If you can’t have good luck, you should at least have a good dragon.
The princess has inherited the family curse. Plagued by terrible luck, it is all the palace staff can do to keep her safe from herself. When her father pricks himself with an assassin’s needle meant for her, her mother Queen Jade knows there is only one thing they can do. They must seek a cure. To reach it, they will need the help of their greatest protector. But even the great dragon Halfax may not be ready for the challenges ahead.
Halfax is a direct sequel to Jade. It takes place many years after the events of the Book of Deacon series.
This novella takes up the story after the events of Jade when Myn has gotten a little older, and i admit that i did have hopes that we may have found some of the answers to the questions that Jade had left festering in my mind: alas it was not to be.
Answers aside though, it's a well written novella set in one of my favourite series, so i'm not complaining too much about being kept in the dark. I'm sure Joseph will get around to filling in all the blanks for us in some future books.
An enjoyable addition to the story of Jade. It is my belief Mr. Lallo would be better at writing full novels rather than simple shorts when it comes to this series, however this story is still delightful as a short.
