Review:
At first I was daunted by the length of this book, but you shouldn't let this put you off! The concept is interesting and keeps at a steady pace, with a colourful array of characters and a well-thought out world to place them in.
The main character is well fleshed out with a colourful past and interesting relationship with the secondary and minor characters in the book. One of the main secondary characters, a shape-shifting dragon, asks the questions that help the reader better understand the story and history of the overall story.
I look forward to reading more from this writer. Below is the author's own 'blurb' for the book; click on the image at the end to go to the Amazon UK site to purchase your copy now!
"...Do you know what it's like to kill without regret?"
Eira only knew one thing in life. To kill. Designed to be an emotionless killing machine of war she had no desire to be a puppet of another's master plan. Escape was the only option. A normal, free life was the only goal. Labeled as a failure, she took the opportunity to run and was hunted.
"...Do you know what it's like to kill without being able to feel?"
Now given a second chance at life thanks to a mysterious dragon, Eira is forced to make a crucial decision. Accept his help to gain her desired freedom or keep running with an eye over her shoulder.
"...Do you know what it's like to live in hell?"
But, can she really trust him?
"...Didn't think so..."
