Like the first one in that it was a short but sweet and cosy read!
The premise of this was actually really interesting: what if you hatched a dragon but it didn't show any interest in bonding with you? And it delivered with a fun adventure, a wacky cast of characters and plenty of heart and humour.
The expansion of the world from the first book was also a really nice, and I could really tell the author was having so much fun writing it. The enthusiasm and joy bled through and made this a really lovely reading experience.
That said, I don't think the humour landed with me as much as Upscaled's did. It felt a lot more silly rather than satirical like Upscaled and it just didn't quite hit the same. But I'd still reccommed checking out this book if you liked the first one and/or you're looking for a short, silly dragon adventure!

a hilarious and heartwarming sequel! This is a charming continuation filled with all the delightful humor of the first! There's even sillier logic this time around, enemies who are less evil and more incompetent, and the silly nonsense that made me giggle, cackle, and snort. just as entertaining as the first, we now follow Ailís brother as he deals with the drama of a newborn... only, there's not really that much drama there. no, the dragon is fine. it's the Gnomes that are the problem! time to head into the grand city where sarcasm seams to be a dead art, and Logic seams to be lost forever. this charming book is packed with wild and hilarious characters and of course, we get to see the fascinating way eight year old Camaráin thinks. in a world with little common sense, he seams to have too much, leading to some quite hilarious moments. a must read good for all ages!

Dragon Along is the second book in The Dragons of Nóra series. In this book, we follow different characters from the previous book. Camaráin and his dragon, Brían, don’t share the same bond that his sister has with her dragon. When Camaráin’s grandparents invite him to their new home, he and Brían embark on an adventure of their own. This was such a great sequel to Upscaled. The humorous tone remains consistent with the first book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While it appears that this is the end of this beautiful series for now, I hope the author returns to this world in the future. If you're looking for a light hearted and funny adventure story to read, I highly recommend this series. Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Upscaled. This one’s enjoyable too, but not quite on the same level. If Upscaled was Thor: Ragnarok, Dragon Along is Love and Thunder: heavier on the jokes, but they don’t always land. Lots of random ramblings. Sweet story overall, and I’m sure it’ll find its audience. Turns out, I’m just not one of them.

This was cute, and had some fun moments. The funniest moment for me was the gnome chaos, and the grandpa rushing to the bathroom 😂 Unfortunately though, I didn't enjoy this as much as I was hoping to. I love a good dragon book, but I didn't feel like the dragon's presence was as engaging. I haven't read Upscaled, and it sounds like it might have been more eventful.

Considering just the story of this novel, somehow I didn't feel any connect to these characters. The humor didn't always land - sometimes it was a bit too silly for my taste. The plot and pacing were too slow for my liking, and the conversations were really <i> dragon along....</i> 😅

I'm used to reading middle-grade fantasy books, and have read some amazing ones that I love - but maybe this is meant for even younger kids, since Cam was 8?

In any case, taste for humour can be very specific for everyone, so while this wasn't my style of humour, it could be yours! I love the covers of both the books in this series - that is what had attracted me to them, as well as the fun premise of Upscaled.
