Reeve seems to want to tell kids not to trust people all the important adults in this story are deceitful or irresponsible though not necessarily without some redeeming ualities The children have to look out for themselves which is as it should be in a children s book of courseParts of the book are well written particularly during the ascent of the mountain but there are fleeting passages that inflict disorienting head hopping on the reader The view points of all three main protagonists in less than a page is a violation of a fairly basic rule of novel writingIt feels like Reeve can never get it absolutely right unless he s working in his Mortal Engines world

This is a special entry in the dragon genre I think especially for kids It s about a boy realizing that the terrifying creature he s afraid of is really just an animal I think there s a line toward the end nod the devil s animal but just an animal I loved the way it dealt with that with the old fashioned Christian knight going to fight an evil beast narrative without making the dragon really any less for being an animal It s still magnificent and strange All the emotions were surprisingly realistic the boy calling himself selfish because he saved someone to avoid having to live with running away rather than because it s a noble or heroic or right thing to do All the feelings he has were slightly unexpected for me not just what you d expect but rang very true I m not sure how I feel about the situational mutism plot I think that s a bit overdone but it does do some work in the story not really for Ansel s character arc but to allow him deeper observations and limit his ability to affect others keeping the story fairly short It s a good length for younger readers not any longer than it needs to be but feels really complete as a story
