Customer Reviews

I liked it....

This was a great book! If you like adventure, it's in here. I thought this was an exciting book! Some people are saying that there was no romance, it wasn't funny, etc. I think Luka was involved a lot in the story! You'll just have to find out for yourself! I think it was as good as the first! : )

Dragon Flight Soars!

Once again, Creel entertained me on every page. I love how consistent the characters are in this book series. Each character - dragon and humans alike - has a distinct personality and a believable role to play in the plot. Creel has never been a damsel in distress, which I've always liked, but even better, she is usually the first to speak up and persuade others to have courage. And Jessica Day George does this in a realistic way, not how some writers try to tell you a character is a hero by using forced, cliché circumstances. I also like that Luka is an important part of the story first, and a love interest second. He and Creel have a cute but mature relationship, where they don't swoon all the time, but rather have a true friendship and mutual respect for one another's opinions and talents. I LOVE that. I'm so tired of tortured, brooding men showing up in children's literature - who somehow still need to be saved by the girl who keeps tripping over things. That isn't at all what you find in Dragon Slippers and Dragon Flight. Everyone has their moments of needing support, and everyone has their moments of triumph. The writing is spectacular in that way without ever feeling forced. Yet another thing I like about these books is that Creel has a full cast of genuine friends who serve different purposes in her life. They all come together to create snappy, realistic dialogue, and a fun plot. Another GREAT novel by Jessica Day George! I always look forward to new releases by her.

Great for All Ages

I read this book with my 9 year old daughter. She had to read Dragon Slippers for school and we liked it so much we had to buy Dragon Flight. Jessica Day George is a great writer. She appeals to readers in any stage of life. This was a well thought out, intriguing book. The characters are very realistic and interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone. I have also read Sun, Moon, Ice and Snow. Another wonderful book by Jessica Day George. I can't wait for her next book.

One of the best dragon series around

Dragon Flight is an excellent, exciting, and vividly realized follow-up to Dragon Slippers. In some ways, I enjoyed it more, because it was even more exciting. The characters are interesting and compelling and the dragons are...just what I thought dragons would be like. (I wish I had them around.) I had to read it in one sitting - and then I had to read it again! Buy it! I can't wait for the next one!

Hold on to your hat! It might be a bumpy ride!!!!

My daughter and I loved the first book and eagerly awaited the second, which can make it harder to enjoy if expectations are huge. This one does not disappoint! Plenty of action, character development flesh out an original and intriguing story line. Luka and Creel's relationship is a quiet thread throughout, but is challenged by other royal attention. Dragons are used for nefarious purposes...or are they? I hate to say anything about the plot because the less you know going into it, the better. Enrapturing for younger readers and enjoyable for adults as well, this book was wonderfully satisfying! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
