This was my first of Peter S. Beagle's work and the title/cover totally drew me in. Overall, it was an enjoyable story and I liked the portrayal of dragons in this medieval setting. Unfortunately, it was kind of just okay. I never found myself hooked into the story or really loving the characters. I am interested in trying more of Peter S. Beagle's work to see if this was a one-off where I wasn't pulled in to the story or if his work just isn't for me.
