I absolutely LOVED this book!
I can't remember a time when I wasn't fascinated with Dragons, even as the stories written about them got more sophisticated, the older I got.
Anne McCaffrey was the author who made me really fall in love with them, though and, as decade after decade has passed, more and more authors have had their own take on these awesome creatures.
S.W. Clarke, and Ramy Vance, have written a belter of a story, here. I instantly fell in love with Percival, and it just got deeper as I read of his struggles, and the fact of his divided life.
That he is being torn in two, at the choices he is having to make.
I also immediately admired Tara Drake. I really couldn't imagine having her bravery, and fortitude, at 19 year old. Well, I guess as a character in a story you can have those traits - it's a little harder in reality, sadly!
That Tara survived what she did, at 14, was a miracle - although I think there will be@ a lot of surprises in store, for any reader that follows this series, as there are far too many gaps in Tara's memory of her early days, that needs exploring.
Like all good storytellers, though, these two authors are keeping me guessing - and I love that! Lol
This first book of the series, is making me wish that there were more books in it. But, then, I'm always a sucker for a great story, that's so well written, and has kept me engaged ALL NIGHT!
Yes, I couldn't stop reading this book until I reached the end - which took until 6.55 a.m.!
A really good sign of an excellently written story, for me!
So, I'm going to try to catch a little shuteye, just for a few hours, before grabbing something to eat, then starting Book Two of this Series: 'Welcome To The Dragon Show'!
Once I've read this, I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think of the next stage of Tara and Percival's journey!
