A fun adventure story full of a wide cast of characters, fast-paced storytelling and steampunk goodies. This reminded me quite a bit of the good old Brian Jacques' Redwall books, although Windshifter's world really doesn't resemble Mossflower at all. Something about the charming story of the young dragon journeying to find his long-lost parents and meeting so many fun and interesting characters on the way sparked that happy feeling I used to get when reading the Redwall novels, back before they got too formulaic.
This reads pretty fast and was great escapism, and I really enjoyed having it set aside as my break-time book of choice at work.

Not your usual dragons. This was a great read, that kept me engaged. A story that is lighthearted, but not hiding its darker secrets. Quick character development allowed for the reader to keep their thoughts on the story at hand, while understanding the characters' points of view. Gread read.

Excellent YA styled novel about a lost dragon finding his roots, and saving a city in the process.
