The Dragon's Child

An interesting little novella this taking on the theme of how absolute power can corrupt absolutely. The basis for the story revolves around dragons hidden in modern society - there immense wealth and power hidden through clever means. Their society ensures that they behave in a responsible and emotionless way. However, what happens when a dragon is raised by humans? An interesting question of how power and humanity interact is asked.

The prose is a little bit stilted in this for me. The ideas are grand and the questions asked are interesting, but I the writing didn't necessarily grab me as much as I might have wished.

An interesting concept and theme.
