Plot and characters are good. The writing style is frustrating and unenjoyable to read. The book doesn't really add anything extra from the show, so I'd really recommend just watching the show and searching the internet for any extra details that were added in the book.

The Dragon Prince novellisations offer further insight into events and lives/thoughts of characters that are difficult to show within the series. Because of this they give the reader a deeper sense of fondness for the characters.
Though the books are canon there are some minor contradictions and discrepencies but rarely are the changes significant.
It's fascinating to be able to see characters such as Viren and Runaan through their own eyes and through the eyes of their children. Occassionally getting the narrative through the eyes of animal characters such as Zym and Bait is also fun as it gives the reader a better understanding of what Ezran knows about them.
A great read for any Dragon Prince fan that wants a deeper understanding of the lore and story.

4.5 stars for the cuteness. I noticed the narration has improved from the first book, adding a little bit more depth to the characters. However, it still lacks world depth. Magic is still something happening somehow without explanation. The connection between Ezran and animals is treated very superficially. I would love to see the narration taking some steps further and becoming more mature. So far it's clear that the target in mind is children or middle grade. The public is not only composed by kids and, yeah personally, I would love to have more explanations about magic and characters relationship with it.
I won't understand people who rate a book before it even comes out.

I needed this lol because I had totally conflated many of the events of s2 and s3. Again, pretty much scene for scene what happens in the tv show, but I was still touched by how they handled grief. There were also some great additional details that really cemented the magic system that I enjoyed.
