Other than the books my son loved when he was younger, that we would pore over for hours at a time, I never read a book that had dragons in it; however, I have to say, I really enjoyed this story.
The author, Duncan M. Hamilton, brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters: there is the dragon, who I couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for in the beginning until he sets out on a path of revenge; the former member of the King's personal guard who spends most of his days drinking and mourning his dead wife and child until he is called upon to kill the dragon; and the young woman who was born with magical abilities who has to hide it because anyone with magic can be put to death. I loved this set of people and thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent immersed in their world. Of course, like any good story, there are a few characters that I did not like at all, who only cared for their own plots against others to work out to their own advantage.
Another really great thing about this book is that it does not contain sex or cursing, so it is a good one to share with the younger members of your family.
