I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book (The Book of Earth) and found a good portion rather rambling and boring. N'Doch is not a good hero. In fact he's living in a future time (2013) which is incredibly dangerous and a hand to mouth existence without real family. His deal is just to take what he can and sell it for food. So his first inclination is to "sell" the dragons to a movie studio (the owner just happens to live in town.) It takes a long time for him to grow up and get with the program. They spend most of the book just running from one form of trouble to another before they actually get down to the purpose of the quest.

This is classified as YA but N'Doch is sex crazed and always talking about sleeping with every female he sees. Heck he even thought about having sex with Water. Erde also has weird sexual ideas about Kothen (and she's only 14, while Kothen is 30). It just seemed inappropriate in this series.
