Review: Frustrating Read and Not a Happily Ever After Read
Rating: 2 out of 5

First, this book is part of a series and Definitely NOT a stand alone book.This book, though intriguing in premise, is a frustrating read for me particularly because the heroine is an OVER the top 'reluctant' and selfish heroine. I liked the idea of a reluctant character but to have the main character reluctant and constantly fighting against the reality of the created world through the end made it imposible for me to be emersed into the story.The author tried to explain why the heroine is reluctant and constantly saying "I" "me" and "myself" by STATING a fire accident that happened a year ago and that the heroine is suffering constant nightmares from it but we are never shown, not even told what the recurring nightmare is. (Just barely in the product description) That's why I cannot sympathized with her, the reader is just CONSTANTLY told about 'nightmares' that is making the heroine 'insomniac' but what I want to know is 'what is the nightmare?' I wonder though if I missed it because I have to skip some parts where she keeps repeating herself over and over but I don't think so. Or maybe it will be addressed on the next books, I may never know.When she left the hero at the end of the book that's when I realized this book is not a stand alone sereies but has a second (or more) books coming. Considering the author did not endeared the heroine to me in this first book, it is unlikely that I will pick up the next book.The hero though is intriguing in the shelter of mystery that sorrounds him. He is still a mysterious character at the end of this book and if I ever read through this book it's only because of him. I actually liked the secondary characters better than the heroine because at least they helped me understand half what is happening in the story and explain the dynamics of the created world.Overall, we have a super reluctant and selfish heroine who was tricked into summoning two dragons and despite the knowledge that the supposedly valuable dragons' life depends on her staying put, she left them anyway because she has to think by herself, she has to go back to her normal life, she does not want...she...actually the statement is "I," "I," and more "I" from her.If you like a story filled with mysteries that will not be resolved (not even half) at the end of the book then you might enjoy reading this book.
