Review: Trial of the Cursed Egg by Serenity Rayne

Trial of the Cursed Egg: Dragonis Academy Year One by Serenity Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really wanted to LOVE LOVE this book, but I only liked it. Perhaps I should explain...

Mina was raised by a man who pushed her beyond what would be considered normal. At first you think it's an overprotective father who just wanted to make sure she could take care of herself in a world that would take who she is and fear her or want to rid the world of her, or both... what we find out later shocks the heck out of us. (You'll have to read to find out!)

For year one of an academy book, I expected more friend groups in her peers other than her mate's (Abraxis) sister, Cora. Instead, you only get to know her nest mates. It feels like there should be more meat to the first year; bonds formed, friends lost, enemies made (and Ms. Rayne does that in spades!).

I feel some of the scenes were rushed through and the battles could have been drawn out a little bit.

Now, my nit picking aside, I was drawn into this book and flipping way past my bedtime. So that's why this book gets my 4 star rating. It deserves accolades for Mina and her kick ass attitude, and for Abraxis and his touch her and die vibes. Character development, CHECK CHECK CHECK!

I'd like to thank the author and Literary Inspired for allowing me the pleasure of reading this book.
