I have to say that I enjoyed knowing the created world in this paranormal story. The dragon myths, humans, and the hierarchy in the created world is a perfect environment for intrigue of all kinds. It is a volatile world where anything can happen and with the right characters will be a hit. It is a world I would have love visiting again.Unfortunately, the main characters in this story did not measure up. Although they started likable and lovable, they ended up a perfect example of passivity - and forgettable characters.The hero, with all his rank and characteristics as a seasoned warrior would have continue to entertain but for some reason he ended up sounding just like teenage boy wanting his father's  and peers' approval. I am not saying...come to think of it, that's his main goal in life and he used the heroine, his rank, and even the safety of his abused/battered mother to achieve that goal. He is a passive brat that never cared for anyone else until his favorite toy/lover - the heroine - is taken from him. Then he throw tantrum and took action - which is good for the plot of the story.The heroine is equally lovable in the beginning. I can totally sympathize with her tragic situation and was rooting for her success. Unfortunately she ended up lacking because for all the emotional abuse, and betrayal she took from the hero, she went back to him anyway. *Spoiler* The betrayal being that the hero claimed her by tying a necklace to her neck that cannot be removed only because he can use her to better his standing before his fellow warrior and to hopefully gain his father's approval. *spoiler ends* Her reason: she love him despite his abuse and betrayal. Doormat alarm anyone?The secondary characters however are remarkable. I would have prefer them to be the main character than these two.Overall, the book has a great world with weak, forgettable characters which in the end will make this book forgettable.
