I can appreciate the style of writing. Other than that I really didn't like it. I loved the voice of the character, but that can carry a book only so far. 
 We never actually see a dragon except in pieces, or in the drawings if you want to count that. They are never written about. For a character who is very front line with her obsession she never sees any action. 
 Plus, I got ticked when they killed a dragon just to cut it open. WTF! Psychos leave the beautiful things alone before they eat you and I cheer.
