Review

This story is again in the fable/fairy-tale style that Yolen seems to favor. The story is a more traditional fantasy subject of heros fighting dragons. The writing is well done and the characters well done. This comes across though as kind of simple and juvenile, even though it really isn’t. But that hinders it’s impact for me. An enjoyable story and recommended if you like fantasy and fables, but not great.
