“Colorful.”—Publishers Weekly
“Joyous fantasy with continuous action and a creative cast of characters.”—SFRevu
Review
“
Dragons Wild is a lot more straightforward urban fantasy, complete with the semi-standard trappings of a secret race of supernatural beings dwelling amongst, and influencing, normal people. But Asprin pulls it off with skill and style, delivering a thoroughly satisfying, energetic story that begs for continuation. In fact, its actually one of the best things Ive ever read from him, in terms of entertainment and atmospheric value…Is it fun? Oh yes.”—
The Green Man Review
“Asprin tackles a new kind of comic fantasy, a little more serious and hard-boiled than previous books.”—Library Journal

“This is the start of what looks like will be a great urban fantasy series that is funky, funny, and fun…Robert Asprin has begun another fine myth with his first entry in his wild dragon culture.”—Midwest Book Review
