Setting: Valdire and Earth
Genre: Sci-fi/fantasy romance
Two novellas involving the offspring of couples in previous novels in the series. The first novella, The Old Dragon of the Mountain’s Christmas, started out really well. However, as soon as the toddlers showed up, things went downhill. What the heck were children (too young to have learned to speak properly) doing in the mountains without an adult? And then Christoff’s dragon, despite its great age, also has the vocabulary of an intellectually challenged child. It was irritating.
I couldn’t finish the book. I couldn’t listen to 4 more hours of baby talk.
