This is a quick read and a good first entry into the Dragon Kin series. Having now read seven subsequent books in the series, I can confidently say that, though foundational, Dragon Actually is the weakest of them all in plot, characters, diversity, and writing, but if you stick with the series, it gets better and better. It has been a pleasure to witness the author's growth as a writer and storyteller.
