I had this as an advance reading copy via Netgalley</span></p> <p class="MsoHeader" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">Garrodigh is a four-headed dragon with only three heads left. The fourth got blown off by an enemy cannonball. Centrehead wants to rain fire on all humanity, Bottomhead is not a thinker. Free food and a few scritches will cheer him up. Upperhead thinks he&rsquo;s human. Garrodigh, pretending to be a tame dragon, sneaks into a human dragon rider academy in search of some free food and a place to sleep for a few days. He&rsquo;s surprised to find that the humans fix his busted foot and salve his torn wings&hellip; but he still wants to kill them all. And then Rania turns up. She&rsquo;s desperate for a dragon and is prepared to overlook Garrodigh&rsquo;s quirks.</span></p> <p class="MsoHeader" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">You can see where this is going, but the beauty of it is the journey. The three dragon heads have distinct personalities. Centrehead<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>tries to keep his three personalities together. This took a tiny bit of getting into at first but the dragon's journey was engrossing, quirky and charming. Highly recommended.</span></p> <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jacey&ditemid=795728" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
