Six years ago, five dragon eggs were taken from the various kingdoms of Pyrrhia. Raised in a cave, they are believed to be the fulfillment of prophecy- the ones who will end the long-standing war between three sisters for control of the SandWing throne. But one day, the young dragons escape the cave. Their newfound freedom is thrilling but short-lived; they soon find themselves caught in a tangled web of war and deception. Are they truly special? Or were the prophecies wrong?
Meh. This was okay. It was geared towards the same age range as Percy Jackson, but this one felt more juvenile (less enjoyable for adults). The number of dragons and tribes was hard for me to track (perhaps because the dragon's names were nouns), and the first book wasn't self-contained- it felt more like the first chapter of a much larger story. That said, the epilogue made things interesting . . . and I'm glad my son really likes these.
