What I liked about this book:
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the characters, they were so interesting. I loved the actual story and thinking about what is to come from the characters on their journey.

What I disliked about this book:
The only reason why I gave the ending a 9 was because it was a bit of a cliffhanger. Not that I don’t like cliffhangers, but they can make one anxious.

Who I would recommend this book to:
Anyone that enjoys YA, anyone that enjoys science fiction, anyone that enjoys fantasy, anyone that enjoys a quick exciting read, and anyone that wants something exciting and fun to read to their children.

What I felt the book was about:
Three teens are escaping from the general’s grip, on one of his ships when they meet his daughters. The youngest daughter is prophetic and tells of a planet that they are to go to and meet the dragon who can help them. They make a stop along the way on a mysterious planet and have to battle a strange creature. They re-board the spaceship and head off to fulfill the prophecy.

Favorite excerpts or quotes from the book:
“”It’s called hope.” “What?” “What you feel, its hope.” “Hope?” Lelea nodded. "Always choose the option that makes you feel like this."” – Page 52
