The king’s adolescent daughter, Theora, only knows the life of royalty. When she finds herself living amongst a whole colony of dragons, with no scraps of her previous life to hold onto, she’s desperate to return home. Dragged out of one society and cast into another, there is one thing she will learn for sure-- that the dragons are nothing like the humans envisioned them to be.
As sure as the sunrise, this book is an impressive feat for the author's age at the time of writing. You can feel the juvenile language and flow, but that hurts none of the book's charm at all. It's special, inventive, and creative in the way you only really see from people enamored by their first passions. I don't mean to project, but genuinely it does have that special something. The ending took me by surprise especially, hitting me with emotions I didn't expect to have reached for the characters in the story.
LOVE IT! After suddenly getting interested in friendly dragons, I searched "Dragon" on my kindle. I saw this book and almost left it. I almost left it again when Theora and her brother were talking about the dragons being bad in the prolog. I am SO glad I didn't. This book should be definitely in a movie. I'd be first in the theater!
To be honest, I thought this was going to be an entirely different book because of the title. But it was better than I imagined. To see the world through the eyes of a dragon would change anyone's perspective on them, especially if they used to be human too. Loved this book and even reread it on some days just because I love the world created by the author.
I really like stories about dragons. This one wasn't like others I have read, but it was good all the same. The 2nd book has started out just as good. Hope when I get into the 3rd one it will be just as good. Will let you know.
