Book Review: Dread Mountain



Review: #53
Title: Dread Mountain
Series: Deltora Quest - 5th book
Author: Emily Rodda
Read Before: yes
My Comments: Beginning was boring, and there was nothing captivating at the start, but it does set up the plot of this book quite well, and introduces some critical characters and abilities. It picks up somewhere around the middle, where the main characters start to go on their quest, with a big bit of excitement. The monster villain for this book is really interesting (a giant toad). There aren’t many riddles and puzzles in this book, which dulls the excitement a bit, but the ending is really well done. I love how the villain didn't get defeated by force, but by thinking.
