I received a free copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Darnuir, the Prince of Dragons is gravely injured when his castle is stormed. To save his life, the wizard Brackendon must cast a special kind of spell, reversing Darnuir's life, essentially rebirthing him. Growing up with humans, the new Darnuir is different to the old and now must learn how to be King of the dragons in the face of a hoard of demons and a terrifying enemy.

This was actually a much more solid fantasy book than I had expected and i ended up really enjoying most of it. The fantasy setting has enough world building that I could understand where the characters were, what they were doing and where they were heading. The characters were also intriguing, particularly Darnuir as I often felt i couldn't quite get a grasp on him - my opinion of him kept changing. His battle with the flashes of his old self were very enjoyable to see though I think maybe I would have liked to have seen a bit more character development in this sense and see him battle his old self and impulses a bit more. A lot of characters are a little bit grey like Darnuir, not all good but not all bad either. Blaine always seemed like he had an ulterior motive but then he did really seem to believe in Darnuir at other times and followed the dragon's religion closely. Dakoona was another interesting character, particularly because of what happened with the spectres at the end - I can only assume that was on his orders and I'm interested to see what happens with that.

It could be a bot description heavy at times and the action took a while to really get going but I enjoyed this a lot and will definitely continue on.
