Dragon Champion

Beth and I are doing a trade.  She is reading all of the Twilight books, and I am reading E. E. Knight's Age of Fire series, starting with Dragon Champion.  I guess I liked this book. It was OK. It was interesting to read a story from the perspective of a dragon set in a world not centered on the existence of humans.  I will give the author that - the world he created with all of the races and their relationship to one another is really cool.  However, I found that this book read kind of slow, and I thought that the descriptive parts and character development were kind of weak in general.  For a while I thought this book was just going to be about AuRon, the main character dragon dude, being shot at by arrows of various sizes and points.  Arrows and eating children.  It did get better toward the end, where you learn more about the history of the dragons and the more complicated relationships between the different races.  I did start the second book, and it is holding my interest a little better, so I'm going to push forward.
