First off, isn't that cover beautiful? I love the black and white sketch. It's going to be a little difficult talking about this book without giving away the plot. I really enjoyed this book. Such a different twist on a tale of dragons. I've only read books in which the dragons are side characters, not talking main characters. Plus, the dragons were portrayed as unable to empathize or really sense the feelings over other people. They also couldn't fall in love themselves or really feel much of anything. It was puzzling to them always having to take the human form to fit in and abide by the treaty. I really liked Seraphina's story and I'm anxious to see where it goes. Particularly with her relationship to Prince Lucian Kiggs. I don't want to give anything away but I expected something different in the end. I thought Seraphina's relationship to her uncle, Orma was sweet and added a tricky element to the plot. I also thought the addition of music- and Seraphina's incredible musical talents was a nice addition. I sped through this book and enjoyed every minute of it. I will be reading the next one in the series (Dracomachia.) I would highly recommend this one!
