It had some interesting ideas, but the story was not that enjoyable. I wished it would be over.

A lot of names were used, almost too many. It was a little stressful trying to keep track of so many different characters, names and places. The author's writing style was wordy making some events hard to follow. I've been spoiled by the writing styles and creativity of J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer, which this book did not have.

Story Brief: Fax fought and took over the Ruath lands and killed all of the ruling family except Lessa who disguised herself as an old dirty woman for about ten years. F'lar comes searching for a woman who could be the Wehrwoman (female ruler). He senses Lessa's power, finds her and brings her to the wehr (home of dragons). When the new queen dragon egg hatches (Ramoth), the dragon chooses Lessa as its partner. F'lar's dragon Mnementh mates with the dragon Ramoth which makes F'lar the new male ruler. Threads are spores which come from another planet about 200 years apart and eat all vegetation on the planet. The dragons kill off the threads. Currently, they are short on dragons. Lessa comes up with a solution.
