Dealing with Dragons

The portrayal of dragons as fearsome villains is common, so I wonder what motivated the author to flip that idea and make them more nuanced characters.

Her willingness to challenge expectations was inspiring, but I kept thinking about how that kind of bravery might play out in real life. Was that a deliberate message from the author?

Balancing humor and adventure with deeper messages about acceptance makes for a unique reading experience. I’m curious if the tone was a conscious choice to make these themes more approachable.
