The Pygmy Dragon by Marc Secchia sounds intriguing and beckons sci-fi lovers to take a look. Foremost, the cover page is captivating, it is a very good work of art. Also, one thing that seems rare in pip's attitude is the way she balances her human nature plus shapeshifting into a dragon. One would believe that she would be fueled with rage against anyone who might have wronged her. This book sounds amazing. Thank you for such a good review.

Great review. I love stories of dragons and Pip seems like an amazing character. I hate that she was abused and put in a cage. I’m interested in how she lives through this and how changing into a dragon helps her.

I was skeptical about reading another dragon story. Having read the review, I am convinced Pip's story is one I need to add to my tbr list. A shape shifting pygmy lady who turns into a dragon...mind blowing. Glad the book is professionally edited and well developed.

I used to love dragon stories back in the day. It's nice to see that the author taking the old school premise and giving it a fresh story. Interesting read for sure...

This sounds like a fabulous fantasy. I love the author's description of himself; it's clever, and it makes me curious about the actual story. Thanks for a fabulous review. I'll put this on my list.

I can hardly wait to read this book. Poor Pip. Dragons and humongous apes add to the desire to read this book. I love dragons.

The fun and complexities of a dragon-shapeshifter is one of my favorite stories to read, especially when it is done well. I'm looking forward to sitting down and getting to know Pip for myself!

After years of living in the zoo, Pip is hungry to be acknowledged as a human being. However, when she is rescued by the red dragon Zardon, she soon finds out that she is not just human. It is no spoiler to state that Pip can shapeshift into a bronze dragon. Pip is an amazing character that I will remember for years to come.
A fantasy tale about a beautiful woman who can shapeshift into a bronze dragon. Wow, it sounds a must-read for fans of the genre! Although I am not the target audience, I got my copy.
Glad you enjoyed it and that the book is well edited!
Thank you for the review! :tiphat:

I liked Pip's prologue and the introductory sentence: "Yesterday a dragon kidnapped me from my cage in a zoo." I also enjoyed the idea of a Pygmy girl recounting her adventures and the author's use of original elements such as the name-tattoo marked in runic script and symbolizing Pip's battle name. Thanks for your review!

Thanks for the review. I love reading fantasy stories involving dragons. A human who can shape-shifting to a bronze dragon has raised by curiosity so will definitely read this book.
