This is a cute and captivating story that makes you think. Medina has a good storyline with a well-developed mythology of dragons to back it up. Medina's writing draws you in and keeps you there. She describes everything brilliantly and keeps her readers completely in the loop. Unfortunately the large number of referenced to pop culture will date the story, taking away from the illusion of timelessness, but not from the story itself. There were also some punctuation and grammatical errors that broke the pace of the story a bit, but not too much. I did appreciate the very atypical ending to this story, even if it was a big shocker.The interesting characters really draw you in. Medina's cast of characters is quite well developed for a novella. They are individuals whom I'd love to see again. I love the unique take on the dragon concept and their interactions with humans.Overall, this was a good novella that would have made a brilliant novel had it been padded out a bit more and had some more time under an editor.
