The Dragon Has Some Complaints
by John Wiswell
Why read it
This charming, subversive fantasy turns typical dragon-rider tropes upside down by placing the narrative squarely in the perspective of a multi-headed beast. After losing one of his heads in a skirmish, the surviving trio—each possessing wildly clashing temperaments, from bloodthirsty to oblivious—schemes to infiltrate a flight academy under the guise of an obedient, domesticated mount just to score easy meals and shelter. It delivers an inventive mix of dry wit, non-human viewpoint humor, disability themes, and heartfelt found family.
Where to get it
Available in the Netherlands through major online retailers like bol.com and Amazon.nl, and on order via international bookshops such as Waterstones Amsterdam or American Book Center. For digital formats, check Kobo, Apple Books, and Kindle for the ebook, or Audible for the audiobook edition. Dutch public libraries may carry digital foreign fiction releases depending on catalog rotation.
What to expect
Witty, tender, and breezy with an accessible reading level. The pace balances cozy interpersonal bonding with occasional bursts of wartime fantasy action. Content notes include references to past physical trauma and limb/head loss, mild fantasy violence, and themes of coping with bodily injury and recovery.
