I was reading this to my 6-year-old and am very grateful that he wasn't interested enough in the plot to complain when we "forgot" to read the last couple of chapters together, because he's a very compassionate and empathetic sort who gets his little heart broken every time anything bad happens to a character, and I'm not sure he could have handled the ending of this one. ♥

i didn’t like how fight went down or how it seems that the dragons where a relatively small part and almost easily forgotten by everyone in the book of the story for playing a big role in the story.
still overall a nice story and k would recommend it if you don’t mind fantasy animal deaths.

Overall though, this story was pretty mediocre. The writing itself is good but the story is bland and at the end, I was asking myself what was the point?

It's at times a dark and emotional story, which does not shield children from the traumas of war. Parents may wish to read it first before passing it on to their children as some kids will cope with it better than others.
I was vaguely unsatisfied by the ending, which I found a bit too abrupt and - spoiler warning - the bittersweet nature of the ending has me conflicted (I don't necessarily think it was a bad choice, I'm basically undecided on whether it was or not, and I definitely wish it was written differently). I think with a different ending I might have given the book a higher rating.
On the whole though I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to adults as well as (some) children.
