Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

bookschaosnart's review against another edition

3.0

This young adult fantasy tries to avoid the stereotypical gender tropes and lets the girls have an adventure. It's a fun read with a Princess who decides to become a dragon's princess because it's way more entertaining than being an actual princess. A female dragon trying to become dragon king to save her people. AND two princesses trying to help the dragons against their nemeses.

This book is so funny! It was the perfect thing to listen to on the car ride home.

2024 reread. My opinion remains about the same but I failed to mention how funny it is. I read this again so I could read the rest of the series. I'm curious to see where it goes

Original review: Definitely not perfect, but lots of fun. I feel like it relied a little too heavily on magic making things happen and every character that was introduced was blatantly brought into the story for the sake of the ending, but I did enjoy it. I liked the characters and I might be interested in reading further into the series.

Loved this as a kid. Totally forgot the story. Cute! Love that the princess is so independent and "doesn't need a man" to go against the usual trope. Can't wait for L to read.
