As a huge fan of stories that incorporate fairy tale elements, I was pretty happy to see Cross Infinite World pick up a light novel that does just that. From Princess Lala fleeing her castle because of the traitor Lord Designs to Lady Megan with her black magic mirror to black knights, witches, and dragons, this story is full of fun fantasy and fairy tale elements. The first half of the novel does a good job with introducing the different characters and establishing their distinctly different personalities. The clash between Dragon and Knight over how to raise Lala was a lot of fun to read.

The second half is where all the action really kicks in with fighting the undead and air battles from the back of the dragon. I would say this is Cross Infinite World's most action-packed light novel to date. And the action is handled really well too. My only gripe is that this is a standalone novel and we won't be able to see what adventures lie in wait for the characters next. Overall, this is a fun read and I can recommend it to anyone looking for an action-oriented dark fantasy/fairy tale story with dragons. The dragon has a much bigger role than I was expecting, which was a very pleasant surprise! Too many stories toss out that they have dragons and barely do anything with them. If you like the Dragonheart movies, I'm pretty sure you'll like this too! I'm huge fan of the first movie, and I kept hearing the dragon from this speaking in Sean Connery's voice because of it!
