By Sophie JordanHow refreshing! It was nice to read a book with new "creature" ideas and also not have to be bogged down by any nasty language. I'm thinking a lot of the new YA books aren't so young adult, and since I don't even consider myself a young adult, does that mean I'm an adult so I can read that kind of garbage?? Anyway, I regress :), Firelight was good...but for some reason, and this is weird for me, I don't really feel like I NEED to read the next in the series right away. I'm good with waiting until it comes out. I might even need to be reminded when it does come out.
About the story, I enjoyed the concept of the draki, a descendant of a dragon that can adopt the human form. The book is a fast read, just a few hours, so definitely something for a lazy afternoon. I don't feel like I got into the story as much as I could have. The main character, Jacinda, lacks any real character quirks or something about her that makes her endearing to the reader. I want to feel for her, but honestly, she's kinda boring! Maybe the next books will be more revealing for her character. I recommend this book if you're looking for something fun and light. 3 stars. It could have been so much better if the characters had more umph to them. Something was missing. The writing just didn't pull me in like I wanted it to.
