Summary: Cimorene, the princess who refuses to be proper, meets her match in the not-quite-kingly Mendanbar. With the aid of a broken-down magic carpet and a leaky magical sword, the two tackle a series of dragon-nappings.
*Summary from Amazon
Thoughts: Again, the summary doesn't add up to the rich humor of this story. I found this sequel to Dealing with Dragons almost more fascinating by the briefly tapped on or mentioned fairy tales that were interwoven in the story. While the first book dealt mainly with the lives of dragons and princesses, Searching for Dragons branches out into other areas of the world, developing the surrounding area a bit, bringing in new characters, and expanding on the way magic does and doesn't work here. And did I mention there were children? An entire chapter with adorable children running around in the back and a sweetly grumpy dwarf as their caretaker. I loved it!
Content: Again, nothing.
