First I would like to thank NetGalley and Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd for the eARC of Isle of Dragons.
This book was exactly how it was described, a fast-paced steampunk style adventure. Poor Jade, Miria and Dan could never seem to get five minutes before something else happened to them.
It took me a little bit to figure out what the centipedes, bulls and birds were exactly and the differences between them but I think this is because a lot was going on at the same time and it was when they were being repaired that I took more notice of the descriptions.
On Netgalley this book comes under General Fiction (Adult) | Sci-Fi & Fantasy | Teens & YA. Now to me, this was more of a teen read than YA or General Fiction (adult). I'd probably put it in the same age bracket as Howl's Moving Castle, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series.
I'd say about 40% of this book is them preparing to go on the adventure that is promised as part of a trilogy. Once you get past the halfway mark it's an adventure like I've never read before and it's certainly one that my daughter would enjoy.
This is a quick read and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

The Journey
An exciting journey in a Science Fiction novel. Three young people intent on reaching a mysterious island said to be an isle of dragons.
Jade is of noble birth to the nobleman Carison of Sol. When her father is arrested and taken to the Isle of Dragons she escapes in a caterpillar pod and goes in search of this island. When her pod needs repairs she meets Miria and her brother Dan. She stays with their family and Dan works on her pod. Miria and Dan live with their grandparents. Their parents left to find the Isle of Dragons and never returned.
The three young people decide they are going to go to this mythical island and find their parents. The book is about this journey. The perils, the narrow escapes, the capture and escape. Will they find the island and find their parents?
This was a good book , I do not generally read Science Fiction but I needed a dragon book for a book challenge and I picked this one. I am glad I did because I really enjoyed it. I love the character's and the white dragon was special. I hope there is a sequel because when it ended I got the impression there would be another book. I want to find Thomas. By the way, the cover is amazing.
If you like science fiction you will love this book. I would recommend it.
Thanks to L.A. Thompson, Cameron Publishing and Marketing and NetGalley for allowing me to read a copy in exchange for an honest review.
