lightreadsNice Dragons Finish Last and One Good Dragon Deserves Another
3/5. I was hoping this would be my pre-delivery/post-delivery reading* – something long and relatively undemanding – but I just . . . never liked it that much? Not enough to continue with the rest of the series. This is about the youngest dragon in an ancient clan of scheming, vicious dragons, and what it's like to be the one nice one who accidentally stumbles his way into power. It comes across as anti-Slytherin propaganda, basically. On behalf of my house, I would like to say that this dragon kid would have been eaten like twenty times over before these books even start, and I'm not sure it would be more than a small loss.
*Yes, eviction accomplished. Fifteen hours of labor, one failed epidural (yes, really, I should just stop being surprised when shit like this keeps happening to me), one seven pound eleven ounce Casterbrook. :D
