I loved how the stories all followed on from each other, giving greater insight to Croft and his relationships not only with Rueloo but also his nestmates, his father, and his friends.
One of the best parts for me were the dragons themselves. They had just as much to learn about the humans as the humans did about them. It made for some amusing moments!
Whilst this is predominantly a young adult fantasy, I thoroughly enjoyed every word and would love to have more from Croft and Rueloo. A brilliant book that had me gripped. Absolutely recommended by me.

The writing style in this is very good. I was gripped from the start and couldn't put this down. The main characters are all relatable in different ways, and even if you haven't necessarily experienced exactly the same things as them there's still a lot of yourself that you can recognise in all of them. To begin with, Ruby and Beth aren't exactly likeable characters mainly because as readers, we can see the problems with how they treat themselves (and others) and it's a bit frustrating. However you soon grow to love them and whilst the story itself is entirely predictable, it's still a joy to read. It promotes such a powerful message about loving and accepting yourself and about female empowerment, and you can't really go wrong with this.
