She agrees to wait to eat the human until he can finish making the chocolate. When she finds a stray human on their mountain she thinks she’s in luck: bringing a tasty human back to the cavern will surely impress her family! The human is suitably terrified of her and Aventurine is about to pounce when … wait … what’s that delicious-smelling food he’s cooking? It’s hot chocolate, which Aventurine has never heard of before. So one day she sneaks out of their caverns. How can she not, with a name like Aventurine? Aventurine’s mother encourages her to “find her passion” in studying history, math or philosophy, but Aventurine just wants to go explore and be free. Review first posted on Fantasy Literature:Ī young, golden-eyed dragon named Aventurine is chafing at the restrictions her family has placed on her: dragons aren’t allowed outside of the caverns until they’re 40 or 50 years old, when their wings are strong enough for flight and their scales have hardened enough to protect them against arrows and swords.
