The Gist
Creel’s getting married. At long last, Luka has proposed, his father has agreed to it, and Creel has begun making her wedding gown. And, to make everything in her life perfect, Shardas, Velika and every dragon she knows have found a home in an island paradise. Of course, Creel knows that her life can’t run so smoothly for very long. The first sign of trouble arrives at the King’s Seat with her brother, Hagen. That trouble is her aunt, uncle, and multitude of cousins. Luka, Creel, and Hagen escape to the Far Isles – the dragons’ new home – to relax before the wedding and get away from Creel’s aunt’s constant droning of princes and wealth and ungrateful behavior. When Velika is captured by a cult of dying dragons, Creel is among the first to demand they go after her. Luka, Hagen, Creel and Shardas must figure a way to sneak past the dying dragons’ defenses, find Velika, and figure out a way to save her before it’s too late. Before the other dragons do something truly horrible to her.

Oh, I should have guessed this was coming, shouldn’t I? Nevertheless, I was surprised when I found out this was in existence. Another dragon book? Really? I thought she should have moved on after the first one, but no, she’s plowed her way onto a third. Let’s get this over with first: The ending was the worst out of all three. It wasn’t clever, witty, or even remotely okay. At least by my standards. Moving on, Jessica Day George’s writing is as good as ever. I’ve always liked her writing style, so I never complain when I see she has a new published book (even though I must make it sound like I complain, I don’t). The idea is pretty original, and it kept me interested the entire time. One thing I didn’t like so much was how Creel obsessed over her wedding gown. I don’t know, maybe all brides go crazy over their wedding dresses, but Creel’s behavior was a bit over the top. Besides that, though, the characters were funny and believable. I’ve loved this series, and I love Jessica Day George as an author, but I seriously hope this is the last of her books about Creel and her dragon friends. It’s not that I don’t love the characters – because I do love them - or the fact that it’s about dragons – I LOVE dragons! It’s just that I think the story was done and she shouldn’t overdo it. The way I see it, there’s no sense gilding the lily. She should stop with this series and begin another. Or write more novels. But I think, by now, you known my views on this subject, so I should just stop blogging about it. Anyways, I’m pretty sure this is the last of the books on Creel. But Jessica Day George has more book, with pretty good endings too. I’ll review those soon (hopefully). Until then, have fun reading Dragon Spear. It’s tied with Dragon Flight as my second favorite. Overall, a definite good book, and must read for all those who have read Dragon Slippers and Dragon Flight.
