Thank you for an excellent and enjoyable read. On the question of age - we know that Sil Vor is not yet hafling, a bit old for the nursery, old enough to train in self defense, and old enough to carry a weapon. What "I" particularly liked is the author's deft touch with voice. Sil Vor is the child who because of "Plan B" must too soon come the adult. Through Necessity he has done and does a credible job in the extreme - the future Delm perhaps. But Sil Vor is still a child, therefore, his "voice" in the narrative is at times uncertain in its maturity. I was pleased to see Anthora helping smooth things out. Let him enjoy what is left of his childhood. Sil Vor has the mettle to become a very great Dragon indeed!
