My first thoughts after reading this book: dragonsdragonsdragonsdragons! 
 My second, slightly more coherent thought: I love dragons. I love this book. 
 Ah, the genius of my mind. Isn't it clever? 
 Let's see if we can put something a bit better together, shall we? 
 This book is different than another book I've read. The dragons were awesome. They were utterly unique, clearly imagined, and wonderful. The dragons themselves are the reason for one of the stars awarded to this book. 
 About two or three other stars make up the plot and setting. The world was vivid, clear, and well-built (mostly.) The plot was clever, engaging, and exciting. It lagged at times, but was excellent. 
 The characters put the icing on the cake. Seraphina was real. So real. And she was a strong character. She was feminine, strong, and kind of crazy. Ziggs was great. Their romance wasn't even horrible. I didn't have to roll my eyes or groan. It took third or fourth place to the story and plot. I loved it. 
 Glisselda was another awesome character. Orma. Lars. Fruit Bat. The characters themselves are plenty of reason to love this book. 
 But, really, like I said earlier. It was the dragons. The dragons, the dragons, the dragons. The Saarantrai. They were brilliant. 
 This book was brilliant and engaging. Also, it has a pretty cover. Just thought that I'd point that out. 
 And don't forget the dragons.
