Started fairly entertaining with good writing. Kept me interested for a few chapters. Started to get real boring, real fast. Good writing can only take you so far. I kept holding out for something to happen. 
 The first half of this book is angsty relationship crap that goes around and around with no heading what so ever. My disdain had been growing. I wanted sword fights and blood. What I got was Sarah questioning her feelings. 200 pages of sharing! Not quite, but it was close. 
 At around 210 + pages something finally happened. This became a new book. We get a battle of epic proportion. The dragons in true form get very little page time. Disappointing, I know. When they do show up it's a doozy. 
 First half gets 2.5 lowly stars & the second half gets 5 big ol' stars. I do hope book two finds a better balance.
