Sounds like I may still enjoy this one, despite those not so easy to connect with characters. I will just go into it knowing I may have issues with them. You said you loved the dragons though, yay! I love the cover, too!Gina @ My Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895568426820464572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620897660042208848.post-75048679866250425252011-11-30T17:49:13.601-05:002011-11-30T17:49:13.601-05:00The cover of this book was very eye-catching for m...The cover of this book was very eye-catching for me, so I really want to read this one.

I can see why you had mixed feelings though, if you weren't truly able to connect with the characters.

I can remember liking Tess for the most part, but I wasn't overly attached to any of the characters, this one was definitely more plot-driven and world-driven for me.
