Book Review of Playing with Fire (Silver Dragons, Bk 1)

Playing with Fire (Silver Dragons, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I will admit to liking the character of May... other than that, I will say that the rest of the book had me doing either "oh please" or "aargh!" I stopped reading it 3 times, only to resume because there was nothing else and I CANNOT be without my daily dose of reading! He hehe...but enough of my psychoses.
About May, it is really nice to see that Ms. MacAlister has -finally!- brought forth a female main character who is able to fend for herself, who is no simpering female at the mercy of her hormones. Gabriel was one of my faves from Holy Smokes, and the fact that he betrayed the main characters in favor of his own agenda added depth to his character; but here he is another love-struck dragon in the same boat as Drake the uber-sexy. What a waste.I have really tried to like Drake and the other dragons, but they are so 2-dimensional it makes me want to cry. And once again, Aisling is clueless!!! aaarrrggghhhhh!!!
I'm ok now.
BTW, if you have not visited the otherworld.com site you will have a bit of difficulty keeping up with all the members of the L'au-dela. The cast of background characters is longer than that of Naruto Shippuuden.
