In fact, I could not put it down... and I was listening to the Audible version. I sat in the grocery store parking lot for 20 minutes waiting to get to a part where I could force myself to stop the audio so I could go in and shop. I smiled, I laughed, I cried, I was fearful, hopeful, angry... such a wild ride of emotion. I absolutely loved hearing from the dragon's perspective. Brilliant. Towards the last 1/3 of the book a plot begins to develop that I could clearly see coming to fruition. I was slightly disappointed that it was so easy to figure out, yet I was still mystified as to what Stormfall was going to do, once he learned what I knew. I was almost sick about it, and wondered if I could finish the book, or if I should just put it down forever. But I had to know. So I finished the book and the author did not disappoint. This is no "happily ever after" tale, and yet there is resolution, and it works. I still have a little lump in my throat and tears that spring too easily to my eyes as I recall the events leading up to the ending. Yet, I am quite satisfied. My only sorrow now is that there is no Book 2 to move on to, for I grew to love Stormfall and Rue (sorry- I listened on Audible so I don't know if these are correct spellings. I'll come back and correct as soon as I figure that out.) I don't know if there is another dragon tale out there that can possibly fill the void I now feel. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"Stormfall is a dragon born with a coat the colour of the stars. When a hurricane strikes his island aerie, he is carried on the winds into the complicated and cruel world of men. There, his journey takes him from fisher dragon to farmer, fighting dragon to flight, each step leading him closer to becoming the most powerful War Dragon in all the land. But war is coming to Remus and with it, a crossroads for the Night Dragon and the young soul-boy he allows on his back. If he succeeds, he must become a slayer of dragons. If he fails, many more will die. How much will Stormfall risk ro end a war that is not his own?"--Back cover. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Previous reviewers said they saw the ending coming. I certainly did not, and am happier for it. I felt the ending wrapped up the story quite nicely. Most of the books I read today are part of a series so the gratification of a completely satisfying ending was refreshing. Unlike so many series conclusions single volume stories don't have the problem of so much having gone on with so many characters that it's hard to completely close the door on a story.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a good dragon story or good fantasy story. It sits firmly, IMO, in YA territory, but should be enjoyable by adults since there is nothing childish about it.
