Even though I received this from a YA group I think its better suited for preteens. Its a really well written story about a prince and a dragon becoming friends.I think my favorite thing about it is their way of speaking is more modernized, for example the prince refers to his fathers way of ruling as "old school".  I think because of this younger people will enjoy it as it makes it easier to read.The prince leaves/is exiled from his kingdom and after travelling finds another one to settle in. The king has made a decree that whoever kills the dragon will marry his daughter. Darinel has no desire to this this but the princess dares him and he can't refuse. His first trip up the mountain he meets the dragon and they become best friends. He of course has to keep this hidden, even from the princess who he is falling in love with. When the kingdom he's in has war declared on it Darinel is recruited to help.This is the first book in a series but I think it could be read as a stand alone since this adventure seems to come to a close at the end.I was given this copy by the author in exchange for a honest review. Thank you.
