Dragon Flight - Jessica Day George

So sorry guys!!! I haven't blogged in awhile...
Wasn't the snow AHHHH-MAZING?! I enjoyed it so much.(so much fun, lobbing snowballs at siblings :) don't you think) ;)
Well, so here we are, with the sequel to Dragon Slippers (to see my review, click here). Fasten your seat belts, here we go.....

Main Synopsis
With the Dragon Wars over, Creel finds herself bored with life as a seamstress. Then word comes that a bordering country has been breeding dragons in preparation for an invasion. Never one to sit around, Creel throws herself headlong into an adventure that will reunite her with her dragon friend Shardas, pit her against a vicious new enemy and perhaps rekindle a friendship with Prince Luka that seems to have gone cold.

The Bad :
Kissing. That's about it. But I think that's not exactly what you call negative these days...
Violence. Battles near the end, dragon blood galore, and it made me rather sad :(
One of the counsel members (can't remember his name..) is a complete jerk. :)

The Good :
Creel returns once again as the humble seamstress / dragon savior, and she is strong, courageous, and  furious the way dragons are treated.  She stands up to the king for Shardas and Co..
Marta also returns as Creel's best friend, and is betrothed to Tobin, Luka's ex-bodyguard. I like her.
Luka... oh Luka.... he sounds so darn perfect, for crying out loud! But I still love him. He loves Creel, sadly, so no Luka for me :`(

My Thoughts :
Well, I enjoyed it, and it followed up well to Dragon Slippers. It was exciting and funny.
But it was just "enjoyed" not loved, because, something about J.D.G.'s writing style doesn't pull me in; but it has also not yet fallen under the curse of the first person- I want to kill her for thinking that!- type thing. Creel has not yet gotten annoying.... Which is a good thing, because I'll probably get Dragon Spear, the third and final installment to the trilogy, next time I'm at the library.
Total rating : 7/10
ADIEU!!
