Review title: ehh.
Product review: There's nothing truly BAD about this book--the writing is competent, if not remarkable, and there are no glaring logical errors in the plot...but there's nothing really memorable about it, either. Shunlar never stepped outside her role as the stereotypical Amazon warrior, and the rest of the characters are equally flat. Creedath, the villain, is also thoroughly mediocre; sure, the author has him rape and kill a few people to show how bad he is, but it never makes any impact, somehow. We're told that he's this big, threatening, evil guy, but we're not SHOWN it. As for the plot, I'm not even sure if I remember it. The idea about crossbreeding dragons and humans was kind of interesting, but it never seemed to go anywhere. I hate to trash a first time author; I know personally how tough it is to send out that first manuscript and get rejected time and time again. But I don't want to write a less-than-honest review, either. This novel just never came alive for me.
