Ha. I actually AM currently reading this one.
Knitting baby blankets is consuming these days...it's much easier to knit and watch a movie than to knit and read. Trust me.

This book was as awesome as the first one! Adventure, Stubbornness, and Romance come together to make a great book. Besides it has DRAGONS and lots of DRAGONS! Need I say more! I'm going to find these and add them to my bookshelves!
Solid, engaging and witty follow-up to Dragon Slippers. I adore the main characters and am willing to forgive George for straining my credulity with a somewhat thin plot. The sheer joy that infuses this book makes it worth reading. I think this is a lovely series for middle-schoolers. And me.
Still a fun read, same easy reading as the first. I liked this one a little less than the first, but still loved it. I liked seeing the business through this, and hearing the descriptions of the embroidery. The politics, simplified for middle grade, were interesting and well done. This one overall just had fewer funny/sweet moments, which is why it got 4 stars and not 5 stars. Great edition though.
Definitely a worthy sequel to Dragon Slippers, especially concerning the fact that Dragon Slippers wasn't supposed to have a sequel. Just as in the first book, Dragon Flight is a creative and humorous story with a clever and inviting writing style. 'Flight' may even be better than 'Slippers'... I can't decide.
I wasn't particularly impressed at the beginning of the story. The whole almost-dying-but-not-actually think is kind of cliché, and felt very plot device-y. But in the end, I didn't at all mind having Shardas back--I love it. He's so cool. <3 Also, I was slightly put off but at the same time interested in the vague plot given at the beginning. Oh look, the country is randomly being attacked... that's annoying. But I knew from Dragon Slippers that there would certainly come more depth to the plot in time. I was right. I became more than interested in the story. I was wrapped up in it, enthralled. More so than in Slippers, I believe.
The story curve was also sort of weird... the powerful climactic moments happened in the middle of the book. However, it wasn't at all bad. It's certainly better than the two or so pages of resolution that some books have. Dragon Flight was a great and happy book with a bunch of great ideas and plot twists.
Now that this is a series, I'd love another sequel. I'm sure that if Jessica Day George can spin a second Dragon War that still feels completely original and makes for such an excellent book, she can do it again... or even come up with a completely new idea.

Oh my gosh, reading this book's blurb made me finally remember reading it! Like I'd known I read it at one point, but could never remember what it was about. Neither sequel lived up to Dragon Slippers haha
rally good loved the plot and the action the romance could be improved but it was a really sweet nice book that reminded me of reading a fairytale.
