Rating: Not for me

Reading Level: Mid-Late Elementary, Middle School

A clever, amicable dragon wishes he had magic powers so he could overcome a powerful, evil villain. A major theme is that of whether it is ok to control others for “the greater good,” e.g.to force peace. This book would could open up great conversations about free will: if you create a dragon and force it to magically love you, is it really love? If you could firce dragons to live without war would you do it?

Possible concerns:

  • Magic. Using magic is a primary theme.
  • Violence. Dragons eat/fight/kill/imprison each other, humans, and beasts.
  • Oppressive rulers. Wars, treason, tyranny, etc. In this case there is also a mind-controlling tyrant.
  • Darkness. Starting with Book 6, the books just got really dark and especially full of the occult. It was a bit heavy for me and affected my mood.
  • Romance. Several dragons have crushes, and crushes end up being a major part of this quintet (much more than in the firs ton)..
  • Conservatives on the structure of the family may wish to know the final chapters include subtle references to same-sex crushes/marriages.
