Girl with the Dragon Heart is her story, set not very long after the events of book one, and if there’s slightly less chocolate involved this time around, it’s still a fantastic read. Silver-tongued Silke was introduced in DwaCH as a brilliantly flamboyant, wickedly clever, and incredibly loyal and determined young girl who helped Aventurine find her Life’s Passion – and was instrumental in keeping the Chocolate Heart, the chocolatier’s that is the main setting for the first book, afloat when all hope seemed lost. A combination of things slowed my reading down immensely, but it was all external stuff – work, winter holidays, that sort of thing.īecause Girl With a Dragon Heart is WONDERFUL! I admit, I wince a little when I look at how long it took me to finish this – I started reading it in Sept 2018 and didn’t finish until June 2019! – but that is absolutely not the fault of the book, which I neglected shamefully. So you can imagine how excited I was when I learned there was going to be a sequel! That was not a mistake Burgis writes the kind of MG that packs a punch for adults too, and DwaCH is now one of my all-time favourite books. The first book in this series, The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart, won me over with its premise – dragons! chocolate! found-families! – so that I pre-ordered it despite it being a Middle Grade book.
