I was pretty excited to read this because I am always on the hunt for great dragon stories (and the cover's rad as hell).

Unfortunately, I DNF'd after the first two chapters (10% in). This story had no conflict. No goals. No anything. The first chapter was spent running with the character as he mulled over life in the woods, and the second chapter was him mulling over a painting he couldn't remember painting. Doesn't have to be explosions, but I would have loved to see a villain right off the bat, or have some conflict to be resolved so I have a reason to root for this character.
