I'm a fan of the Riley series by Keri Arthur, so I really wanted to like this book. I ended up giving it two stars however. It has a lot of potential, but in the end that's not enough.

The book opens up with Destiny waking up on a beach next to a dead man, with no idea who she is or how she got there. After a time, her memory returns and we learn that she is a seadragon who escaped from an institution that had held her captive and performed experiments on her for ten years. She meets Trae, an airdragon and a theif. From this point the plot crawls forward, so slow I was tempted to skim to the end. This and the fact that the characters were not at all interesting made this into a boring book.

Again, I really like Arthur's other work. I don't know if I'd recommend this series, though. It lacks the tight plot and action of her other books.
