The tone and voice easily hooked me to the end. More like this please!

If you want some swashbuckling fantasy, that's full of charm, adventure, a diverse cast, fun and plenty of banter, this is plain gold.

This is a traditional quest fantasy with some cool original ideas, plenty of action, strong characters and humour. In other words, something most fantasy-loving kids are going to enjoy.

I liked how the topics were just taken on straight forward, no big philosophical thoughts about it, but also not taken as a given.

It's perfect for fans of Scales and Sensibility by Stephanie Burgis, or really everyone who loves a Jane Austen like setting with a fabulous female MC and dragons!

There's plenty of banter and fun along the guts and gore, which makes it a very entertaining and satisfying read, from start to finish!

Friendship and banter are always a strong draw for me!
