Review

Dragon Spear is the exciting finale to the Dragon Slippers trilogy.  Characters I have come to know are joined by a band of tiny rogue dragons on a mission.  These mini dragons are stubborn, proud, and quirky – while the Feraval dragons collect luxuries, these new dragons collect PEOPLE.  So weird!

Nothing is simple as Creel and Luka plan their wedding.  Rather than dealing with some played-out-love –triangle, these two deal with dragons trapping them in a pit and a wedding dress that refuses to stay neat and clean.  Jessica Day George works humor into this love story with great success!

I loved that the Feraval dragons were just as important as the humans in this series.  In fact, at times they seemed to be even bigger to the story than Creel.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a band of dragons as your body guards and friends? 

For a dragon-inspired series, these books are surprisingly light-hearted.  They are beautifully written and I am so glad I read them.

Cover Comments

This cover is way more colorful than the first two covers and it's cartoonish in a good way.  I liked that we see Creel, one of her dragon friends, and the precious dragon eggs.  Check out that big spear – you go Creel!
