review 1: Please don't let the title or cover deter you as I almost did.I really liked and enjoyed this book, and am soooooooo looking forward to the next installment. It was fast paced and covered a lot of of interesting (to me and quite possible to those who enjoy urban fantasy) subject matter. I genuinely liked the major and minor characters. Aside from almost being scared away by the title/cover, I'm usually hesitant when a male author (previously unknown to me) writes a female protagonist who happens to be a Lesbian (unfortunately, I've encountered many stories where the motivation behind their character choices was, uh... lascivious - to be kind). But what a good job! Not only did the characters feel authentic, but the protagonist was a smart ass and I loved it!Before starting... more the story, many reviews mentioned many of the the grammatical mistakes. This is usually a huge no-no for me (I have a difficult time getting by them). However, I "read-listened" to the audiobook version and this was not an issue.I gave this book 4 stars owing to the amount of enjoyment it gave me. Don't get me wrong, it's not literary, but what a fun story!
review 2: So much potential here and yet it didn't quite reach it. Overall, the idea of modern day dragons and magic is quite interesting and up to a point, it is an engaging read. Myra's transformation is nicely done (even though what her cup-size has to do with anything is beyond me, but apparantly it is important). The backstory of why the dragons disappeared and why they're emerging again is OK too.But that fucking Irish accent. Was that really necessary? It may be cute when you hear it, but reading it is quite exhausting. The acceptance that magic and dragons exist could have been entire novel on it's own, but apparently the whole world shrugs and we're OK with it. So much potential untouched there.The supporting cast is a bit bland too. Again, widespread acceptance, even from scientistsIf you can put that aside, it is a fun story. less
