 First let me show you this very detailed, intricate list of pros and cons I made. 
 Pros 
 Dragons! 
 Cons 
 Everything else?* 
 * Negatives include, but are not limited to: insta-love, heroine who is a Mary Sue, dialogue that is Twilight-esque, unrealistic coincidences, and characters that change their minds so often it will make your head spin. 
 Why is Jacinda a Mary Sue? (And other negatives.) 
 Let's look at this conveniently placed definition of a Mary Sue. 
 "Mary Sue" is judged a poorly developed character, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting. 
 -She is the only one of her kind. 
 -She is beautiful and athletic. 
 -She has a twin. (Which I don't think was completely necessary) 
 -Two incredibly gorgeous guys are in love with her. 
 -One guy hunts her kind. Of course this leads to love. (What else!) 
 Unrealistc Coincidences 
 The novel starts with Jacinda almost dying, but her mortal enemy saves her life. The same mortal enemy shows up at Jacinda's new school, states away. Love immediately ensues. 
 Twilight Dialogue 
 Basically half of the novel Will tries to convince Jacinda he and his family are dangerous and she should stay away. Later on, Will completely makes a 180 and shows up at her house saying he's tired of trying to stay away from her. 
 Why three stars? 
 Please refer to the Pros. 
 There are dragons! Dragons! 
 Zeros stars for the Cons, five for the Pros. Take the average and that's what I gave this novel.
