the solution to the final riddle.
Before I dive into that, I need to make some clarifications. Spoilers ahead. If you have already read book two, you know the arc of Alvin the Treacherous was the main plot of book two. Yes, the story presents the Strangler as the final boss, but in reality, the plot of the book ends inconclusively as the author leaves hints that we haven´t seen the last of Alvin. The arc we have been following from book two is resolved in this book, as we are given a most definitive final for Alvin, who is the main antagonist in book three. Of course we get the big bad dragon as it is the hallmark on HTTYD series, but the big bad boss is ultimately Alvin.
Since book one Hiccup story have shown us that there are more than one way to be a hero, and that most times than not what we need is the most improbable and desperate plan. In book three, Hiccup must learn that sometimes help came from the most unexpected places.
