Review
This was my first book from Donna Grant and I really enjoyed it. I think I would have benefited from reading previous books out of curiosity of the previous plot points and it is definitely not a stand alone. I felt a connection to the story and the plot was good. I liked reading about their world and I enjoyed reading about all of the different characters. This is the first book that has had so many characters and I enjoyed it. Even though this is not the first book in the series, things were well explained about the history of the King Dragons. I appreciate that in a story.
What I liked:
The main male protagonist was a nice guy that was troubled by things going on in his main land. I love reading books that have a different world as well as the one we live in, it's interesting to see what the characters do in each world.
Characters: I loved V, he is a Dragon King who was sleeping for many many years and that gave me a vibe of Sleeping Beauty and that made me like the story even more. As Aurora was female and V was male, I liked the role reversal and the little hint of a retelling. And that is one of the things that made this story for me unique. Claire's character I really liked, she seemed like a good girl looking for love, she had many dating mishaps and was not having any luck in the dating world. I felt like she was emotional at times and too attached to a previous guys she was dating, but what it came to V, she was doing things she wouldn't normally do. Not a good girl turned bad, more of a go-getter, and I loved that for her because she was no longer sad, she was more realistic. Claire was very loyal and I admired that about her and it made her relationship with V better and more transparent.
What I didn't like:
The aspect of having a blog about dating was great, getting advice and sharing experiences is an awesome way to communicate with the dating community, but I could have done without reading what was actually written on the blog. I don't think it was necessary for the story and it just made the book a little bit longer. The ending wasn't wrapped up in a pretty bow like I like them but it makes me curious and I'm anticipating the next book to see what happens to the characters.
