I'm writing my review a few months after finishing this book, which probably helps the rating. I was somewhat positively surprised by the first book, so I went into the second book with more hope than I had for the first book. After reading, I have to agree with the negative reviews. The pacing was bad, essentially nothing happened until the last few pages, so it was hard to get through. The romance took over the plot even more, which really caused the fantasy aspect to slack. I did enjoy the dragons again, but that wasn't nearly enough. The plot and characters felt really very, some plot lines didn't make any sense. I hope that the author takes her time writing the next book in the series in the hopes that the quality will be better. Either way, I don't think I'll pick up the next books. Yes, there was a cliffhanger, but I do not feel inclined to continue this series. Though this may change in the future.
