This is a fun read, with plenty of action and a feisty heroine. Aside from the dragons, I particularly loved the horses, and I think it's a great choice if you're a horse fan too.

A very good book. I like that the characters set out to kill dragons, but ended up being friends with them. Definitely worth reading if you haven't read it, and re-reading if you have!
