A new student review of Firebolt (The Dragonian Series) by Adrienne Woods

I really liked the premise of this book; dragons and fantasy worlds that are close to our own in some way are very interesting to me.  This book was good, but I feel it had a few flaws.  It seemed that important events were explained too quickly and then the next event started before the reader could get fully invested in the previous one.  This of course didn't ruin the book for me, but it did bother me somewhat.  Another thing that I feel was wrong was that a lot of events were contrived. Granted, in the next part of the series this might be given a better explanation, but as it stands now it seems contrived.

Firebolt captured my attention within the first five pages when the dragons attacked Elena and her father. The book had the perfect combination of love, hatred, fighting, and strategy. The storyline was phenomenal and Woods really worked the characters by giving them each their own distinct personality and characteristics. I felt as though I could relate to each character and I understood their role in the book. The only bad thing I noticed in the whole book were a few spelling errors, other than that, Woods put everything I could have asked for into a book. I plan on rereading this one and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. I will read it for sure!

When I requested this book, I was expecting it to be a swift, enjoyable read.  However, this was not the case.  Brooke’s poor decisiveness made me cringe.  Every decision she made seemed to be the wrong one, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in her mind when she made them.

Another problem I had with this book was the fact that Brooke wasn’t interested in just two guys (a common thing called a Love Triangle), but three guys at the same time.  Out of those three guys, only one seemed like the good guy, and he was the one who slept with Brooke’s mother!

I am overall disappointed in this book; I’d hoped it would rise above my expectations, but it only made me feel like I was wasting my time reading it.

Personally, and in my opinion, I do indeed enjoy this book. At some points I do get slightly confused due to lack of description so I cannot get a full picture of what Kellen is supposed to be seeing. I do love fantasy stories and if I haven't known better I'd probably fool myself to believe that it could have been real. The characters are intriguing to watch and planned out very well in what role they are supposed to play. In the book, I couldn't relate with any of the character but that isn't a downfall at all, instead it was nice to read about something different other than what you relate to. As a conclusion, I'm sure that if I ever bought this book it wouldn't collect dust on a shelf. I do recommend this to people who have an extraordinary imagination because this story does rely heavily on it. It is something that keeps the imagination flowing and opens up a completely different style of literature.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. At times I felt as if it was moving very slow. In total the book was well written and kept me reading for hours. It'a book you just can't put down. There's so many twists and turns and an unexpected ending. The book was fiction, however strangely believable. Kincade seems to have written about a much younger version of him which makes Alex fell so much more real. The main theme is coming of age so it is a great read for teens. Filled with drama and suspense, it has what almost every teen wants in books and reality. Conclusion: I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in paranormal stories. It's a quick read and a perfect book to keep you reading for hours. It's very relatable for anyone trying to grow up and find some peace of mind, just like Alex did.

I didn't like this book. Why? Because I really don't like much of anything. I'm extremely hard to please, and I see the negative side of everything. But "regular" people would probably like this book.

Opinion-

I liked this book, but it's not my favorite. I liked this book because it was interesting in many ways, it also makes you wonder what's going to happen next. This story was not very believable, but it is fiction. The characters were not very credible, except for Clyde because he was the most "normal" one. I did not relate to any of the characters in this book.

I didn't like this book. I I understand the whole mystery of the story is finding out what happened “that night”, but I'm the kind of reader who looks for a lot of detail. There were also no character descriptions. When I read, I need to visualize every character, and every setting in my head. Plus, I get that teens do stupid things… but climbing up an unsafe amusement park ride? Considering I would never risk my life for fun, no I don’t relate to any of these characters.

I did not like the book because I don't like books about magic. I mean time wouldn't freeze and there wouldn't be intergalactic forces trying to arrest you. Samantha was credible because she tried to live a normal life at first before anything happened. I don't relate to any of the characters because I don't have an imagination and I can't imagine living in a world with magic in it.

Personally I did not enjoy the book, but maybe someone else will. I just wasn't very interested in it. It just all depends on what you like to read. I could recommend it to other people but it's just about what you like to read. Some might like it some might not, oh well.

The main character is Alec Corbett, and he seems like a kid that's very nosey and full of adventure. Also, his father was one of the characters in the story.I didn't get much into my book at the same time. I am a slow reader, and this book didn't keep my interest. I recommend this book to people who like si-fi or fantasy books. I wouldn't recommend this book to slow readers.
