The Princess Who Flew with Dragons by Stephanie Burgis
5.0
Dragons and chocolate - two good things that go great together!
Okay, so this book doesn't have as much chocolate as the previous two books in this series, so you'll just have to supply your own. Anyway, this story follows Princess Sophia and her entourage of insecurities. Her mother's dead, her father stopped caring, and her older sister Katrin has to raise her while ruling the kingdom. Sophia's only friend is her pen pal- a dragon she's never met in person.
Now, Sophia is forced (well, very strongly urged) by her sister to fly to a far-off kingdom to be a royal representative at a grand exhibition. Naturally, everything goes wrong before she's even landed.
Like the previous two books, this is an insanely engaging story of a young girl getting put through the wringer and coming out stronger on the other side. Stephanie Burgis keeps things humorous, but skillfully delves into more thought-provoking waters: the true meaning of power, the burden of responsibility, the heartbreak of rejection, and even the struggle to open up and let someone in.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dragons, adventure, and complex characters.
