Dragon Heart by Cecelia Holland
2.0
I feel bad giving this book such a low rating. I think it's a blue cheese of a book, something that will be someone's favorite but isn't to everyone's taste, and is especially not to everyone's taste if they take a big bite of it thinking it's something else.
After a strong start with the actual dragon, the focus shifts to a Fall of the House of Usher-type story, with a complicated and and dysfunctional family in a moody castle in a dreamy and indistinct setting. It is significantly less fun than watching a Dragon and a Princess get to know each other. Too many characters in too short a space ironically creates a section that seems to go on forever. Really disappointing.
