I enjoyed the last book quite a bit more, but still enjoyed this one.I'm a bit disappointed that Count Olaf Alvin is continuously mentioned, but hasn't yet shown up again.When is that other shoe going to drop, Ms Cowell?!Drunken/dragon-nipped Toothless was pretty hilarious, and I loved how Hiccup, Camicazi and Fishlegs managed to extricate themselves from yet another MOST PERILOUS situation.I've already started the next book, and I'm glad it looks like we're going to be getting more information on Hiccup's forefathers. I really have been wanting to learn more about this situation (PLEASE TELL US WHO HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK II IS!) since the first book.I'm concerned about the lack of Valhallarama for the last few books, though.
