What did I think of this? Well the author has an amazing
style, absolutely beautiful, and breath taking descriptions, a book
full of first love and identity. A girl who's struggling to gain her mother and
sisters acceptance, when they clearly wish a part of her wouldn’t exist, the
book starts off fast, with Jacinda breaking the rules, and almost getting
killed. And before she even has time to apologize, her and her family are
running off in the night.
I found that the romance between Will and Jacinda was a little too
rushed, it didn’t bore me, it was just too focused on it. I probably should
have read the whole description before buying it, and realized it was a romance
book. But as soon as I seen dragons and their ancestors, the Draki, I was instantly
hooked.
It was not what I expected, but it was good. It was full of very
well developed, very different characters. And the descriptions of flying
were just as amazing, as the descriptions of the heat and mountains.
The mythology and world that is always underneath the story, was
believable. Jacinda and her family are forced into the seemingly ordinary world
that the Draki normally stay away from, but there is a strong sense of longing
from Jacinda as she ached for her home, the real world. The one that the Draki live
in.
The first thing you look for in a book like this, is if the world
is believable and if it could possibly exist. I think that Jordan
Aside from everything else, the family drama was always on high.
You always feel that there is something more the mother is hiding from Jacinda,
even when she tells her the real reason that they had to leave their home. I
won't say more about that, but it was shocking.
The romance between Will and Jacinda was very sweet, and never
really slows down.
It is a good book, even though I expected something different, I
liked it. Found it really good, and I will be buying the second in the series,
after the way it ended I want to know what happens next.
I thought the cover are was very cool, the scales and colors very
vibrant. 5/5 on that. Also the book's pages were very cool, they way they were
decorated was beautiful, added to whole feeling of the book.
