I enjoyed
reading this story and felt the characters and story were well developed. From reading the blurb of the story, I was
hoping to see more of the magic, mechanical dragons and air-shapes but I wasn’t
disappointed at the end of the book. I
would recommend this book to readers looking for an action story.
This book seems like it is right up my alley. I love just about any fantasy novels, especially ones having to do with demons and other creatures. It also seems like it has a lot of action and mystery involved which makes it all the more appealing to me. I would definitely like to read this book at some point in time.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems like it is right up my alley because I like scary novels. I like to play video games that have crazy creatures and killers. The trapping of the spirits part of it looks very interesting and I am definitely considering reading it. It looks like an action story and those are can be my favorite types of books.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this book is interesting to me because it's part of like a horror genre and just reading these small paragraphs makes me want to read the book. It's interesting when a guy that would want to marry her, trapped spirits to make the creature and finding out what she does after that, is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis book is something that i would love to read during my free time, i love books that have some darkness in them. This would make me g to bed late at night so i could get the last detail before going to bed.

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds interesting to me because i love anything about dragons. I’m so curious on what could happen. it’s comforting to know that you think that the characters are well developed.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of book I would definitely read. I do like mythical type books and one of my favorites are dragons. I like how you described the book to where you kind of make me want to see what happens.
