3.5 I loved the plot, really wanted to know more of several characters. I really enjoyed the parts of the book I read when I knew who was talking. That was the major problem, I did not know who was talking or what they were talking about more than a few times. I found myself just skimming through th...

I really wanted to like this book, the concept sounded promising, but it just wasn't my thing. The different races got more attention than the plot did. And I thought it was very annoying that she kept some vital plot lines secret throughout almost the entire book, and in the end it wasn't all that ...

A perfectly imperfect heroine, it is a joy to read the adventures of Kaylin, along with the other wonderful cast of allies and enemies. Be warned, some parts are disturbing, and in other hands I probably would not have been able to read some of it, but Sagara is fantastic at weaving an engrossing s...

I can't quite figure out why I didn't like this book. Maybe it's just me, but the writing is very vague. I never get a feel of what kind of city the story is taking place or of what the characters look like. I get that the author is trying really hard for us to believe that everyone loves the main c...

I tried to get through the whole thing, but I finally gave up because what is the point of plowing aimlessly through a book when you would rather not? If a book is not holding my interest, there is no point trying to make it. That said, it was not awful or anything. The characters simply did not int...

Kaylin is new to me and I love her. She reminds of a video game my DH played for a while. He thinks it's called dragon's age, but can't remember. I never pay attention so who knows? Anyway, Kaylin is a fun character for me because she's trying to make a life for herself. She grew up from a terr...

It took a bit of work to actually get through but by the middle of the book, it breezed by. Granted, the phrases/sentences can be jilted and jumpy and sometimes Ms. Sagara waxes poetic far to much for me, but it's the character's that sort of pull you into it and less of the author's writing style. ...

A different, yet familiar, take on dragons, magic, etc. It seems familiar having read Anne Bishop's The Black Jewels Trilogy - there are Eyrians (Aerians in this book), a powerful female protagonist, a dangerous love interest, dragons, magic, wolves, etc. It's different because of the premise of "Th...

I picked up this book looking for a fun, quick read. And that was what I got. So the three-star rating is a compromise between my level of enjoyment while reading it (4 stars) and my thoughts on its actual quality looking back (2 stars).The plot centers around Kaylin Neya, who’s a Hawk, i.e., a cop,...
