Firebolt (The Dragonian Series #1)

Firebolt by Adrienne Woods
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

*I received this eBook free from author on behalf of LaLa’s Blog for an honest review.*

Synopsis:

"Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.
Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.
Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.
Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself".

Elena Watkins life change the night she discovered the existence of Dragons, she lost her father and no longer after that begin her life in Paegeia, a place where magical beings really exist.
Elena character sometimes can be annoying, she cry and whine a lot in the beginning but considering that she had just lost her father, thrown into a foreign world and have to face things that previously only existed in fairy tales, it’s all understandable. Despite her annoying side, she’s a brave girl, still feel scared but she stop running away and face the problems. I love her sarcasm, it make me laugh quite a lot.

Many characters introduced in this book, fortunately the author have a great ability to explore each character so I can recognize and remember them all.

(view spoiler)[Things that bother me is how fast Elena and Lucian relationship developing, as well as Becky and George. And there’s Blake, my instinc tell me that there will be something among Lucian-Elena-Blake, don’t know what kind of relationship but I hope it’s not lead to a dramatic love triangle, I will hate it. (hide spoiler)]

Questions arise and that keep me turning the page, sometimes I can pull some interesting speculation from that questions but who knows, I must read the series to confirm it *grin*.

I almost give up reading YA genre because of all the drama, it makes me tired, until I find synopsis of this book and decide to give it a try. All in all, this book have an interesting story and many potential in it.

Woohoo! That's my the very first review, sorry for the messed up grammar :).
