We love those fantasy books where an entire world is created and we have time to get to know the characters before the last page. We also appreciate it when we don't have to learn an entirely new language in order to understand the story. Let's just keep it simple and we'll all enjoy the plot twisting.
Even after four decades, the relationship between the kingdom of Goredd and the dragons, hangs in the balance. Seraphina, a gifted musician, joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered and a new plot is hatched to destroy the tenuous peace treaty. Involuntarily thrown into the thick of the mystery, Seraphina is partnered with the handsome and dashing captain of the Queen's Guard, Prince Lucian Kiggs. Both have family secrets and one may end up destroying the entire kingdom if they are discovered.
Rachel Hartman has crafted a fantastic plot, involving shape-shifting dragons in an alternative- medieval world. Fans of Eragon or Lord Of The Rings, will quickly add Seraphina to their list of favorites. Our only caution with this one- read slowly, because you'll have to wait awhile for book two.
