I'd heard nothing but good things about this book. Even the radio was talking about it being "the next Twilight." I say no. Because you're just not going to find that same ever-present negative crowd following this series wherever it goes. 
 This book is original. I mean, dragon-people. Really. In theory, that sounds completely idiotic--to me, anyway. But here, it worked. It really did. 
 I think the only thing that really kept me from loving the book with all my heart was just the fact that me and Jacinda are pretty different when it comes to dealing with situations like her. While she is very stubborn--and with very good reason--I'd be beyond that. But, you know, you can't love everyone to death. Though Jacinda is really awesome. 
 Worst part of the book: the end. I would've loved for it to stretch on. The ending provided no closure and will, without a doubt, pick right back up in the next installment. My advice: have both books in hand when you decide to give this a shot. It's just that good. You have my word, along with countless others' and my local radio station's (weird because it's like the only book besides Twilight they've ever talked about on air). So, read it! :)
