Book Review: Dragon's Milk

Summary: "You must go to the dragon. You must leave tonight."              Before she even hears the words, Kaeldra already knows what she must do. She must search out the mother dragon whose draclings have just hatched and somehow get some of her precious milk. It's the only way to save her foster-sister's life. Kaeldra would rather not go. It's much too terrifying, much too dangerous. But Kaeldra knows that she's the only one who can do it. For she is the only one who can actually communicate with dragons.   But little does Kaeldra know what she's getting into. She's about to begin a journey that will entwine her fate with that of three little draclings and one would-be dragonslayer. A journey that will become a struggle for life.
Thoughts: Well...this wasn't exactly what I was expecting because, surprise! the dragon milk part is actually only the very beginning, the prologue to the adventure. Now it was pretty cute and reminiscent of Patricia Wrede's Dealing With Dragons, but Kaeldra was a little less tough and fell for the love interest a little too easily in my opinion. this wasn't a problem with the story though. My only true problem with this book was that the heroine seemed to fall into more trouble than adventure.She got into more scrapes that cause her to flee rather than a actual adventure that causes character growth and teaches the main characters valuable lessons. even so, this was still a fun book and light read!
Content: Aside from a few animal deaths (one a little gruesome but not very detailed) there is no content. This is a clean and safe read!
