This for me was much better than Iron Flame. The first half of the book felt really repetitive and it was like reading Iron Flame again. The 2nd half of the book there was finally some good plot twists that grabbed my interest. 

I was really hoping to see more changes with Xaden but it really never happened and we have to wait until the next book with the same cliffhanger as the last book. 

My biggest gripe with this series is the lack of depth of characters. The side characters are so interchangeable and I can't recall any of the their names. 

The dragons play a big role in the story and I will probably keep reading to see what happens. 

I have not enjoyed this narrator from the first book but I do not want to invest in reading either. The narrator seems to start screaming and talking a lot faster during all the fight scenes.
