Seraphina was one of my favorite books of 2013, so I was really, really excited about this one. I started it immediately. And it took me 8 months to finish it. It is fine, but I have to be honest - it dragged. It was overlong, and meandering, and occasionally felt like it was going no where. And...
Oh dear, I don’t know what to say here… Because I loved the first book and I almost didn’t finish this one. So yeah, I’m disappointed… It was just so boring. Seraphina leaves the castle to find other half-dragons. She meets new half-dragon, there’s drama, she meets another one, there’s more drama an...
At the end of this book, the author writes, "This book was a beast to write." I can believe it. I have waited YEARS for this book having fallen in love with Seraphina more than seven years ago. Shadow Scale may have been a beast to write, but it was a glorious beauty to read. I always say that ther...
What happened? I loved Seraphina. I gave it 5 stars. But Shadow Scale has left me so bitterly disappointed I could cry. All the things I loved about the first book were gone in this one. This book was so slow, and so long and just dull. It was hard to get through, and it took me forever to read it. ...
Shadow Scale is a really difficult one to review for me. I am rather heartsore for two reasons:I had huge expectations and somehow they were not met, the other being that this is a well written book, but if you take a look at my rating, I didn't much enjoy it. I adore Seraphina. I couldn't wait fo...
Before she wrote Seraphina and the just released Shadow Scale, Rachel Hartman created comics set in the same rich and wonderfully elaborate world of humans and dragons. Amy Unbounded is a collection of stories 7 through 12 from that series, bound together to be like a graphic novel. Set some years b...
This installment of, what I assume will be a series (each book end in a way that it can be the end of the story, but leaves enough room for more if needed) was much darker than I anticipated. And that is not a bad thing, it was just kind of surprising. We start off with Seraphina hopeful, despite...
Where do I start?! Shadow Scale was an epic follow up to Hartman's first hit, Seraphina. I enjoyed Seraphina, but man did I love Shadow Scale. I mean what's not to love, there are freaking DRAGONS! And as if that weren't awesome enough, there are half dragon/humans.....with special abilities! ...
