My Thoughts
Jump into a world of fantasy!
Brilliant world building that really took me to another world. The breathtaking imagery had me eagerly devouring each word. I really enjoyed the imaginative world and its memorable inhabitants. Filled with adventure, intrigue, and dragons you will not want to put this book down!
The voice of the story was beautiful and fun. It really drew me into the heart of the story. I love the intricate plot of the story and seeing this new world through the eyes of the two characters Bronwyn and Blayke whose worlds are both being torn apart by the same war. They are strangers, but their plight is the same.
This story also had some intriguing coming of age elements that I thought were very well executed. The two different viewpoints were handled nicely and added to the depth of the story instead of detracting from it like different switching different viewpoints can do sometimes.
This book was an exciting adventure story that every dragon lover should read! I cannot wait for the rest of this series.
