Excellent continuation of the story. For fans of the series. Must read in order, starting with the original Unwanteds series. For grades 4 & up.

Okay, so it's a cute book with ships sailing and hearts broken. I like the new Thisbe, she's more wild and rebellious in a good way. She still thinks about all those she loves and acts upon her instincts of protecting her only family after Alex's death (very sad). Fifer is getting kinda annoying, I don't like how she wished she's still in command when her leadership had to lead them to more disaster. Honestly why host a party after a stroke of luck. It's not any better that she's lashing out all her feelings on those around her. Sky is just so sweet and considerate of Fifer and everyone, but Aaron shouldn't have let go of his cape and leadership of Artemis. The people under his rule are just stupid of all his struggles to become a better person. Looking forward to the next book!

Första halvan var riktigt seg och jag fick typ pina mig igenom den. Det känns som att många av de vuxna karaktärerna är som en 13-åring önskar att vuxna människor ska vara, och inte hur de faktiskt är. Som (iaf till åldern, mognadsmässigt kan vi diskutera) vuxen är det ofta ganska provocerande. Jag är också lite förvånad övar att den inte slutar i en massiv cliffhanger som verkar vara lite av Lisas stil.

In Dragon Curse, we’re most likely at the half way point of the series and this book shows for it. Tensions are rising from multiple sides and civil war is brewing. The Unwanteds are stuck in the middle of it, being pulled in different directions. Almost everything didn’t go as planned.
Although I would rather have the Unwanteds not experience any of this, I am sort of happy that we’re now at the turning point in the series. It shows that in the future books of the series, details and events are going to be picked up. I’m sure it is going to be as eventful as the last few books in the remaining series. The new Unwanteds are going to show exactly what they’re made of against a bigger and stronger foe.
In my opinion, the later books in the original series were always the best and that is exactly what I’m hoping for this series as well. This book served as the perfect midway point to move things forward and I am excited to see how the events unfold and what happens as a result of it.

I did not like Fifer in this book. She was a huge, jealous jerk to Thisbe and it made me very sad and mad. Though the scene with the ball was quite fun, Fifer obsessed over it too much when there was more important matters. She is starting to turn into Alex, and not necessarily in a good way... This one was great, onto the next and last for a month or so!

I'm going to start off with some general information about the series.
This series is a middle grade(i thought so at least, there are some dark stuff in here?) high fantasy. The main theme that it starts off with is the beauty of creativity. I think it accomplishes what it was trying to do very well. I think it was trying to create a sense of wonder, and that is exactly what I feel when I think about this series and world. I was reminded of the original series when I started this sequel series a few months ago. I have very fond feelings toward it and am excited to see more of the story in this world through the sequel series(lots of dragons in this one!).
I enjoyed the book. I couldn't stop reading and was drawn into the story the entire time. Mind you, it has its flaws. For example(and the only example I can think of), it has a plot convenience at the end... which made me laugh. I didn't mind it at all.
Anyway, loved reading this. I will continue with the series soon.
