Destiny by Shannon Pemrick

2.0

I really wanted to like this book - it has a lot of potential.

The main character Eira is a nu-human, genetically engineered to be stronger and faster than ordinary humans. She was trained as an assassin, escaped her former master, and is on the run from Hunters trying to kill her.

A shape shifting dragon Rai saves her life and goes with her to kill her former master.



Eira was a really difficult character to like. For saying she has no emotions and no friends, she has emotions she’s denying and even more friends she treats poorly.

I was hoping it would develop her character and it might later in the series, but it really doesn’t in book one.


This book could use a big round of editing. For over 400 pages, not a lot of plot happens.

I really liked how Rai is unconsciously protective of Eira, and how it’s a slow build to a relationship, but I just couldn’t focus on the book.
