I love McCaffrey’s dragon books ☺️ this one was more of a novella but still very good. Makes you wish you could have a fire lizard of your own. A dog is pretty close though. Mine eats my food and sits on my shoulder anyway.

4.0

I adore this book. I’m really partial to stories with dragons and wilderness survival, so it’s a perfect match. It’s a very melancholic book, the characters aren’t happy very often, but it’s a tale of strength and survival and being true to yourself. I really sympathize and believe in Menolly.
