Vetch's conversation with Bakken explained the serf thing a little better. Essentially serfs are prisoners of war and slaves are a bit more like indentured servants. Vetch is a 'war criminal', so freeing him would have to mean returning him to the Altean government. I'm assuming there's no system in place for granting citizenship to war prisoners like re-granting it to Tians who became slaves or granting citizenship to slaves from countries not at war with them.

I posted above, also wanted to add I liked the fact the dragons were sort of horse-birds. I really like stories where dragons are clever animals, as opposed to being weird-shaped people. Especially kind of dumb weird-shaped people. (So HTTYD instead of Pern) I mean I like weird-shaped-people dragons too! But I slightly prefer them as pets.

That sort of makes sense, though their ways of determining who qualifies as a war criminal is so out of whack lol.

(Also Altan instead of Altean...Voltron fan or just random typo? :P)

So I geuss in simplest terms, an Altan "slave" would really be a serf? But surely not all of them are tied to land - what if they took one captive during actual fighting? Or maybe that wasn't allowed.

I'd love for her to go into that system a little more in future books.

I like all different kinds of dragons, though I suppose I somewhat prefer the ones who are sapient, smart pets is cool too. I mostly like the variety!
