YAY!! I've been hearing sooo man...You loved it! YAY!! I've been hearing sooo many good things about this, so when the fantasy-loving Story Queen adds to that praise, I have zero hope of passing this by. I'm especially intrigued by the mythology and politics.... DRAGONS!! I was totally dragon-prejudice before I read Firelight and realised: HEY, THEY'RE COOL. Definitely want to add more fire-breathing books to my shelves. <br /><br />I really crave these deep kind of fantasies every so often, so I am insanely happy Seraphina delivers.

Seraphin...Yes yes yes to your first two paragraphs! Seraphina really had everything in it. And the dragons were freaking AWESOME. I loved how they were so different and how Seraphina struggled being part of both worlds. And the romance...sigh. It was amazing. Great review, Sonia! Majorly jealous of the cover you have too, it's so much better than the UK one!Liz.

Plus, I loooved the relationships Seraphina sustained with Orma and especially Kiggs. I can't wait to see how that plays out in the sequel and I'll probably die waiting for it! ;) Great review! :D <br /><br />~Keertana<br /><a href="http://ivybookbindings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ivy Book Bindings</a>Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-49093023194113795762012-07-27T10:18:39.459-04:002012-07-27T10:18:39.459-04:00YAY! So exciting that you enjoyed this one! It'...YAY! So exciting that you enjoyed this one! It's such a vivid and captivating fantasy and I felt so sisterly toward Seraphina, simply because of all the STUFF she has to endure, the guilt, the self-loathing. *sniffles* I really felt for this girl. AND KIGGS. OMG, what a swoony guy. So swoon-worthy. <br /><br />SOOOONIA.
