A review by hazelalaska
The Dragon Princess by E.D. Baker

3.0

I thought about giving this 2.5 stars, but I decided to settle for 3 because it wasn’t a bad book. It was more of the fact that I am not within the age range for the target audience. The book just felt too young for me, and it felt like it was aimed at an even younger audience than the forst few books in the series. The only reason that I am reading these books is because I read the first one years ago and then after that I went out and bought some of the reat of the series. Now I am trying to clear off some speace on my shelves, but I have a problem with letting books go without reading them, or in this case finishing the series.

The one thing I have to say is that the author did a good job creating a differnt voice for Millie than the one for Emma in the first books. She sounds very different from her. However, Millie seems less mature than Emma was, which makes it feel like it is meant for a younger audience. At the beginning Millie sort of acts like a spoiled brat and basically has tantrums when she can’t have things her way, even though, as not only a fifteen year-old but also a princess, she should know that things cannot always go her way and that their duties to the people come first. Emma understood this, especially since she became the Green Witch, but for some reason Millie doesn’t get it.

It was also interesting to see some of the characters from the pervious books, and see their children interacting with Millie. I do wish that some of them played a bigger role, especially Emma and Eadric, because they were barely there at all.

The one thing I am not sure that I like about this series is that the main characters changed in the middle of the series. We went from Emma for the first four to Grassina for the fofth and Now Millie for thr sixth, and I was not really expecting that. It reminds me a bit of the Chronicles of Narnia series, because they o that there too and I did not expect that either. I prefer to continue following the same main character instead of switching all the time.
