As Good As Book 1
"Dragon Unbound" is a great followup to "The Dragon's Squire"! It's just as good as the first book - full of wonders, emotional trials, and adventure.
As was the case with Book 1, my only real complaint with this installment is that some of the dialogue struck me as being too modern for the medieval fantasy setting. I also noticed a few typos in this one. But I enjoyed the book so much that I just ignored them and kept reading.
There's VERY tight continuity between the first book and this one. So, read Book 1 first. Then make sure that you read "Dragon Unbound"!
