I was so intrigued by this book. I have loved the idea of half-human/half-dragon characters for years. So this book seemed right up my alley. Unfortunately, this book did not deliver on the concept in the way that I thought it would. Seraphina and the other half-Dragon characters are mostly like ...
I just finished re-reading Seraphina in preparation for diving into its sequel Shadow Scale and if anything I loved it even more the second time. I would be completely happy just walking around inside the wintery, music-filled, multi-cultural Medieval-like setting of this book, with its castles, sai...
Shadow Scale picks up a few months after Seraphina left off, and finds Seraphina setting off on a quest to unite the half-dragons or ityasaari she is aware of in order to create a weapon which may be useful to Goredd in fighting dragons.

I have no idea if this was a 4 star read or not, really struggling to work out my feelings towards this book... (it doesn't help that I thought I'd reviewed it months ago, but hadn't, so collecting my thoughts around it is even more difficult now)
This review was originally posted on amazon on July 20, 2012 First off, I love the cover. It's gorgeous, even on a computer screen, and is a nice change from the ubiquitous pretty girl in a ball gown which seems to be on about every third YA book being published these days. The drawing is fabulous...
