nat_json's review against another edition
5.0
I read the first book of this series when I was a kid and never knew that it was a trilogy until a few months ago. I have to say this is a very well written second book and honestly as a 23 year old adult I love the authors writing. The characters are very well written and are actually smart. Sometimes in kids books I think things are too simple but this is a great read for all ages.

That was perfect. I'm crying a little from the end, not because it's sad but because luka okay LUKA! No spoilers, but that boy.... God I love him and creel.
Okay this is safe and SPOILE free, and there will be clear warning before I start gushing over specifics, but I did press the spoiler button, so I'm assuming your prepared for spoilers

This is a wonderful follow up from the first book, and I adore it to bits. The characters are lovely, and the plot, though sometimes predictable, takes us on one hell of a ride.
Every time I think we reach the high point something eps show up.
A conflict doesn't necessarily solve itself just because one problem is solved, and I truly love that. It keeps me on my toes.
I also love that there is sat time aside for the characters so develop and for there story to proceed after the "story" ends.
I love that a former plot that had to be put on hold for the main plot to continue, can be picked up afterwards and ended in a way that makes sense.

I'm still not over how smooth Luka was in the end with the proposal.
I've been pleading with him to just propose too creel through the entry book (and GOD do I wanna smack his farther in the face) and FINALLY he actually dose it and it was even better that I had hoped.
There was no grant gesture, no wild plan, no rage of jealousy (because let's face it, creel was starting to get a little bit to much attention from some other royals)
It was just Luka, com and confident (mostly) saying that many they should get married too. It's not planned, he just knows that this is the woman he wanna spend the rest of his life with, screw what his father thinks, and he just asks her while their best friends are getting married. Because it's perfect and they are perfect, and it just warms my heart. Bless you Luka.

It’s books like this that made me a fantasy reader in the first place. Creel is a bold, headstrong character with a big heart. With the threat of war, dragon battles, and her in the mix it’s absolutely a fun read. And she is not the only bold character in the bunch.
As compared to the first [b:Dragon Slippers|669570|Dragon Slippers (Dragon Slippers, #1)|Jessica Day George|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1316730294s/669570.jpg|655608], I think I like the first a little better though the difference isn’t by much. I still enjoyed the adventure immensely and we get to see more dragons, different people, and more action. Creel is the same, which went both ways with me. She didn’t seem to develop all that much in the book. However, she never acted out of character just to make the story more interesting like some authors do.
One thing that I was happy about was the people’s reaction to the dragons was realistic, even for a juvenile fantasy. And it doesn’t go into great length about it. Again, I am grateful that Creel's story could end here even if there is a third book.
Looking forward to the final book [b:Dragon Spear|5933646|Dragon Spear (Dragon Slippers, #3)|Jessica Day George|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1391205532s/5933646.jpg|6106090].

I have yet to meet a book by this author that I didn't like. This was no exception. Cute story, cute characters, a good sequel, looking forward to more.

A worthwhile, enjoyable sequel! The climax of the book is more toward the middle rather than at the end, which felt a little odd and made for a long, slow ending to contrast the quick wrap-up of Dragon Slippers. The writing matches the first book perfectly, even if the pacing of the last 1/4th felt a little different. Fans of the first will love to return to these lands and these characters and see what our human and dragon friends have been up to.
