If the writing style of this author didn't annoy me, I'd give this book and series four stars. Dragons versus the world in a make believe land. Ryan likes to center his chapters on the main characters going back and forth. Given there are maybe five characters of note, he will take each one in turn. His nasty and irksome habit is to end each chapter with something "about to happen." I call them cliff hangers. However, most outcomes are predictable once you get used to his story's theme.

This series of three books could have easily been one single book.
