The key to open worlds is inside the belly of a dog…

Since Max, the dog, swallowed the key to enter every dimension, the worlds are no longer safe.

Firstly, the warlocks themselves will do everything in their power to get hold of that key. That’s a problem because they’re both awfully powerful and awfully evil.

But they’re not the only ones who want the key. A mysterious new contender has entered the realm, and if he or his lackeys get hold of the key every single one of the seven dimensions are doomed.

Which means it’s once again down to Ben the Dragoncat, his dragon, and his dragon rider companions to save the day. This time, though, they have a whole load of unicorns to help out, as well as a feline cat goddess from an ancient time, not to mention the oldest and wisest fairy of them all…

My Review

My Rating: 5 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads

Picking up shortly after the conclusion of book four, all of our adventuring friends still left standing at the end of the previous book have made it back to the academy, and it’s time to welcome some new initiates …none of whom are human. Unfortunately for all present at the celebration, word quickly comes that Arren is still up to no good trying to get new dog friend Max’s swallowed key that opens every dimension so that he can unleash a new flavour of evil on the 9 dimensions, and it’s up to Ben and his friends to save the day again. This round’s adventure features a lot of messy love lives, including a new love triangle situation for Ben, and the introduction of some new but familiar faces from our dimension’s ancient mythology.

I adore this series, and this instalment did not disappoint! The plot itself, the actual adventure, is solid, fun, and not too challenging to follow as always. Ben’s very dry takes on the world and people around him never fail to make me laugh (“sounded like an orchestra of a thousand blenders”) and the various shifts in intercharacter relationships and individual character arcs in this book are really well done. We do get more tidbits about character backstories and how magic works in this version of the world. It feels like this series is shaping up to be one of those longer series comprised of smaller series with contained plot arcs of a certain multi-book length, and in this case, it seems to be coming in trilogies. A Cat’s Guide to Travelling Through Portals is book five and it feels like the middle of a trilogy in terms of where the Max and Arren plot picked up and left off. Now, don’t get confused by the term “middle” here. This book does NOT suffer from middle book syndrome!

For readers who are just coming across the Dragoncat series, don’t start here, but please do read this series! This series should be read in order from book one, with the prequel novella slotted in whenever you get a chance to read it, but at the very least you’re going to want to read book one (Ben introduction/world concept) and book four (start of this plot arc) before reading book five.
