DragonSpell... not my favorite.

This book is part 1 of a fantasy series by Donita K. Paul. I was drawn to this book because of its interesting name and cover, but I was disappointed by it's contents. I found this novel to be fast-paced and the dialogue very unintelligent. I hate posting a review like this, but I was just very unimpressed by the story itself. I did like the central themes of it, however.

The characters, I found, had little growth and development. Kale, the main character, goes through a journey of self-discovery... without much self-discovery. Also, nothing bad really happens to her, until after each mission. Saving Celisse, rescuing Leetu; the bad things happened after they were saved. I found this unrealistic. Shouldn't something have gone wrong through each rescue mission? Well, that's all I really have to say about this one. Perhaps I should just stick with what I know. Journeying outside my fiction comfort-zone never works out well for me.
