Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
3.0
I almost gave this book 4 stars. Almost. However, because I didn’t start enjoying it until I was way more than halfway through, I’ve rated it 3. To begin, I liked this book, I just didn’t love it.
This story line to me was very unique and intriguing. A young girl who is half human and half dragon that lives in a world where dragons and humans coexist. Tension reigns between the two species and Seraphina struggles with constant fear and self-hatred because she must hide what she is from the world. It is a wonderful idea for a book.
My main complaint was that I simply could not connect with Seraphina. To me, she had little personality. She did not seem unique or relatable to me. The only thing that makes her stand out is the fact that she is a dragon/human mix. She showed emotion throughout the book, but not enough to make me feel for her or feel sentimental towards her.
I LOVE Lucian Kiggs and Orma. They blessed this book with their presence. These two characters are what kept me hanging onto this book and not DNFing.
The ending of this book was amazing. *WITHOUT SPOILING ANYTHING* I was deeply moved by the emotion of the characters and the cure of the conflicts at the end. I was teary-eyed quite a few times throughout the last few chapters. I am very surprised that I ended up enjoying this book. It ended on QUITE the cliffhanger and I am more excited than I thought I would be to start reading the second book.
