    She could have had a great story.  Instead, it's just an okay story.
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016*

First of all, I want to say that I'd have given this a 2.5 star for the concept of the story line if the option was there, but I couldn't in good conscience bump it up to a 3 star.  The story started out with great promise, but quickly fell flat. I wanted more character development.  The dragon was a major disappointment.  I felt she could have done so much more with him.  I also think she could have woven bits and pieces of the backstory throughout the book instead of dumping it all on the reader at the end.  All in all, I felt it the work of a good writer, but a lazy writer who did the bare necessities to get the story to print... right down to the poor editing and sentence structure; which I found irritatingly distracting, but would have been easier to overlook if the story was faster paced and more interesting.. I want to wag my finger and say "shame on you" for her laziness when she clearly had the skills to do better. Maybe it's just me, but since it's clear she has writing skills, I feel a little cheated that she didn't give this story her all and use those skills to their fullest. She could have had a great story.  Instead, it's just an okay story.  This is the first novel I've read from this author, so I'd give her another try just because I recognize her latent talent, but if she's consistent in her slow and lazy style of writing in the next book of hers that I read will be the last book  of hers that.I read.

    Potential to be great but falls flat
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012*

First let me say I LOVE the idea of this book. I love the concept. The author definitely has a way with words and her descriptiveness is really well done. For that I would give this book 2.5 stars. But that's about it. I do NOT understand the 5 star reviews. Come on people. 5 stars?! The story starts out promising with a mysterious dragon prince and a brave young woman volunteering to be his bride so that her good friend can marry the man she loves. But once at the castle the author inexplicably stops the story development. It then reads more like a diary of the main characters daily activities. I mean really. Right down to the most boring and mundane minutiae. Her meals. Her gowns. Her dreams. Her every thought about the simplest things. It is almost as if the author just got lazy and didn't want to take the time to develop an actual story. Page after page of this nonsense. There was NO need for this. And meanwhile you hardly see or hear from the dragon prince. He is just scenery. No depth. No breadth to his character. He is painfully one dimensional. As story like this would have been better told from third person so he could be developed more. So I yawned and limped through the bulk of the book. A lot of the conversation was corny as well. And the ending was rushed like the ending of a Scooby Doo episode. Here again the author could have done so much more. But it was just as flat and boring as the middle of the book. It was one long recitation by the dragon about why he is cursed and why he allowed woman after woman to come to their deaths. I'm sorry but it was silly and half thought out. This book could have been so much more. I'm glad I got it free. I have no idea why anyone would rate it a 5 star. Have we been dummed down this badly by all these new self publishers? I don't know. To the author I say nice try but this story needs more meat. More sustenance. More action. Less first person musings about the weather and her gowns.

    I wanted to like it. It started off really well
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2016*

This book was free with Prime. I wanted to like it. It started off really well. She was rebellious and a kind of a trouble-maker but good at heart. The Dragon's method of choosing his brides was consistent with the reason for choosing them in the first place...kind of a twist on stories where a virgin had to be sacrificed to the volcano god to appease him...but in this case was to fulfill a curse (no spoiler here). I don't understand the brides' age limit on the curse though. Was the sorcerer that strategic? Also, there was a hiccup on the finishing of the painting. Once completed that should've been the trigger, not when he "saw" it. It would've have ended better if the trigger and her trip into a downward spiral happened at the same time...a better tragic ending. As for the Dragon, I thought the story would've been about him as well but it wasn't. He seem to just spend time doing a whole lot of nothing. The author didn't allow him to entertain any feelings, even negative ones, so there was no connection between the two, no sparks, even in the end. There was also potential for this to be a "dark" love story. Maybe she could do a re-write! :)
