I have tried so hard to like this and it isn't awful. Just not very capturing.
I love the dragons but can't get into the other characters.

I don't know if it's the time this book was written, but I found it hearkening back to books I read in middle school, both in tone and in character. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a far cry from what typical YA is like these days.

Overall, this book was nice, quaint maybe, but not memorable. You won't be clamoring to know more about Kira and her world, but you won't be struggling to find enjoyment either. There's nothing great, but nothing terrible. Women don't have a huge role in general, but both Kira and the titular Dragon Queen are important players, so there's that. It's a nice stand-alone fantasy to fill an afternoon or two.

This wonderful fantasy, full of wizards and dragons had me enchanted from the moment I started reading, the events at the beginning of the story had me completely intrigued and bursting to know what was going to happen next. The characters were lovable, excepting the baddie, and all the more so because of their faults and the mistakes they made. Aimed at a YA audience this story is written well with suitable language for younger readers while still being developed enough for adults to enjoy as well.
