WARNING: This review may contain spoilers. 

The first few pages really pulled me deeper into the story because the scenes were so intense! Imagine you are Elena and you don’t believe in fairytales then right there everything about dragons and magic unfolds in front of your eyes! It was really interesting and of course, dragons!!!

But then in the succeeding parts where Paegeia happened, it went downhill. I got confused when she woke up in Paegeia without questioning who killed his father and why the dragons killed him. Maybe the next book might enlighten me on the reason why his father did that and why they are being chased by dragons (I hope so).

The love story between Elena and Lucian seems so rushed. I must admit that I skipped some of their “sweet” conversations because it is boring and bland. I can’t feel the connection between them and for me, Lucian is too good to be true. I had that weird feeling about him hiding too many secrets which are not good and a part of me hates Elena for complaining too much just because it is hard.

There is also a sudden shift in her character which I noticed – for being a crybaby into being brave and fearless all of a sudden which really made me confused but even though I was confused most of the time, I tried so hard to understand her character because she’s only sixteen. Is it just me or there is really something wrong with the writing style? This book could’ve been great.

Overall, I enjoyed some scenes and parts of Firebolt which is a positive basis for me to read the next series.

I can recommend this book IF you are interested in people-transforming-into-dragons and IF YOU CAN TOLERATE the things I didn’t like from this book.

Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.

Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.

Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.

Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself.
