Seraphina

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was a little confusing at first, but turned out to be quite an intriguing dragon tale.  The narrator, Seraphina, is part human, part dragon.  She is extremely afraid of anyone finding out she is part dragon. Although there is a truce between the dragons and the humans, there is still an uneasy friction that is undercurrent to the peace.  Neither dragon nor human quite trust the other.  Seraphina, a gifted musician and assistant music teacher in the royal court, ends up as a friend to the Prince and Princess.  In fact, Prince Kiggs is quite enamored with her.  When Prince Rufus is found decapitated before the anniversary of the dragon treaty, there is suspicion that the dragons have broken the treaty.  Since Prince Kiggs has been impressed by Seraphina's knowledge of dragons, he enlists her help in finding the murderer.  It is hard not to be intrigued with Seraphina and her magical qualities in this magical world.  I found myself totally absorbed.  This will be a fun book for my fantasy readers.
