Publisher's Summary

Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were just meteorites - six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell. When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened.

More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

The war began suddenly. Survivors called it the "apocalypse" - nine billion people killed in an afternoon. Then the dragons revealed themselves, burning huge swaths of what remained, taunting and mocking and murdering the survivors.

Four leaders arose: the Wizard, the Dragon Rider, the Monk, and the Dragon Slayer. Allied with the rebel dragon, they waged war for years until they, too, were defeated, scattered, or killed.

When the war ended, only one dragon remained...but that single dragon was enough to plunge the world into tyranny.

It was boring and plastic

The world building gave this story mounds of potential, but it was just so boring!!!
I didn’t feel for any of the characters, some characters were simply useless, and the main characters, o my gods!

He was so boring! When you weren’t being force fed how great and virtuous he was, he was having a crisis that didn’t need to happen.
I’m all for paragons, but he just wasn’t one, so the fact that he only had one flaw that hardly ever came up, and really didn’t effect him just made him feel fake.

The one time he wasn’t a complete bore, was when he was being naive and a bit of a whining bitch..
