This was a pleasant read once I got used to all of the typos and the kindle conversion problems.  It was a bit too simplistic a story to be considered riveting.  About a third of the way in I realized this was headed toward a series in which case I would have expected more in depth character development, to include the dragons and more emphasis on some goal that had to be reached.  At this point the story lacked  real definition primarily because the characters were too flat or to mysterious.  For example, one of the mages appears to be developing a distaste for mage history but other than the story told by one character to his son there is no real understanding of how there came to be mages, dragons, humans and earth magic.  And just as I was wondering how mages came into existance, and if any were females, there appears a female who may be a mage who has parents......I see a lot of potential elements in the story .  I will read the next one if I remember to look for it but won't be waiting with bated breath for the next in the series.
