Review of 'The Dragon Prince, Book One' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I loved it, it was so nice to go through the first season again with a book! I did not want it to finish, I found myself to want always more.
On the other hand, I expected a bit more in-depth characterisation and more aspects that were not shown in the TV series. I would recommend it to all fans of Dragon Prince, though, since it adds more personality to the characters. However, if you have not watched the TV series, I am not sure if you could appreciate it enough, because the writing is very simple, barely contains description the lore and lacks solid characterization.
