Review: A short yet interesting beginning to a (hopefully) epic fantasy series

I just finished reading this first installment of the "Crimzon and Clover" series and I was impressed.  I wasn't sure if this was going to be a "Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones" clone but thankfully it had its own, unique feel to it.  The story is quite short (I read the whole thing in about 45 minutes), but it sets up the two main characters very well.  A young dragon (Crimzon) is left alone after his mother is killed, and has to rely on help from a human stranger (Clover) to survive.  Clover is just an inexperienced girl who really has no skills in combat, and by the end of the story she will be tested by a group of ruthless treasure seekers.I was impressed at how well-written the story was.  Almost the entire first half of the story is without dialogue and there is a lot of descriptive passages that are very well done.I look forward to reading the next chapter in this series.
