A mystical tale is not normally my first choice. I was completely enchanted by this story. The author creates such strong imagery that you soon lose yourself to the fantasy-land found between the covers of this book! I will certainly read the rest of the books in this series.
Helpful Score: 10
I felt a little distracted by the interludes where a storyteller narrator seems to go over the past or the present story.. felt a little redundant and repetitive. Otherwise most of the book was written exquisitely. Very lush prose that sets Abe's writing apart. Interesting and complicated pair (Lia and Zane) as well and a set up for book 3.
Helpful Score: 7
An interesting storyline with a very unlikely hero who makes the book worth reading.
Helpful Score: 5
This is a very unique series of books & this is the 2nd one. The concept is there are a small group of people who have an ancient secret which is that they can shape shift into dragons. I cannot wait to read the next one!

I adored the first book in the series and while the couple in this book are interesting and complicated, Abe's male character seems so emotionally crippled and dark, he wasn't that likable for me. Worse yet, the female lead fluctuated between independent and doormat and didn't seem that focused as a character. Definitely not as good as the first in the series. I have purchased all four in the series though and am delighted to see where Abe will go with her other charcters!
