I'm pretty sure I did, because the dragon's name sounds reaaally familiar and because I went through a phase where I read like, everything Vivian Vande Velde ever wrote. xD Dragon books are the besssst. Have you ever read Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles?

Haha, same. Even though a lot of it's crap. Though once I realized that most "adult" literature of the sci-fi/fantasy variety were just as bad, if not worse, so who cares.
