NOT SPOILER FREE
Dragon's Green is a joy to read with a writing style that reminded me of why I fell in love with reading in the first place. Throughout the story Thomas gave plenty of clever hints to allude to the importance of books and last editions in a way that could be understood by young readers. My favourite by far is the set up for Laura Wilde's series to become a last edition. Thomas does a great job of capturing the childish and fun feeling of magic while still giving it
reasonable limitations.
If I didn't know it was the first book of a series I would've easily realized it was while reading it. It's greatest flaw is probably that it's so clearly a set up for the rest of the series. It's mostly just a book of worldbuilding with not much in the way of plot and the problems are solved with quite a bit of ease.
A great book for young readers, something I'm looking forward to reading with my niece.
