A dangerous, jealous, hot-tempered dragon learns social skills. She begins to trust and be trusted in healthy ways rather than to be codependent in unhealthy power relationships.
Possible concerns:
Mental health. The dragon struggles with jealousy, codependency, and somewhat obsessive romantic feelings.
Violence. Dragons eat/fight/kill/imprison each other, humans, and beasts.
Oppressive rulers. Wars, treason, tyranny, etc. In this case there are also oppressive relationships.
Unhealthy Romance. The dragon is infatuated with one of the heroes from the original quintet.
Darkness. Starting in book 6, these books just got dark and I felt a stronger sense of it affecting my mood.
Conservatives on the structure of the family may not like that later in the series some characters end up pursuing homosexual relationships. I noticed this mainly in Book 10.
If you let your kids read this one, be sure to have conversations about jealousy. (Healthy relationships are not obsessive and they allow for friendships and freedom.) It is also worth discussing issues of accountability for one’s actions even if told by an authority to do something. This dragon was raised to be a murderer and has countless deaths on her hands. She often says, “I was just doing what I was told.”
