Book Review: Dealing With Dragons (Book 1)
Summary: 5 Stars
Cimerone of Linderwall is everything a princess shouldn't be. She isn't short like her sisters, or as pretty (or dumb). She doesn't want to learn about embroidery, lady-like manners, how to bow perfectly, and, least of all, how loudly it is permissible to scream when being carried off by a giant. So she bullies her father's people into giving her fencing lessons, magic lessons, cooking classes, and many other things. Finally, she has had it. The royal family takes a vacation up to the mountains, and there she finds that she will be married to the son of the royal family that lives there. She runs into a mountain full of dragons, and becomes the dragon Kazul's princess, cooking and cleaning and practicing her Latin skills. She makes friends with the dragon Woraug's princess, Alianora, and, with Kazul's and the witch Morwen's help, she thwarts a plot by the local wizards to interfere with the choosing of the dragon King.This is definitely a good read! It was humorous, and you can tell that it started out as a regular fairy tale, but Patricia Wrede has made it much, much better by doing this. Dealing with Dragons was only the first, and I hope to be reading the other three very soon!
