The Song of the Quarkbeast by Jasper Fforde
5.0

I enjoyed the first book of this series, but I was unfamiliar with the characters. By the second book, they've grown on me. It's possible that 5 stars was a little generous, but since I've been in a slump with books I enjoy lately, this was a welcome change.

It's the same wacky dystopia and you find yourself...enjoying it? Making light of treating orphans like slaves? Check. The king has established a dictatorship...but you know, it's not all hopeless. Interesting because on paper, these should be horrifying and depressing, but they are not.

The dragons are mentioned, but not featured in this book, and Jennifer's role as Dragon Slayer takes the back burner, I guess.
