DRAGONS! Need I say more? I mean.. c'mon.. dragons! 
 Dragons, being one of my favorite mythical creatures, are just something you don't see written about much. Imagine my excitement when I saw the blurb for this. I was eager to get my greedy little hands on it! And it was so much fun! 
 Right from the start, we are thrown into a mysterious, imaginary world full of magic, mages and say it with me... dragons. Add some seers and The Fates and we are working with a 
 recipe 
 for success. With beautiful prose and world building, you can't help but be enraptured 
 by magic and lore that makes this one stand out in originality. The action scenes had me on edge. It's fast paced, keeping you engaged throughout, wanting to know more. Always more. And since we honestly don't know exactly who is bad and who is good, you are constantly second guessing everyone's intentions. 
 Aurora and Fenn embark on a journey to unravel the truths behind their lost memories and their past. Discovering Aurora's tie to a prophecy foretold years prior and the secret world that she is from, is just the start of their journey. With new strangers approaching every which way, 
 they must decide who to trust and what path to take. 
 I really adored these two. They compliment each other well and you can't help but to root for...more to happen between them. Aurora's feisty and funny. She's tough and once everything started to unfold, she stood tall and was ultimately a force to be reckoned with. You couldn't help but feel for her; the confusion and frustrations she has while trying to discover who and what she is. I don't blame her uncertainty in regards to all these people randomly showing up to "help". Then, she faces the decision whether to return to her home or stay in the world she knows. Which can't be easy. As for Fenn; his loyalty and dedication to Aurora is what stands out the most. He's strong, sweet and just someone you really want on your side when shit hits the fan. And it's gonna hit the fan. 
 Aside from the main two, we also have other secondary characters worth mentioning. Mr. Creepy, the seer who told Aurora and Fenn the prophecy. (honestly, the jury's still out on him) The sinister, eeeevil guy Zordon. Seriously. This guy is bad. Eve and Lexi. Along with others who were just barely brushed on. Again, I'm still wondering who is actually GOOD and who isn't. 
 My only, slight, issue was the ending. It's not BAD. It's just... I wanted to know MORE. About their 
 world. 
 Aurora's powers and her destiny. MORE about the prophecy and how everyone, mainly Zordon and Aurora, tie together. You did your job well, Knoebel, now I'm anxiously awaiting the release of book 2, Embracing the Flames. 
 Overall- I really liked it! Well 
 written, captivating 
 story with 
 interesting 
 lore, mystery and 
 likable 
 characters. I 
 recommend 
 it!
