There’s no way I could have given this book anything less than five stars. If the option was there, I’d give it more!

I just loved the concept of this book (and as a parasitologist, the unexpected turn of a parasitic threat to the dragons made me an insanely happy reader - it was executed so well!). And the real life science in it was sound and combined with the fantasy element was just perfection. I adored the world this was set in and very quickly grew to love Marise’s character. And of course the dragons and now I want one.

The story itself was hugely entertaining to follow and you certainly get a feel for the dangerous place that our character found herself in - there were threats a plenty! The feeling of adventure was strong in this book which I loved and there was plenty at stake for our young heroin; with the fate of the dragons resting in her hands.

It’s set itself up so well as a series and I honestly can’t wait for the follow up. I’ll be itching to get straight back into this world and back with Marise. I loved reading this and although I’m sad I’ve finished it, I’m glad there are more to come!
