Dragon Spear is Jessica Day George's final book in the Dragon Slippers trilogy.
Our heroine Creel finally feels like she's received her happy ending. Her dragon friends are safe on a land uninhabited by humans, the dragon queen is about to give birth to eggs that will produce the next heir, and Creel herself is about to marry her true love. What could go wrong?
Well, for one thing, Creel's family could show up. The aunt who was bent on shipping Creel off to a dragon's lair so a knight would save and marry her? Yeah, we find out she's really as crazy as that; she smarts off to the king and he lets her, for goodness' sake! If you've read the previous two books, you know what a statement that is.
Creel escapes her own kingdom to spend some time with her dragon friends, and she finally begins to relax again. So of course something terrible happens.
The pregnant dragon queen Velika is kidnapped.
How can someone kidnap a dragon right out from under the noses of thousands of other dragons, you may ask?
Good question. The better question is: Can they get Velika back with all of her babies none the worse for the wear?
Great ending to a good series! The dragon kingdom is far more vast and complicated than I ever thought, and Creel agrees. I also didn't hate every member of her family; Creel's brother was a lot of fun to get to know! I should reread this series soon.
