I liked this book. This was my first book by these authors and my first book about dragons. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was definitely well done. I've only recently gotten into fantasy books. So far my favorite is Elantris.Anyway, two things I always look for in a book are clean language and no sex scenes. This book had a lttle swearing and the F word was used once, maybe twice. There are several passionate scenes, not super graphic, but I wouldn't want my neices or nephews to read it. I would give this a rating of somewhere between PG-13 and R. The language and sex scenes bothered me enough that I'm still debating about whether I want to read the next book, however I'm fairly conservative so if that kind of thing doesn't bother you, and you like dragons or fantasy, you'll probably love this book!
