Product Description
From Library Journal
Summer is determined to find the man she loves?despite the fact that he is a dragon and, therefore, beyond her aspirations. She begins an arduous journey that takes her from the merchant city of Venice and along the Eastern spice-trade route to the mysterious Blue Mountain, where dragons are rumored to exist. This stand-alone sequel to Pigs Don't Fly (Baen Bks., dist. by S.&S.) employs standard fantasy themes?dragons, fair maidens, talking animals, and hidden treasures?and gives them new and sometimes rueful twists. Brown, a skillful writer, excels at creating vivid descriptions and well-rounded characters. A good choice for most fantasy collections.

what a let down!!,
By
This review is from: MASTER OF MANY TREASURES (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book as the full trilogy "The Unexpected Dragon" After "Pigs don't fly" it all went downhill from there. Don't get used to the character's in the story as they won't last for very long accept for her beloved dog poor old Growch who also was shamefully given and anti-climactic ending after all he endured. I actually burst into tears at ending out of the utter dissapointmnet and was half inclined to fling the book across the room and half enclined to toss it in the fireplace!! The heroes finally reach there destination thousands of miles and numerous near death instances and are crossing the threshold of their rewards for all they had been through and at the height of their happiness are burned to death because some idiot the heroine was too dumb to let die or get rid of finishes them off in the end only to live a long life and die saying ha! I beat them! (this is not the ending it gets worse) It does not tell you what happens to the dragon black Jasper and after being introduced to a whole new set of characters in the end that the author expects you to get attached to it still leaves the ending open and left me with the sense of being cheated and an idiot for investing my and emotion into reading the whole 852 pages of it! If you want to end up feeling sadness, hurt, betrayal and dissapointment this book is for you. I wish I could tell the author what I really felt about this book with all it's pompous acknowledgments! She should have spent more time around people willing to tell her the truth about her book- IT WAS AWEFUL!!!
