This was one of the most boring, uninteresting books I have read all summer. Elements that should have yielded a good story merely prolonged the slow death of all and any interest in the story. How can ELLA have been so enjoyable and this so bland?
Girl out having adventures meets up with a dragon: of course it reminds me of Dealing with Dragons.
