The question of this book is whether or not the human race is ready and willing to accept that dragons may be real? The other question is whether or not dragons are willing to co-exist with the humans. The story begins with a plague that is facing the dragons. Their species is plagued with unexpected and unwanted shifting in the most unlikely of places. The full-blooded dragons have grown too old and set in their ways. They can offer advice, but none really know what to do. It’s up to them all to find an answer otherwise their race is in real danger.
The story line of this book is fantastic. The background and history are intriguing and well thought out. Action around every corner: humans suddenly shifting into dragons; dragons taking flight; war; kidnappings; and family dynamics. This book seems to have a nice mix of good and bad and pride and selflessness.
Although well crafted, there did seem to be a few too many characters in this novel. I found it hard to keep them all together in my mind. Sadly, I did have to flip back and forth a few times to figure out who was who now and then. Also, some of the character story lines did not have a firm ending. Maybe that’s because a second book is in the works that I am unaware of that will help with the dangling lines.
All in all I was very impressed with this author’s imagination and the ability to bring the story to life for me within the pages of her book. It held my attention and kept me wondering what was next throughout the pages. Well done.
