Captivating plot, engaging prose and intriguing characters. I loved it and would recommend it to everyone. It was a one sit read for me.

I loved the idea behind this book, I love dragon books and when I first heard about this book I was super excited to read this book and I started it as soon as I received it. I'm disappointed to say that I didn't like this book at all, I had such a hard time getting through it, I liked the concept of the story, and I love the magical world with the dragons, I had a hard time connecting with the characters, I found that I just didn't care what happened to them. However, I would say that my biggest issue with this story is the writing, to me it looks like the writer has a hard time with dialogue, it looks some how incomplete with the short paragraphs. Regardless I'm not giving up on the writer or the series, hoping the writing improves.

Firebolt is like a breath of fresh air. The ideas in the story are ingenious and unique. The author captures the mannerisms and characteristics of a sixteen-year-old girl beautifully, while not allowing the story to take on a juvenile tone. This is the beginning of a promising, “edge of your seat” series about dragons, magic, danger, love, loss, and coming of age.
As the very first chapter unfolded, I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what happens to our main character, Elena. I was hit with intrigue, peril, and heartache. I was brought to believe that dragons were real, and introduced to Dragonia. Instead of bringing me in to an unbelievable fantasy world, the author took me in to a world quite similar to our own, minus dragons. I was able to relate to and live through our heroine as she built relationships in this new, but somewhat familiar, world that she was thrown in to. I learned of the histories of Dragonia, along with Elena, and fell in love with all the beautiful teenage boys with the same unadulterated teenage hormones she felt. When Elena makes her choice to take on her heroine’s journey, I was making the choice right alongside of her.
By time I finished this book I had already bought the next few in the series. Adrienne Woods did a fantastic job of creating this world that is full of magic, splendor, and unbelievable things, all while keeping you grounded with the major ties to the real world. Her creation of characters that are both human and dragon to go along with the old idea of “dragon riders” is definitely new and exceptional. I thoroughly believed I was taking this journey with a group of sixteen-year-old kids, yet never felt like the story was “too young” or immature for me. I cannot wait to finish this series.

This book was pretty awesome. The heroine of this book in my opinion has times that she is really strong and others petty but all in all i like her. The storyline is amazing. I liked this book so much i literally just got the reat of the series.

I really enjoyed the story. The characters were interesting in the storyline was very easy to follow. I will suggest a story to my friends.
