Winging It (Dragon Diaries #2) by Deborah Cooke Review


5 STARS

I am really in love with this series it is just beautiful. It is nice to see even from the beginning of this novel how much Zoe has developed from the first book and is much bolder and more attuned with her Wyvern powers.

In this novel Zoe and her fellow Pyr (Liam, Nick and Garret) must deal with the Mages once again as they did in the first novel. On top of this Zoe must has to deal with her parents possibly splitting up, her best friend Megan who she is constantly headbutting with lately and try and balance homework and school on top of that. Not to mention Jared keeps giving Zoe hot and cold signals. So Zoe isn't very happy even with her sixteenth birthday coming up.

Even though this novel didn't have as much action as it's predecessor it worked heavily on character development and Zoe working on developing her Wyvern abilities.

Definitely can't wait for Blazing the Trail.

Flying Blind (Dragon Diaries #1) by Deborah Cooke




Note: This was originally reviewed in March and appeared on my goodreads

5 Stars
What else can I say, I absolutely loved this book.
I havn't read any dragon books before this but it was definitely worth venturing through and I couldn't of asked for a perfect book to go into as a newbie dragon reader.
I will have to get my hands on the next book and I also found out it is actually a spin off so I better find the original book series while I am at it.(although it is not necessary to when reading this.)
All the characters were greatly developed and all weren't cast aside they all had a significance and a role to play in the story.
Zoe's point of view was great to read from and I definitely felt like a 15-year-old girl again except with awesome dragon powers.
There was enough romance that was satisfying but wasn't the whole plot of the book and I think was built up perfectly.
I love that Zoe had to work at her powers and they weren't given to her on a silver platter and other characters particularly Jared telling her to not expect her powers to come if she isn't even going to try and work at them.
Zoe was very intelligent at times and I loved watching her grow immensely throughout the book and wasn't bothered by her mistakes since there was consequences to her actions.
Although it is a spin off I didn't feel like I had missed out on anything and I understood what was going on.
I honestly recommend this book to anyone because I now want to read more dragon stories.
