Review: So-So Plot and Characterization
Rating: 2 out of 5

I found Dragon Fire to be mediocre in both plot and characterization.  All the characters were 2-dimensional, either entirely good (if occasionally stupid) or entirely bad.  In addition, I found the geography of the kingdom to be totally unbelievable:  An island so small that two boys on foot get from their 'totally isolated' village to the main citadel in 2 days?  On foot?  And yet the bad guys haven't figured out where their biggest enemy is hiding-in-plain-sight in 30 years?Nothing original in the magic, in the love story or in the background.  I kept hoping there would be something important in the weird forest or even in the magician/dragon, but it ended as formula-driven as it started.
