This book is as enjoyable as the first time I read it 8 or so years ago. A fantastic start to a fantastic series. Cressida balances humor and absurdity and thrilling plots and character growth and a world drawing on our fascination of dragons so well. Several elements are a little simple, as one would expect from a children’s series. Particularly a lot of the dialogue and the parenting. However, Cowell plays so well to the format.
