Okay, I've read the histories first, so it's cool to know what the characters are talking about pertaining to historical events. So first off, I suggest you do that... Anyway, I'm not DONE with the book yet, got a lil' less than 1/4th to read, and so far I've really enjoyed it. I like the rules for magic and everything that the author sets for her world. The romance was really pulling me into it, until I crossed a questionable romance(?) scene... I'll leave you to read and decide, and I'm going to continue it hopes that the ending will make up for it.

This review is from: Dragon Nimbus 01 The Glass Dragon (Paperback)
What first drew me to this book was, like most of the books I've read, the fantasy. I flipped through the first few pages in the bookstore and became intrigued enough to buy it. The characters seemed human enough and independent of one another.
Until.
As the story progresses, and the characters interact, they become more dependent on each other, not just in the relationship that characters have, but in their bases, their cores. They lost the potential I saw in the beginning, and everything became too cliche.
I've only just recently exited junior high school, being a high school sophomore, and I have to agree with my dad in that this book feels like something written for grades seven and eight. It could have been a lot better; the names need revising, the writing needs to be consistent in style, the dialogue needs to be less cheesy. I'm not planning on picking up the next in this series, and that's something I don't often do.
