Dragon Flight by Jessica Day George

Dragon Flight by Jessica Day George

I loved this sequel to Dragon Slippers. We pick right back up with the adventures of Creel and Prince Luka. Creel now has her own dress shop and has quite a bit of business including making the trousseau for the new queen-to-be and helping her friend Marta design and sew her wedding dress. But with Shardas and Queen Velika laying low so they can rest and recover and with Luka out of the country on dipolmatic prince duties things are not as exciting as Creel might want.

Things definitely get more exciting though when Prince Luka writes to Creel from the southern country where he had been saying to say that the king planned to destroy Feravel and every country in between. Worse, the king has an army of dragons and riders. This is, of course, more than Creel can stand since the dragons are obviously being coerced into doing human fighting by some sort of evil alchemy.

I very much enjoyed seeing Creel and Luka again and was pleased by the progress all the characters made within the book. Things wrap up beautifully for not just Luka and Creel but for Marta and Tobin, Shardas and Velika and all the dragons. For being an unplanned book things certainly tied up nicely.
