4.0
A cute action-packed tale, involving an eternal kitten, an elderly dragon, a princess and plenty of magic spells. Thaddeus the kitten is separated from his beloved princess and tries to make his way home. He befriends Grandiose the dragon, and has many adventures in his quest to return.
The characterisation of the kitten in this book is great. Very realistic. A nice mixture of arrogance and sweetness. The way the dragon basically adopts the kitten is heart-warming. The second half of the book is packed full of action, with inventive magic tricks, multiple rescues, and evil witches and wizards to thwart.
The world-building was a little thin, and some of the plot points were brushed over and maybe a tad rushed, but given that the book is clearly aimed at younger readers, it's not really a problem and certainly won't stop you enjoying the book.
