4.0

An enjoyable and engaging story over all, I especially enjoyed the unusual Spock-like take on dragons. It did fall prey to one of the classic blunders of writing a romance where one person is already in a relationship, but in the end I *mostly* liked how that was handled. I'm definitely planning to read the companion book.

Content Warnings

Minor: Death

There's enough content to caution younger readers, but nothing graphic. Sex is referenced several times, always in an indirect or veiled way, though sometimes the implication is quite dirty. Nudity is mentioned, never described. Same with kisses, they happen, but with little detail. There is implication of a homosexual couple. There is some violence, danger, injury, and even death, but the descriptions stay basic and don't go overboard on detail.
