"I liked the dragon aspect of this chosen one book, especially as they aren't the endearing, fun, noble and powerful creatures of most of the dragons that I see these days. The dragons in this woman of steel story are the much more likely the wild monsters that show up in mythology or the terrifying, but still majestic beasts that everyone wants to see dead."

"An amazing tale of intrigue, cryptic prophecies, and, best of all, dragons. While adult readers may find these cryptic prophecies a tad obvious, the story itself is masterfully penned. Carey has done a superb job in creating a tumultuous world in which humans and dragons struggle to coexist, indeed a world in which humans and humans seem to struggle to coexist.<br/><br/>The main character, Princess Rosalind, appears at times to be your typical self-absorbed princess, but throughout the story she develops a multifaceted personality. Even the dragons in the story have this same depth of character and one simply cannot help but fall in love with each and every one of them.<br/><br/>Though I worried this would be another in a long of predicatable medieval fantasies (and at times, I must admit, it was) the story still had its share of surprises. In the end, I am not remotely ashamed to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it is a nice addition to any YA collection."
