This book was amazing. I love that the dragons can talk and I ADORE the bond between the main character and his dragon. It's so sweet and I found myself aww'ing more than a few times. 

There are some who view them as nothing more than tools or weapons. There's no helping that when humans are involved. However, the main character and the close secondary characters view them as beloved companions, caring for them as if they are family members.

I don't know how this author thought of historical england and dragons together, but I'm so happy she did, it's such a unique premise.
