I have mixed feelings about this novel. While I really enjoyed (pretty much loved) the plot I'm not sure if I enjoyed the dialogue and overall execution. At times this was a page turner, and at other times this was dull. For a novel about dragons I wanted way more. I'm hoping Eona, novel 2, gives me a little more of what I felt I was missing in this novel. Overall I'd rate this a 3.5/4.
