Personally, I grew out of reading books about dragons about 30 years ago, so it makes no difference in my case.

A sentence from his web site:
"When the Royal Wizard of Westland poisons the king so
that his puppet prince can take the throne and start a
continental war, a young squire is forced to run for his
life carrying the powerful sword that his dying monarch
burdened him with from the death bed."
There are two types of reactions to that sentence: one is those who think "wow, I think I'll give that a try." The other is those who back away slowly then after a few paces turn and run in the opposite direction.
For either side, I would think, if you don't "get" the other side's reaction, it can't be explained to you.
