I first read this when this came out (I was in middle school then), and now I've just read it again as an adult. As many have said, it is super trope-y, but it's to be expected when it's the work of a 16-year-old. Beat for beat, it's basically Star Wars: A New Hope, but with dragons. I remember really liking this as a kid, but it's super violent, which I don't so much like now.

A compelling start to series. Many things that occur in this book set up later events in the series.
