A bit tedious
An interesting concept and story, with great descriptions of the dragon, transformations, and the time period, but very drawn out and repetitive. For example, the author would show something (great writing), but then tell readers (redundant) and then even have characters talk about it (tedious). A well written book should show not tell as well; this seems as if the author has no expectation that readers can comprehend what is shown or does not have the confidence her writing comes across clearly (I think it does). It was a bit predictable and a huge reveal is exposed 20% way through book. From there on it is very repetitive to the point that crises and the climax don't have a great impact on the reader. I started out loving the book and by halfway through I had to force myself to finish. The leads were great but the characterization of the mother and villains were irrational to the point of disbelief. I'm glad it was free and it has potential if cut down to avoid over explanation readers already can surmise from the description s.
