Seraphina (Seraphina #1)
by
Rachel Hartman (Goodreads Author)
Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.

What does it take to inspire someone to read a book?
Is it enough to give a heartfelt plea to the book's worthiness?
Maybe a meme? Or jazzhands? Will jazzhands convince you?
I know, a meme about jazzhands! Admit it! This is pretty damn irresistible!
Okay, well, if you're one of those strange people who would choose a convincing, well-informed review over a meme of a tiny turtle doing jazzhands then...

I'll admit it: I was incredibly worried about this one. I'm always a bit wary when an author seems nice and friendly and everybody likes them on here. I know, that seems like a stupid thing to say, but it always sits in the back of my mind that ... maybe people are giving this book five stars because they like the author. Rest assured: THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I mean, sure, people who liked the book probably like Hartman too, but it's not the only reason. This book deserves its five stars; it deser...more

It's a good book. I liked Orma. Hartman, worldbuilding, good.
Unfortunately, because I'm a horrible person, I had problems with it. Yes, go ahead and punch me, I probably deserve it.
So. Review is going to contain spoilers. Not huge spoilers, maybe ones that most people could probably guess. Proceed with caution? Maybe? I don't know, do whatever you want.
This book was okay but it could’ve been better.

Sometimes you read a book, agree with all positive reviews of it, but it just doesn't work for you. That's the case with Seraphina and me.
Whatever you've read in 5-star reviews here, on Goodreads, is all true. Seraphina is an intelligent fantasy set in a well-realized medieval land of Goredd which is celebrating 40-year anniversary of its peace treaty with the nation of dragons.

I hate it when I have the impression that I am reading a different book from other readers whose opinion I value. Hate it. But it happens and unfortunately, it happened with this book. I've read some really glowing reviews but, alas, I can't just - partially - share the love.
Objectively, Seraphina meets all the requirements to become the next epic fantasy series: it has an original take on a fairly exploited theme - dragons -, an amazing world-building, a well formed, strong main character, a 5...more

Fantasy lovers, rejoice!
This is an amazing debut novel, and I feel confident that we have a new series to devour, covet, and hoard ARCs of in a cave somewhere. Not that I do that.
This is the story of two societies, diametrically different, but living together under a fragile peace treaty. The dragons are analytical thinkers who don’t understand emotion, art, or music. They view emotion and attachment as distasteful and are taught strict control. But the humans are interesting to them, i...more

Oh yes, Rachel Hartman. YES!
This.was.good.
I usually don't pick up many high fantasy novels. For example, I hate Lord of the Rings. Don't flame me! It's just that it's not usually a genre I mesh well with. In fact, I think aside from Seraphina I have read a grand total of two high fantasy books this year: Eon: Dragoneye Reborn and Eona: The Last Dragoneye. Coincidentally, all three have dragons in them.

How Seraphina is different from nearly all the young adult novels out there, especially of the fantasy/paranormal variety:
1. There isn't a single moment in here where you'll want to a) throttle any of the main characters, b) stab yourself in the eye, or c) smirk at the cheesy dialogue.
2. You know all those books with dragons? The ones that seem either too clichéd or too different from what you imagined dragons as? Seraphina is about as far from those books as it gets. In fact, it's in another l...more

This is one of the most unique dragon books you'll ever read. (I read it twice, and it isn't even out yet!) You see, in Seraphina's world, dragons are able to take human shape--and messy, sloppy human emotions. Seraphina's father fell in love with a beautiful singer and musician, and married her, and got a surprise. Now Seraphina is the assistant to the royal music master, struggling to keep her birth a secret, and caught up in the tensions that surround the celebrations for the 40th anniversary...more

I have so much love for Rachel Hartman and this book! My five-star ratings are few and far between, but I’d give Seraphina ten if I could. It was so easy to get lost in this world of humans, dragons and those in-between – I still haven’t found my way back.
Hartman’s dragons are magnificent creatures, full of intersting paradoxes. On a physical level, they produce fire, but on an emotional level, they’re cold and tightly controlled. They go to great lengths to remain emotionless, even though thei...more

Seraphina is an epic fantasy exactly how I like it. Some might find it slow, maybe even boring, but I revel in its kind of detailed world-building and character development. The story unfolds very slowly – but honestly, I couldn't care less. There are so many interesting details to find out about Seraphina's world, her past, her love for music, her relationships.

I can count on one hand the number of fantasy books I've enjoyed, but after reading Kat Kennedy's glowing review of Seraphina, I was intrigued by the promise of smart heroines, dragons, and jazz hands. Really, who can turn down jazz hands?
With that in mind, I eagerly started this book. Then I got to mentions of saarantrai, houppelande, and quigutl.

As you can see, I’m completely fascinated with the world Hartman has created. It’s not often a book inspires me to pick up a pencil/paint brush and attempt to draw how I imagined the characters to look like but I had fun.
Saints in Heaven, where do I start?
I was sold on this book even before reading a single word. An amazing world, an exciting story coupled with fascinating characters and dragons. What more could you ask for?

“Scattered and peculiar- some of us were sceptical and bitter- we were a people. And I was at the hub of this enormous wheel. I could bring us together. In a way, I already had.”

Seraphina is a wonderful book that a great many people will start and not finish.
They will start it because the premise is interesting and unique: Ms. Hartman has created a medieval world where dragons can transform into human shape and co-exist, albeit precariously, with humans. The dragons find the humans interesting. The humans find the dragons, even in human-form, repulsive. At times, the interspecies struggles closely resemble mutual racial discrimination, allowing for some interesting para...more

Seraphina was one of the books I was most looking forward to reading this year. In addition to having nearly universal positive reviews from all of my friends, being a New York Times bestseller, and having an interesting premise, I also really enjoy Rachel Hartman's reviews, comments, and blogposts. After finishing this book, I can understand why it has earned so much praise, but in the end it just didn't resonate with me.

CAUTION: Long Review
Seraphina is about a girl struggling to protect her secret while she try to stop a war from breaking out between humans and dragons. Her secret may be the key to do so, but if she reveals it her secret may mean her death.
The story had around 115,000 words and leaned toward a slow pace. The plot did not drag but I would have prefer it to be shorter. A few things here and there could have been condensed to quicken the pace.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that writing a review about a book you liked is significantly more difficult than writing one about a book you hated. It's even harder when the book is one gathering quite a lot of hype and you feel like you can't possibly say anything new or exciting about it.
