Improved upon first book, narration still the same

I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Narration 6/10
The narration remains exactly the same as the first book "Dragon Connection" so I'll just repost what I wrote about the narration back when I reviewed that one:
"Even though the narrator seems skillful and conspicuous effort is put into giving life to the characters, since the first moment I could not get past the sound tone chosen for the main protagonist, Nari. The voice, for me, was totally unfit for the character and it sounded more fit for the narration of something like "50 shades of grey" and I truly cannot understand why would someone designate a slightly silly and partly sensual voice to a fantasy hero, who should normally bear a more bold voice with some, either concealed or obvious, determination to it. In this regard, no matter how hard I tried, by the end of the novel I did not manage to get used to it. As a matter of fact, during the last few chapters I decided to speed the narration up to x1.5 which surprisingly helped, since the sped up voice took away an adequate part of the aforementioned sensual - silly hue.
Additionally, although a minor issue compared to the above, I should mention that the lingual sound effects were a bit off-putting, since they sounded nothing like they are supposed to. To be more precise, a dragon roar does not sound like "squeeeeeel" and a whistle does not sound like "feet feet feet".
For confrontation to the above and to give credit where credit is due, backtracking to my premise, the narrator does possess perspicuous skill with potential for improved recitation in future work, a dribble of which can be distinguished by the narration of several secondary characters whom she portrayed greatly."
To add to the above, I've actually checked the narrator's profile and I found what seems to be the source of the problem: She mostly narrates romantic flicks. Apparently she keeps the same style for the rest of the books as well, while she should adapt and change her style and tone depending on what she is narrating.

Story 7.5/10
The story continues where the first book (Dragon Connection) left off and it is told via the perspective of Nari, a sixteen year old girl set on a journey with her bonded dragon to find the Stone Crown.
The story is pretty straightforward, simple and easy to follow. I find it a bit improved upon the previous book since, even though the first half can be a bit stale, the second half is action packed and more interesting. Don't expect any twists and wows out of it though, it's a mostly foreseeable action fantasy story.

Overall, as I did with the Dragon Connection, I will also recommend this one for younger ages (10-15 y.o.), people getting familiar to the English language and people getting started with novel stories, as it is a pleasant, rather simple story, with easy vocabulary to tail after.
