The Summer Dragon
by Todd Lockwood
Enjoyed this story and Lockwood's drawings. Maia is a great heroine, learning to deploy her own special talent with dragons. My one reservation (and it got more pronounced as I progressed) is that Lockwood desperately needs a better editor. Fully a third of the book was repetition or restatement of what we already knew. The action scenes in particular got bogged down by clumsy stage-managing. Malik, for instance, a father-dragon attempting to defend his dragon baby, took FOREVER to die. He was always just on the point of expiring then came back and killed lots of attackers. Darian and Maia's dialogue is about half repeating what they've already said, dragging down the story.
