I Can’t Believe You Smashed My Glass Dragon Spaceship!

Wait. What? Yeah, you’re just going to have to read the book to find out. I really try not to spoil these books with my “reviews”, but it’s really hard not to give some detail. I mean, I don’t want to just regurgitate the synopsis as printed on the book. That’s not very creative. Continue reading I Can’t Believe You Smashed My Glass Dragon Spaceship!
