Enjoyable read overall, but kind of slow for me, sometimes boring. I won't go on with this series.

pickDelightful. Given the original 90s publication date, I'm particularly pleased with how female forward this story was. It might seem like feminism 101 that the princess wants more out of life than comportment and being married off, that a female dragon can be the King of Dragons, that Morwen the witch, and cat lady,☺️ is a formidable ally, but as this feels like it was written for middle grade readers, I don't begrudge it for simple, clear 1/?
Solidifying my theory that what Maleficent really needed was to loosen up. 😆
Have an unfortunate craving for dragon ASMR, now. 🤦🏼♂️
This dragon wants someone to bake for them and catalogue their library: dream job. 🍰📜📚
Going to be an old grump for a moment.
I was four when this book was first published, and the only reason I know it exists now is a Tumblr post appreciating the original cover art.
See first edition, another edition I don't mind, and the latest cover I got from the library below. There's just something about children's book art and animation from the 90s that feels like it's been lost or at least not prioritized as a form since. 🙎🏼♂️
Funny to be reading this while kiddo is watching the animated Alice in Wonderland in the next room.
pickCatch up the first.
I loved this book, absolutely adored it. I wish I‘d read it as a kid and I can‘t wait for kiddo to read it. But she‘ll have to wait until I finish the quartet because otherwise we‘ll be fighting over them! Cimorene is a great hero and Kazul the dragon is awesome. I hope to finish the remaining three this month.
