Shadow of the Dragon

review 1: Shadow of the dragon Book one: KiraBy: Kate O'HearnKira is twelve and strong-willed. Her dad is a old retired knight of the king. She wishes with all of her heart to own her own dragon.But sadly this will not ever happen because of the first law. In the first law all girls must be married by age thirteen. Kira despises it she has no choice. Then Lord Dorcon comes and burns down her house, takes away her parents, brother and sister. Only Kira and her younger sister Elspeth are not in his clutches. Kira and Elspeth must flee and make friends with some interesting "people".If you don't mind a little bit of bloody/ gross stuff would definitely like this book but even if you don't it's a really good book.
review 2: Well, all I can say is, I was 20 minutes late to wo... morerk today because I got so caught up this book. Which is sort of puzzling because it's actually not that amazing a book. All of the characters are quite one-dimensional (except maybe the dragons) and you've read the plot before (terrible king, prophecy of girl warrior, all girls must die, big war, suffering, escape, girl in triumph on dragonback). However the action is non-stop and there are enough tantalizing questions to make me not put the book down for an entire day. That being said and even knowing that it says Book 1 on the cover... this book ends before anything is satisfactorily resolved and with (spoiler alert) with the words, "What have I done?" being gasped in horror by the good wizard.But you really can't argue with being 20 minutes late to work... less
