This is a book I have really loved reading and in fact I
have gone on to buy the next in the series from Amazon. The fantastic
characters, plot and new fantasy world sucked me straight into the heart of
this story which Is where I remained from start to end. This book is an instant
favourite and I can't wait to get stuck into the next book.
The main character is Elena, a normal girl whose life
consists of staying on the road with her paranoid father until the night comes
where he is killed and she is whisked off to a fantasy kingdom where dragons
exists. Elena has to fit in with all the new things happening in her life as
well as deal with the death of her father. Then a mystical item is stolen and
she goes off on a quest to retrieve it; I absolutely loved reading this book. I
also thought Elena's character was a great female lead although she does spend
the majority of this book feeling lost she does come through brilliantly at the
end.
There are a lot of secondary characters so I'm going to
focus on the ones I feel are most noteworthy, these are Becky, Sammy, Lucien
and Blake. Becky and Sammy are Elena's roommates, Becky is a normal girl except
for the fact that she is one day going to have to tame her Dragon mate. Sammy
is a dragon herself, sister of Blake she is concerned about his inner dragon’s
strength and that he will need to be tamed soon. Lucien is the Prince of the
region, he is a dragonian and he has set his heart on taming Blake since they
were best friends when younger. Blake is a dragon who holds the most powerful
one of a kind Dragon inside his human body; he is under a strain that if he
doesn't find his dragonian soon then his dragon will control him.
The storyline was brilliantly original introducing a
completely new fantasy experience for readers to get sucked into. The pacing
was great however I do feel that it left a lot up to the very last minute not
giving the readers very much time to recover from the exciting last 3 chapters
but it did leave me wanting more.
I would recommend this book to everyone, a great read 5
stars.
