Firelight

Firelight by Sophie Jordan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a good, quick read. Typical young adult fantasy book, but really good. I actually found it really refreshing that the female character is the paranormal and not the male. It seems like the main male character is always the "special" one. Whether he is a vampire, a Indian tiger prince, a shadowhunter, etc., and the girl is the helpless one who always needs saving and protection. I guess Jacinda needs to be protected too, but at least she is the "special" one in this book.



Jacinda is a draki (a descendant from dragons who can change to look human). Not only that, but she is a very rare kind of draki, a fire breather. The leader draki wants to use her to make more fire breathers. For obvious reasons her mother does not particularly like this idea. Jacinda, her mother and her twin sister flee to the desert. Jacinda hates it there, but then unexpectedly finds Will. A handsome teenager whom she is drawn to. The problem is, Will and his families business is to hunt and kill draki.



This is really a good book and is a series. I also just saw that it might be made into a movie, but not till next year.

Happy Reading!
