Will There Be Dragons?

Probably not.

One of my younger cousins who's looking forward to the first Wrong Sword book asked me if there would be dragons, dragon-slaying, and perhaps even dragon BBQ. Sadly, no - not in this series, anyway. There's a single root to all the "magic" that happens in The Excalibur Trick and its sequels...and I couldn't figure a way to include dragons in it. Ah, well.
