This story reads more like a prequel and doesn't feel worth the five bucks I paid for it. On the other hand it's a nicely written tale about a girl who finds a dragonet and they both have to overcome their fear of heights/flying in order to fulfill their special destiny (but not in this book).
This story lacks any conflict except for the girl's fear of heights which was brought on by one encounter and sparks nightmares and other reactions that I didn't quite buy into. Everyone liked the girl and her dragonet, so no people conflict. There was a potential problem about whether her important family would let her stay with the dragon school that could have developed into a conflict but all that vaporized into thin air and was never mentioned again. There was no fighting since everyone is peaceful now. And no idea at all about what this girl will do to fulfill her destiny besides a vague 'she needs to fly'. Though she was singled out as being super special, she never did anything in this book. Even the end was anticlimactic - I was expecting her to resolve her issue in a more dramatic way, but nope, didn't happen. We'll clearly have to wait a while before we see her doing anything to warrant her special status. And the overall arc that is introduced with the events in the past never gets resolved either - apparently that's in a future book as well.
I got the impression that we'll have five of these types of stories in total before we get into the main plot of how these special people will 'save the dragons'. If so, I think I'll pass until we actually get to the real action of saving rather than sitting around with more training, especially if they are priced the same as this story. The writing is fine, but I need more of a plot.

Sapphire and Lotus don't follow the typical dragon-human partners archetype-- They're not suddenly amazing, with a bunch of supe
