In one of the reviews somebody says one of the issues dealt with is love/lust. I read at quite a high level for my age (15), but my mother will not let me read anything with... ahem... inappropriate intimacy. Is there anything like that in Dragon Champion?

It has been a while since I read these, so I can only assume what scene they were referring to and to call it a conflict of love vs lust is well put. Basically the dragon hero is expected to take part in... a one-sided relationship and refuses.

But to answer your question, the intimacy is not detailed, only its presence is noticed or referenced by characters. When such does occur throughout the series, two dragons will fly as high as they can, embrace, fall, then separate. That pretty much how it is described minus some flowery bits. Hearts racing, etc.

Hope that helps.(less)

What is the recommended reading age for this series? My children are 11 and 9, both very high readers. Eragon is a favorite. Thanks for your help!

It's like a toned down version of Game of Thrones with dragons as the heroes in a Middle Earth-like world.

Something like the Wings of Fire series would suit you better if you're looking for dragon stories, which is like a toned down version of this.

There is still some violence and death in that, but is more kid friendly. The first chapter of the first book gives a good sample of what to expect from the worst scenes if you want to preview that before deciding.

Is this a good book? How advanced is it?

Dustin I really enjoyed when I read it in my teens. Haven't come back to it since.

Advanced? It is a bit mature-ish. These dragons lean far more towards wild animals than cute pets.

Sorry for the late response.(less)
