I enjoyed the world building – the dragons in particular were engaging and included some interesting detail.
On the other hand, I found the characters of the children harder to engage with. While we are given a very brief introduction to them in the beginning, as a reader, I would have liked a little more time getting to know them and understand their relationships before jumping straight into the action.
