Mercedes Lackey's depiction of the dragons and the world feels so immersive. I'm curious whether she had a specific myth or legend in mind or if it grew organically during writing.

The detailed diplomacy scenes added depth, but I wondered if it was meant to build tension or just to flesh out the world more fully.

The dragons seem to embody a different kind of wisdom and power. I’d love to hear thoughts on how their roles shape the overall message of the story.
