I haven't read anything to do with dragons and I can see that Julie Kagawa has taking the opportunity to write about a subject that hasn't really been written about before. It sucks the teen drama took over the novel a bit but I'm sure the next novel will be better. Great review, I'll have to keep a look out for this one.Francoise https://www.blogger.com/profile/12033355772776822109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-46589917724040124122014-09-24T06:06:12.599+10:002014-09-24T06:06:12.599+10:00I started the series, but just couldn't get in...I started the series, but just couldn't get into it sadly, but her Blood of Eden series is incredible! I definitely recommend that one. I know, dragons! But I wish it was a little less of the teen angst and more dragon action. It's still super entertaining.

I felt exa...She's just brilliant isn't she.<br />I felt exactly the same Larissa, book three was disappointing compared to how incredible the rest of the series was. This almost continued with the same angst type storyline, but the ending hints and even greater things to come. So I'm eagerly awaiting book two before this one has even been released.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-71014862757172300192014-09-24T04:52:27.933+10:002014-09-24T04:52:27.933+10:00Thanks Joy and completely agree, we need more Drag...Thanks Joy and completely agree, we need more Dragon! I really hope this is the start of a new trend in young adult, dragons and recently I read a blogger review on a new series featuring trolls and the main character. We need new ideas, and dragons are virtually untouched.

She's truly on my auto buy list. ANNNNND DRAGONS.<br /><br />The premise really does sound promising, but the angst mentioned is a little worrisome. I found the angst in the final Blood of Eden book a little distracting from the rest of the plot/characters so I'm a little nervous now :o However it sounds like this one was still a decent read (if your four star read was any indication) and the room for growth in the sequels is definitely promising. I do find with Kagawa that her second books are usually my favorite. Like in her Blood of Eden series haha.<br /><br />Lovely review girl!

I honestly think this sounds a little like Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, but for YA. Of course, there are some similarities but also a lot of differences too. Ember sounds like a great heroine, although I'm not really liking the fact that she's in a love triangle. More dragons please! I will be keeping an eye out for this one.
