I'm sorry.

Can someone please explain to me how a CHILDREN'S book that has DRAWINGS on every other page can possibly make me feel all the emotions I'm feeling right now.

This was supposed to be a cute fun series I read in between all the other books that hit me too hard emotionally, and here I am, crying over a children's book.

This book is just so relateable in so many ways. It's probably odd to think about a book about dragons and vikings with the main character being a preteen can be so relateable. And yet... this book touches on so many important subjects. The importance of friendship and family and bravery. How bravery comes in so many forms. How hard growing up can be. How things that are really worth it in the end, probably have to be done the hard way.

I never expected to become so emotionally invested in these books. I think of my earlier reviews of the earlier books, and I talk about how cute and fun they are. They still are, but they're also so deep and amazing and I recommend them to anyone of any age. Anyway, this review must end because I need to immediately pick up How to Betray a Dragon's Hero.
