So, how do you approach this dilemma?  It's free or almost free, it has charm and high energy, and it's a goofy fun read. It is also poorly edited and formatted, with lots of typos and some grammatical errors. Luckily, it isn't loaded with improperly used "big words" that demonstrate that the author has access to a thesaurus but has no idea what many words mean. I say "luckily" because that is a deal killer for me. As to the rest, I wouldn't assign this as required reading for students learning to use English properly, but I'm willing to bet that most adults could be exposed to such a poorly edited book and not lose their command of the language.In other words, I come out on the side of "read it!".Princess Ahira is snarky, but funny snarky and pretty decent-hearted to boot. Her dragon is elegant, charming and appealing. Secondary characters are lovably quirky. The love interest is dreamy and the romance angle is pretty much written as a bit of a mock on teen romances, (which I'm happy to assume is intentional). There are lots of funny non-girly spunky princesses out there in new books right now, and in fact lots of them are engaged in frustrating, upsetting and ultimately bonding with their confused dragons, but it seems to me that there's always room for one more in the pool. Especially if, as here, there is a high level of cheerful good-natured goofy fun.Please note that I found this book while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
