I enjoyed reading this one, but not as much as I thought I would. I liked the main character through a lot. The world building was pretty good as well. All in all, it's a pretty good book. I would give it a 3 1/2 star rating but you can't do half stars on Netgalley.

This novel wasn't really my cup of tea.

I should have known that the premise wasn't really in line with my interests. The elemental portion is played out and then adding dragons just wasn't for me.

The writing style seemed slightly juvenile, like the book was more suitable for Middle Grade readers than Young Adult readers. That being said, it was entertaining and the pacing was good. I wasn't very impressed with the characters either however, as they felt like cardboard cutouts. Chloe was full of stereotypes of what it is like to be a teenage girl, and I didn't feel connections to any of the characters.

An endearing read with very likeable teenage characters, but too long by half. The Small Town High School elements, which are the book's strength even if not particularly original, aren't always structurally well integrated with the fantastical elements (or the "evil corporation" bits).

I grew fond of Chloe, Ezra, and all the rest, but am unlikely to follow them into a sequel which -- after this one's ending -- promises to be far less about their human lives, hopes and dreams, and far more about the Epic Environmental/Dragon Apocalypse!, portents of which were in fact the least interesting part of this book.

Sorry, requested but did not find the time to review.
