Even though I have not read the first books in this series, I was not confused at all by reading this first - it worked very well as a stand-alone book for Young Adults, and I loved the characterization. Princess Madeline is not reminiscent of the stereotypical princess and I loved that! She is a strong-willed young woman who is coming of age and learning about herself. The magical attributes of the book are absolutely fabulous as well! Just when you think you know what you are reading the author takes you on a twisting journey and shows not only the reader but the characters that they don't know what they are in for :) I must say I don't read a lot of YA books but this was an awesome read for me and now I cannot WAIT to read the other books in the series as well as any future books from this author :) Hoping the next book shows us how the new Prince and Princess learn more about ruling their kingdom and delve into Madeline's magical powers even more!
More Buzz About The Book
"The story is engaging on many levels, as is Pulioff's writing, but on this occasion I was mostly drawn into the action and the mystery as how to prevent the worst from happening. This is great entertainment and should do well across a wider age range." ~ 5 Star Review,ChristophFischerBooks, Amazon
"Kirstin Pulioff has saved the best for last. 'Princess Madeline and the Dragon' is the final instalment in the 'Princess Madeline Trilogy'. I thought the first two books were finely wrought stories, but this novel surpasses its predecessors. Prophesies, family tragedies, magic and - of course - dragons, combine to produce a tale that is an instant classic. Written with a great deal of charm, 'Princess Madeline and the Dragon' will not disappoint Ms Pulioff's young fans. I look forward to seeing where next her imagination will take this natural storyteller. " ~ 5 Star Review, Diogenes, Amazon
"Princess Madeline and the Dragon is an exciting and thoroughly satisfying final chapter in this fantasy/adventure series. As she did with books one and two, the author has created a fantasy world in a rich medieval setting that we can believe in--and want to visit, over and over...Along with adventure, a sweet romance, and a theme that centers on the power of love, you may find a surprise or two! If your tween or teen loves princesses, brave heroes and fairytales of daring-do, they shouldn't miss this one!" ~ 5 Star Review, Ally S., Goodreads
