The Prism Blade by Patricia Bow

The Prism Blade is the second book in the series The Passage to Mythrin. Amelia, Simon, and Ike get caught in the middle of a battle that has been raging forever between Dragons and Humans. Simon wants his life to go back to normal after the first visit to Mythrin, but Amelia and Mara (the dragon she met in the last visit) have different ideas. Amelia believes that she is being sent dreams from Mara that are telling her to go find a passage way to Mythrin. The dreams eventually lead them to a library window, which eventually leads them to Mythrin. When they return to their world, a 12 year old seeker returns with them to see if this world is safe from Dragons. She is also on the search for something called The Prism Blade. It is said that The Prism Blade can kill off all the Dragons. When Amelia returns the face off is about to begin. Can she stop it? And if not, whose side is she going to take? Read the book to find out.

The Prism Blade is good for anyone who likes fantasy. It never has a slow point where I wanted to put it down. The book is a never ending adventure. Whether it is winning a trophy or it is finding a Passage to Mythrin or even looking for a window, Amelia will one way or another make it sound like the best thing ever. This one takes a different view on dragons, one like I have never seen before. If you liked Eragon, Dragonspell, and/or The Dragons in our Midst series than you should like this one too. It ended up being one of my favorite books I have read. Enjoy!
