But I am soooo disappointed with this book, that I think it was not written by her. The Kingdom of The Golden Dragon is book #2 of her YA trilogy The Jaguar and the Eagle.The first book, The city of The beast was a 5 stars book. It is full of magic, mystery and fantasy using as a backdrop the Amazon jungle. But the second book is a complete opposite of the first one. While I was reading the book, I was feeling that I had already seen the book in a National Geographic special. There was nothing original in this book, even the protagonists that in the first book were so interesting, in this book were boring.I will not recommend this book and don't think I will read the third book. Sorry... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spiritual journey *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2005* When I picked up the first part of this trilogy, City of the Beasts, I didn't know what to expect, but was soon enchanted by the spiritual ideas that presented in an easy-to-read novel. The second part, Kingdom of the Golden Dragon, continues to take the reader on a spiritual journey into different cultures, and different ways of thinking. In an age where most people are obsessed by material wealth and technological advances, it is nice to see a novel for young readers that puts this western thinking into contrast with tribal (in City of the Beasts) and spiritual (Buddhism in Kingdom of the Golden Dragon).Like in the first book, the main characters are Alexander, a youth from California, and Nadia, a young girl Alexander met on his first adventure in the Amazon. Together, with Alex's grandmother Kate, who writes for the International Geographic, they venture to the Forbidden Kingdom. Nestled in the himalayas, this kingdom is cut of from civilization as we know it, and is run by a wise buddhist ruler. Legend says that it is home of the Golden Dragon, a statue said to be able to tell the future.Meanwhile, the second richest man of the US, a computer genius, hires "The Specialist" to steal exactly this dragon, hoping to become the richest man in the States. During a ceremony for the king, 6 girls, among them Nadia, are kidnapped. Alexander, who has a hunch that it may be connected with the Golden Dragon, ventures out to find the girls.What unfolds is an adventurous battle between the two young heros with the king's son and master as well as an army of yetis, against the sect of the scorpion and "the Specialist."The book is a beautiful introduction into buddhism as well a shamanism (the two heros are able to separate their spirit from their body and turn into their totemic animals). The only complaint I have is that the main villain was too easily to identify, especially after reading City of the Beasts. Instead of spinning a new plot of the mastermind, Allende basically re-used the villain of the first part. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greed *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020* I absolutely love reading Isabel Allende's books. Her prose is simple yet beautiful. Even though I am no where near being a young adult, I was very entertained by this novel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/23698920-kingdom-of-the-golden-dragon-paperback-may-10-2005](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/23698920-kingdom-of-the-golden-dragon-paperback-may-10-2005) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
