“The art of sniping is the cold-blooded killing of another person and a kind of science that needs to be learned and improved. Often I heard the opinion that a sniper should hate the enemy, but I was convinced that those who hated a lot did not become good snipers. I preferred people who were cold and level-headed. Hunters who do not feel hatred for their prey, but consider it the most important thing for themselves to get close to it and destroy it ... ". These words of Clifford Shore became the epigraph of Oleg Ryazanov's book "The History of Sniper Art",

The story is well written. But I would like to note that now in the world there are terrorists, sadists, maniacs who brutally kill other people, sometimes because of their nationality. This problem is now more relevant than hatred for non-existent dragons. But if the author tried to raise this topic through such a story, then I support him.
