Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5, I would have given it 6 if I could.

Short Summary of the book:

This book tells the story of Heron, a young man bonded to a dragon. They can understand each other and live their lives together. Heron has some psychic powers and met his mate in his dreams. In the book they meet and get together, creating a new world with Grabon, the dragon and their neighbours. This is a lovely tale I enjoyed a lot.

What I liked about the book:

I liked how the author was able to paint a picture of a future world and the telepathic communications between species. How the characters in this story lived in harmony with the world around them.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

My favourite bits in the book:

I loved how accepting Trissy was of the relationship Heron had with Grabon and how accepting Heron was of the fact Trissy had a little sister she cared for and was responsible for. I also loved how they stood up for another little girl who was detested by her father’s wife, simply because she was not hers.

My least favourite bits in the book:

Where a little girl was told off by her mum due to a minor discretion. She was treated so unfairly.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the second book in the series and can be read as stand-alone. It has wetted my appetite to read the first and next books in the series too.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This is a good example of a fantasy romance and fairy tale. It is also a very good one in this genre.

Recommendation:


Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like Fantasy Romance this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
