This book is marvelous! I'll admit, I haven't read many dragon books, which is why I found this book so intriguing. The story-line is interesting and unique. I haven't laughed so hard reading a book in a while, so I enjoyed that aspect in the book as well! I love that the main character, Bryn, was so strong and witty. She is a memorable character and I love her strength.Most teens get cars or parties on their sixteenth birthday, but for Bryn, she finds out that she's a shape-shifting dragon. Worse? She's being blackmailed by a man from the Directorate, who's the government for dragons, to attend an elite school for dragons. Being the only crossbreed at the Institute for Excellence is no walk in the park.Half the people in the Institute are curious about Bryn and her abilities, while the rest hate her and wish she was never born. Still, Bryn tries to make the best out of her new life and stands up for herself, but with people out to get her, she needs a little help.Enter Zavien, a member of the black dragon clan. He's one of the only people who wants Bryn to succeed and survive during her years at the Institute. Together, they have a chance at changing the rules of the Directorates, who separate dragons by clans and rule over every aspect of their lives. Something needs to be done, and together, Zavien and Bryn are a formidable force.All Bryn wants to do is survive the year, but will she? When death threats and murder attempts start to occur, can she turn to the boy who she's falling for? The boy who she can't ever have?I loved everything about this book; the humor, the mystery, the action, the magic, and most importantly, the characters. They came to life as I was reading and I loved how vivid the writing was. I could picture everything I read about and it was simply magical! I highly recommend this book to everyone! It's an amazing book and it's great for all ages!My favorite parts:"I'm the daughter of rebel outcasts," Bryn whispered back. "I should look wild and untamed.""Is that Munch's 'The Scream'?"Bryn held her shirtfront out. "Do you like it?""It's appropriate. I've felt that way around you on several occasions."
