Dealing With Dragons - Tumblr Posts
I'm revisiting Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C Wrede again. Such a good comfort read. I love this series. I have a feeling I'm about to reread the whole rest of the series too (library permitting)
I have finished the reread, and all other copies of the rest of the series are already borrowed (good! It is good the library is used!)
- I think it would be cute of Cimorene and Allenora kissed. I'm not saying this would be good or better, just that it would be cute. It would be a very different story, and it would lose the awesome "the princess MC doesn't get married at the end! She stays single and is happy that way!" Ending. And I love endings like that! But also the premise (two princesses, both misfits, both "captive" to dragons, bonding over time) would work for a shipping set up
- the dragons get to choose if they want to be male or female. The King of dragons is always King, regardless of gender, and the Queen is always the Queen.
I love this book. I love this series. There are so many good parts in this series. I like the worldbuilding. I'm so glad the library has copies

DEALING WITH DRAGONS by Patricia C Wrede. You agree.

Now this is more like it! This was a really tough one, So You Want to Be a Wizard and Dealing with Dragon both had a huge impact on my childhood but Princess Cimorene won. I literally read my little Scholastic paperback to pieces and proceeded to scour every used bookstore I entered for more books by the author. (on the other hand I drove to Montreal for love of Diane Duane and Nita sooooo like I said very tough call.)
Sara and Meg were close runners up and Alanna, Anne and Sophie were disqualified on the technicality that I didn't actually find/fall in love with their stories until I was an adult.
Claudia is awesome and I devoured the BSC but even back then I knew myself well enough to know I was a Mary Anne.
