Quotes
“Kagawa creates a believable, exciting world that makes the possibility of dragons walking among us feel real…Garret and Ember have strong stories and even stronger hearts. Their romance surpasses age-old bigotry and long-ingrained fears between the oldest of foes, and readers will swoon.” RT Reviews (4 stars)
“This modern-day fantasy with a splash of romance is an entertaining read. Kagawa weaves an evenly paced narrative with a strong theme of loyalty. Readers who have outgrown Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and those who appreciate a good old-fashioned love triangle will enjoy this first installment of the saga.” Library Journal
“The militarized conflict between Talon and St.
George provides plenty of excitement, but this is mostly a classic star-crossed
romance between two (potentially three) people questioning long-held beliefs.
And Kagawa knows just how to end a first volume for maximum cliff-hanger drama.” Booklist
“The insight into their respective experiences is
welcome, and Ember’s and Garret’s outsider perspectives on teen social rituals
are reliably amusing.” Kirkus Reviews
