This book by all means is great,not in just my opinion but also the majority of the people who reviewed this book. So what if the book has a 2 side plots, or Hey those names are stolen. Hell if u wrote a book these days it would be quite rare to come with a badass name for a character, then all of sudden its plagirism WTF. CMON ppl think. Ideas are being used up everyday, and with this book it makes no exception, but the thing that got me interested was the fact that, the things u do in life reflect others. And the fact u can talk to a dragon through your thoughts with it understanding u and nobody noticing, just think about it what if u can talk to a exotic creature such as a dragon and be bestowed amazing power only a chosen few have (yes this idea has been used before so bite me) so others may envy u, quite a thought eh. Well anyhowo this book belongs in your collection especially if your a lonely person looking for fantasy. Or talking to a female lizard.
