Hm, how do I feel about this book. I'm not quite sure. It wasn't BAD, the characters were okay, no one really bothered me too much. And they developed well enough through the story. But I still feel like this book had so many ideas and wanted to be so much, but only had time to scrape the surface of each tidbit: time travel, dragons, cults, love triangles, twin brothers set against one another, gamer girl main character trying to support her and her grandpa since her mother and father are dead, conspiracies... see what I mean? It was too much. The time travel bits had some holes in it too, I'm not quite sure how it works, and I don't think the time travelers know either, because I think stuff was just made up on the spot. The main element that had me intrigued were the dragons. I guess Emmy is cool. I dunno, I just wasn't feeling this book. It has its moments of older-teen gore, but the writing style is perhaps 11+. I'll read book two, but hopefully it picks a direction and sticks with it.
