“Ain’t you seen the movies?” bemoans swamp rat Everett “Squib” Moreau, some way into Highfire. “Meeting a dragon is supposed to be cool!”
The nine-fingered teenager – there’s a clue in the nickname – has a point. Vern (short for Wyvern), the fire-breathing, seven-foot reptile who lives just down. Instead, he’s a surly, vodka-drinking, mass-murdering manic depressive with a bitter grudge against all humans because, y’know, they killed off all the rest of his kind. At least by this point in the novel Vern isn’t trying to kill Squib any longer.
