Ever since I was young, I have had a strict dragon-avoiding policy, but I decided to temporarily suspend it for FIRELIGHT, and I'm glad I did. The book is about a girl named Jacinda who is a draki (sort of a human-dragon combo deal) who is forced to flee her home, and winds up falling for a boy whose family hunts Jacinda's kind. What I most appreciated about the book is Jacinda's character. She seemed to know exactly who she was, and wanted to stay that way. I especially enjoyed Jacinda's determination to cling to her identity no matter how difficult or painful it was-- and I loved the role that Will, the love interest, played in that struggle. The two characters had great chemistry-- my favorite scenes are the ones in which Will and Jacinda are together, which is definitely a good sign for a paranormal romance-- but their romance also wasn't based purely on physical attraction, which I appreciated. I found myself wishing that the end had been more satisfying in terms of resolving some of the conflicts the book builds up, but I'll definitely be reading the next installment.
