 If you’re asking if you need to read the first book to understand this, you don’t! Everything that happened in Dear Dragon is well explained here. I loved this book more than the first one, and I’ve been trying to know why, but the reason escapes from my mind. The first one has more action; this one has too, but it’s less. Some romance sparks show here, which the first one doesn’t have. Mystery also is shown because we’re trying to discover… uhm, yes, no spoiler. And if we add the fantasy creatures, I think I have everything I like, so how could I not like it?

I will tell you: things go south. And we don’t have an ending because the story hasn’t finished yet (that “The End” isn’t going to fool me!). But it doesn’t have a cliffhanger! Well, it wasn’t one for me.

We have political affairs (like, really affairs 😏), fireworks, intrigue, royal suspicions, and little dragons being idiots. With just the little dragons we have enough ingredients for a disaster, but what can we do? They barely can be stopped, and even when they are, they are not. Don’t get in the way of a stubborn dragon! Try to change their mind before they act and everything will be alright. Ah! And COMMUNICATE, goddammit.
