Read it for comparison’s sake to the movie. Still processing, but I don’t think I read any of the others in the series. Interesting in a character study way.

I have mixed feelings about this book/series. I like the plot and the theme but I was annoyed with the main character about 90% of the time. She is stubborn and annoying to me and lacks emotional intelligence. I also still have some issues with the writing overall. That being said, the story was enough to keep me hooked and I'll definitely read the next one. I'll just be glad for a break from dragon drama.

This was relaxing, a very nice palate cleanser and quite informative. I also love the illustrations. I would like to read more reflective nature writing like this.
