"Maybe it only hunts things with osteoporosis."

Have just dropped by library and consequently started reading McKinley's Dragonhaven on the way home. The story is in first person and the protagonist reminds me unerringly of Mike, had he been raised on a reserve with dragons (of all things) and had to deal with nature reserve / research institute funding shenanigans. It's like if Mike were in Albert's job, from the "Alby and the Manticore" short story by Moonsheen. (You can read it for free online here and it's awesome. I highly recommend it.) It is, frankly, really weird. And I'm not even five chapters in and I'm already worried that someone will get set on fire by accident.
