Disclaimer: I love dragons so I am biased :)I also love truly strong heroines, so again, biased. For a dragon book with a heroine that packs punch, try Robin McKinley's "The Hero and the Crown," or Allison Goodman's "Eon." 
 This book was just boring, actually. The dragon was charming, but the main characters were more concerned about their "love lives" or lack thereof, than much else, and worst of all, it defined their self-image, though I don't think that was the author's intent. 
 Reminded very much of Twilight, if the writing was better and Edward was a dragon (not in love with Bella). 'Nuff said.
