I enjoyed this story. All the characters were interesting. The plot, although not totally original, was engaging. I highly recommend it.The story is about a teen boy in a feudal society living on a lord's estate. He wants to become a magician's apprentice. He has two close friends, a boy and a girl. A bully picks on him, but that is eventually resolved, and a true monster appears. For all the talk in the synopsis about a dragon, it isn't until at least a third of the story has gone by that he finds her. Many adventures ensue.It seems that a number of reviewers were pretty bent out of shape about "alternative lifestyles." There was ONE KISS. No one in the book was bothered by it. I found this story in the gay section, so I for one was a bit disappointed in how tame it was.I did not like that scenes and points of view often changed without any break or warning. The author in my opinion was way too wordy, and went on at length with irrelevant details. He also used 'lead' every time he meant 'led,' and there were also several other similar words mixed up.
