Dragon Spear


Dragon Spear
By Jessica Day George

From the author's website:

The exciting conclusion to the Dragon Slippers trilogy.

As far as Creel is concerned, all is finally right with the world. The dragon king, Shardas, and his queen, Velika, have made a comfortable home on the Far Islands. And with a tentative peace declared between dragons and humans, it seems the perfect time for Creel and Prince Luka to plan their wedding...or maybe not. Because when Velika gets kidnapped, Creel and Luka will join their dragon friends on their most dangerous adventure yet--only to discover that the real enemy may be one of their own. And if dangerous new foes and volcanic eruptions weren't enough to throw off the wedding, add in a bushel of unwanted relations and a little accident involving not one but two wedding gowns, and Creel's dream wedding might be turning into a nightmare.

Filled with humor, heart, and feats of derring-do, this newest novel from Jessica Day George will delight both returning fans and new readers alike.

My thoughts:
I really loved the first two in this series and this book did not disappoint. The dragons have been banned and are now at home in Far Islands. But, there is another group of dragons that steal Velika, the queen to become their own.

As always, there is a lot of adventure, ruined dresses, and bravery. I wouldn't be surprised if Jessica decided to do a spin-off series with Creel's brother Hagen or possibly some of the other characters.

Overall, the book was a great fantasy adventure that could appeal to both middle grade readers and young adults.

5/5 Roses
