Honestly, this is one of the most entrancing books I have read all year. I raced through these pages faster than Elang could dart through water. I will forever love everything to do with dragons and this story is so amazingly perfect. Having grown up with primarily western dragon fantasy, this book is such a refreshing take on dragons. I love the Eastern Asian flair and magnificence of the dragons.
The story at first impression reminded me of a reverse sort of Little Mermaid meets Beauty and the Beast, but it is also far more than that. The characters grew on me so much I burst into tears at the finale; twice even. Once from heartbreak and again in relief. Elizabeth Lim's writing is exquisite in the subtle clues scattered throughout the chapters. Everything comes together masterfully with nice surprises along the way.
