I didn't really know QUITE what to expect when I opened up this book. I knew it sounded good to me, kind of enchanting and really like nothing else that was out there. And really that's exactly what it was, enchanting and like nothing else out there, that is. 
 It had an almost fairytale-ish appeal to it, what with dragons the sylph creatures and the city that was just THERE when the people came 5000 years before. But at the same time it was really very deep. The concept of immortality is probably the biggest part of this. 
 There was also a romance, and I very much liked this romance. Sam was a likable character. But I liked it more in the beginning. I liked a few specific parts, but towards the end it kind of lacked the oomph I really like in a romance. 
 Overall I thought it was a really enjoyable and I'm excited to read the second one.
