Interesting story as a whole. The characters were a bit weird and hard to relate to at points since they were shapeshifting dragons, but that's also what made the story realistic given their "otherness." The politics confused me a couple points, but that could also be the side effect of reading half of it and putting the book down for a couple weeks before finishing it today. As a whole, it was decently entertaining with some good character arc and thematic moments.
Rating: 3.5-4 Stars (Good).

I loved this! It was super fun, and had fantastic characters along with neat, smoothly inserted world building and a cool, fast plot.

Steampunk dragon-shifters with special powers. 'Nuff said.
Seriously, though, this was a very fun book to read! I loved the main characters (especially Zephryn *sigh*), the plot was intriguing, and it made me want to read more.
The only problem I had was that a few of the plot-points seemed to come out of nowhere and were hard for me to understand right at first. But everything eventually became straight in my head and I honestly couldn't tell you it if was the writing that gave me the problem or if it was my own dense head. :)
Fun book, looking forward to the next!
