Today sees two reviews! Whoo hoo! This book isn't being released until the end of the month, but I promise it is well worth the wait. This one is called The Dragon Tamer and it is written by Ava Richardson. I know I'll be watching out for the next couple books in the series!
Rating: 4 (so so so close to being Oscar worthy)
Whoo-Hoos: 0 (It's tame. You're good to have some look over your shoulder while reading.)
In a world where dragons not only exist but are noble rulers, Kaelan finds herself within villages which are severely against anything dragon related. With a seriously ill mother and fragile grandmother the fate of her family rests squarely on her shoulders, but when disaster strikes at the market Kaelan realizes the responsibility rests on her more heavily than ever before. Frightened, she sets forth on her journey to the Akademy to become a dragon tamer, almost being killed by a couple dragons along the way, but saved by the dashing prince. Together they finish their travels to the school, but the true path of discovery and learning has just begun. For both of them.
Be prepared to stay up all night with this book, turning the pages faster and faster. As the protagonists take a tough exploration through self-mastery, so too do the readers because of the bond between the audience and characters. Because one is easily able to watch and feel what is taking place, this story appears to have be real instead of merely fiction. Two hard-to-overlook plot holes, however, leave the reader feeling discontented and questioning the prince's ability to rule. First, the heroine is too quick to forgive the hero often going so far as to excuse his callous behaviour, and two, the prince flip-flops on his loyalty and royal duties so much. Poor girl isn't sure whether she comes before the kingdom or if the kingdom comes first. With those couple of oversights noted, this is a solidly enjoyable read capable of making the world drop away and to have the audience chuckling with the sarcasm and wit presented.
