My Opinion:
I want to yell and cry! I can't believe the ending, even if it was good and had me on the edge of my seat, I still can't get over how it turned out.
Am I disappointed? Not in the least, just surprised.
Now I have to get a copy of the next book.... I have to know what happens next.... what do they do to Jacinda??? Oh, the burning questions in my mind....
Yes, if you haven't read this book, get a copy. I mean, who isn't fascinated by dragons?! And this is like no other dragon story out there, it's waaaay cooler than that!
I don't know which I liked better, the adventure/fantasy aspect or the romance. It was a great blend of both and very exciting!
5/5
Recommend? YES!!!
