A cute little book. At times it was hard to tell if it was meant for adults or YA, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. The author had some interesting takes on naming conventions that I found amusing and it was very interesting seeing the story from the perspective of the dragon, something you don't see too often in fiction, which is generally human-protagonist dominant. The internal mythbuilding as it relates to the book was comfortable and inventive.

This story has so much potential, but it needs a little more work. The ending came on a little too quickly, and was not up to par with the rest of the story. I also thought the male dragon, B Fwial, was a little lame and superficial in not agreeing to be Tephra s mate until he saw what she really looked like. In his words So I want to see you. The real you . He already expressed admiration of her personality and intelligence, wasn t that the real Tephra? Was she beautiful or ugly, he wanted to know, and would not agree to be her mate until he found out. You will have to read the story to discover what he found out.[return][return]The illustrations were magnificent. I especially enjoyed the one with the dragon, the king, and the parrot, which was a terrific choice of graphic for that chapter. Overall I did enjoy this story and hope the author writes more, but takes more time in giving the ending of the story the same amount of depth as the beginning.
