It’s hard to give an interesting synopsis of this story without spoiling its second half, because that’s when the fun stuff really happens. The hero is Éibhear the Contemptible, who has since joined the berserker suicide squad Mì-runach and become one of its most feared warriors. Iseabail, the daughter of Talaith and Briec, has come a long way from that crazy psychopath teenage girl – she is now a full-grown adult psychopath who leads several legions in the army of the psychopath Annwyl the Bloody. So, this time around, the spotlight is on two familiar characters that have become increasingly prominent as the series progresses. Even if you don’t, just nod anyway, because I’m not in the mood to recap details from the previous five books. I’d assume in this review that you are familiar with the background of the series. But who knows, you’d probably be too busy laughing to care if you have a taste for violent and often macabre humor. Just be careful that the large cast of characters need some time and effort to figure out. This one is actually a pretty decent standalone story as the plot in these pages is self-contained. If you happened to have purchased this book without prior knowledge of the previous books, however, don’t fret. I think it goes without saying that you shouldn’t be reading this one without having read the previous books, preferably in order. How to Drive a Dragon Crazy is the sixth book in GA Aiken’s Dragon Kin series.

Even now, the Irish Burke’s anglophile confidence in his deeply held conservative position remains fairly breathtaking: Within a few months, he had produced this brilliant pamphlet – cast in the form of a letter “to a gentleman in Paris” – an instant bestseller, and a rhetorical tour de force that, in the words of the scholar Stephen Greenblatt, has become the “most eloquent statement of British conservatism favouring monarchy, aristocracy, property, hereditary succession, and the wisdom of the ages”. Price’s fiery provocation stirred Burke deeply. But Edmund Burke – a passionate conservative – was appalled by Price’s suggestion that the English king owed his position to his people, who should be at liberty to arraign him for misconduct.
