In this world, there are dragon hunters, who kill “drakis” in their dragon forms. She mostly lives in her human form because it’s dangerous to take her “draki” form. Jacinda is a dragon, who can shapeshift into human form. SKIP TO THE NEXT SECTION IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS. Some of my favorite people, including my youngest daughter, love romances. I’m evaluating Firelight by Sophie Jordan on its own merits, trying my best to be fair and balanced. So, here’s the deal: I’m not evaluating this according to my likes or dislikes.
I didn’t realize when I bought this book that it was primarily a romance. “Twilight” fans ready to move beyond vampires will jump right in.I have to say up front: I am not a fan of romance novels. This distinctive twist on the popular supernatural romance theme will appeal to fans of the genre, even if a lack of resolution at this story's culmination may frustrate some readers. Being near a hunter is the most dangerous choice Jacinda can make, yet her desire for him–and need to preserve her inner dragon–cannot be ignored. When Will turns out to be a classmate, Jacinda finds that her inexplicable attraction to him keeps her feel of fire and flight alive. Masquerading as a typical high school student would bury Jacinda's draki nature until it died out. Rather than suffer the pride's punishment for her daughter's risky behavior, Jacinda's mother decides the family should flee to live among regular humans.
Jacinda's determination to do things her own way finds her nearly captured by dragon hunters, but a surprisingly kind young hunter named Will allows her to escape. Unique and invaluable to her “pride,” the 16-year-old is kept on a short leash, and it has already been ordained that she will mate with the alpha male, Cassian. Jacinda is extraordinary–even for a draki (descendants of dragons who can shift into human form): she is a fire-breather. Here’s the synopsis for Firelight by Sophie Jordan:
