This is a dragon book like you will never have read before, with a unique take on dragons, and the people that have to deal with them, and a... sort of, happy ever after to boot! though, whose getting the happy ending remains to be seen. this book had me enthralled from start to finish, and refused to let me go. to the point I stayed up an hour past my bedtime just to finish it.
we follow Robert, a poor exterminator for pests... Dragon, pests. nasty, noxious, fire breathing, poison spitting, biting little vermin... that he loves deeply and fully. he hates his job, he hates his life, he wants more. so much more. when a traveling prince makes an impression on the local princess, things all get turned on their head when she demands the castle be 'de-vermined' immediately. what follows is a string of events that never could have been foreseen, and frankly, if this was any other fairy tale, things would have gone much differently indeed. but Robert has an uncanny luck with Dragons, and there's farm more than vermin to have to deal with now.
