Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
When the Emperor dies, the five royal houses of Etrusia attend the Call, where one of
their own will be selected to compete for the throne. It is always the oldest child, the one
who has been preparing for years to compete in the Trial. But this year is different.
Thoughts:
The beginning was predictable but I do enjoy a good dragon book. This helped put me back
into a fantasy mood and out of my sci-fi kick. Each household has a weak point as well as a
strength, the biggest mistake is picking a favorite too early. Has a lot og Game of Thrones
vibes so my expectations of murder adn subterfuge was pretty high. I'm curious where book
two will lead us.
The stakes get higher in the second half of the book and some twists I didn't see coming.
Emelia is my favorite contender but Jessica writes a good villain in Hyperia. Ajax is the
most personable character and I look forward to seeing him change. Five POVs is
a lot to manage yet somehow this works for the linear story line.
Overall I recommend this if you`re wanting a little dragon in your life.
TTFN,
Ashley
