Some parts of the plot were quite predictable (I won’t go into details to avoid spoilers), but the plot and worldbuilding were interesting enough for me to forget about it. The shapeshifter element is a nice twist and I liked the fact that the humans can learn to bond and ride with them. I love dragons in general and I really enjoyed picturing Adrienne Woods‘ version of them. I had some minor problems with Firebolt that prevented me from giving it the full five stars, but it is easy to say that I more than enjoyed this read. Dragons and magic actually exist, those dragons can take a human form and she will have to attend a new magical school as well… And to make things worse, an evil sorcerer might be trying to make his comeback.

Her father was killed and Elena now finds herself in a whole new world she doesn’t really understand she has a hard time taking it all in. She thinks her dad is only paranoid, but it turns out he had an excellent reason to be on the run… And that night she sees her own father turn into a dragon to fight off more of these mythical creatures. Recommended if you enjoy YA fantasy novels!Įlena Watkins doesn’t really believe in fairy tales, but her whole world is about to change as her father tells her they have to leave their home yet again. I will definitely continue this series as I’m really curious what is going to happen with the main characters and their world. I do have to comment that some aspects of the story are a bit predictable and the novel ended with a big cliffhanger, but those were only minor setbacks in an otherwise solid story. The worldbuilding is excellently done and with a fast pace and easy-to-read prose this first book in The Dragonian series is without doubt a quick and entertaining read. I loved the idea of dragons being some kind of ‘shapeshifters’ and both dragons and humans attending the same magic school. Fantasy stories with dragons are among my favorites and Firebolt turned out to be even better than I was originally hoping for.

As soon as I saw the blurb and read it was about dragons, I was sold. Laura at LaLa’s Blog contacted me last month with the question if I wanted to receive an e-copy of Firebolt in exchange for an honest review (with the permission of the author Adrienne Woods). *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me in exchange for an honest review. “If your mind and heart are in the same place, you can do whatever you want.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.
