My daughter told me to read this….it is fabulous! Exciting, emotional, the characters are engaging, I definitely want to be a dragon rider in my next life! Congratulations on creating a world where a 16 year old AND a 54 year old want to live in….as for the “spice” it’s not gratuitous, it’s the natural progression of young love so I had no worries about my mature 16 year old reading it.
