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.
