I just recently got into folklore, so this new mix of history, legends, and dragons was really new for me. I was pleased to find outthat Legend of the Oceina Dragon just back story, but secrets, mysteries, and love. It was a mix of things we're all accustomed to, and then a dash of pure originality. Thestory line is strong and really grips a reader; I think that's most important when it comes down to it. You can't be an amazing writer and then lack in the story-tellingdepartment--failing to tell your own character's story is a no-no. But Jenkins is the triple threat; her writing is spunky, exciting, and classical. I appreciate The Dragon Saga a lot because it's the `turn of events' I've been waiting for.I don't think there's anything worst than one-sided love. When I was first introduced to Tai and Darien I thought them to be a very odd couple, seeing as they didn't get along to begin with. But I find that to be the mystery of life--two opposites do attract. Jenkins really captured this in a way that keeps a reader going from one page to another, all while leaving them waiting with bated breath as the story slowly unfolds. The saying, "You never know how strong you are until you're fighting for your life," really comes into play with this novel. Danger seems to bring people together, and in a war to save their nation, Tai and Darien really proved to be strong, independent characters. I must say, I was surprised.
