Frequently asked questions
Does Dragon's Green need to be read in order?
Dragon's Green is the first book in the Effie Truelove series, and while it introduces the world and characters, it can be enjoyed as a standalone story. However, subsequent books build upon the magical system and character development established here.
How does Dragon's Green connect to Scarlett Thomas's other books?
Dragon's Green marks a significant shift for Scarlett Thomas into middle-grade fantasy, a departure from her previous adult literary fiction. While it retains her characteristic wit and philosophical undertones, it introduces a more overt magical system and a younger protagonist.
