Ah dragons! I am always ready for a dragon story and this was a darn good one. The main character, Seraphina, was feisty, intelligent, strong, and fun. Watching Seraphina make mistakes like a real person and then learn from them was refreshing. She is not a super heroine but rather a thoughtful and hardworking one. Particularly entertaining were her discussions with Orma, a dragon, and his responses to seemingly normal questions and situations.

The dragon lore in this book was very different from what lore has been in other dragon series. I almost wish there was a lot more of it. Same goes for the history. It is reminiscent of medieval culture. I loved the religious aspects of the Goreddi culture. It is not overdone by any means, but the way that it is referenced in the characters’ speech and the settings helped fill out the world. The book ends suggesting there will be more to come in this series. I cannot wait to read the second novel.
