Laura Greenwood's Review
I LOVED this book, it had all the elements of a good fantasy book, a quest, some bad luck, magic, and of course a love story! What I particularly liked about it was that the quest didn't always go the best way for the characters, and they had to learn to work together in order to complete it. This meant that they had to develop as characters and people, making it much more believable.
I found that the writing style was a little odd in places, there were times when it was hard to tell whether animal characters were male or female, not that this actually mattered much in the grand scheme of things!
I particularly liked the relationships between the Draconium and their dragons, it was more like a friendship than a pet and master relationship. Saying that I wouldn't actually even describe it as a friendship, it felt like more than that! There was a real depth to their relationships. Similarly the relationships between the humanoid characters were full of depth and seemed like really real relationships.
