Will Talei and Adri's attraction prove a distraction as they set about their task to help the dragons?Perkin's imagination soars with this adventure-filled story. Talei and Adri face many obstacles from the dragons, disbelief from their fellow humans, and an ocean. Perkin's writing is easy to read and the plot moves at a nice clip.I enjoyed the rich back story of the dragons. They possessed many emotions that the reader can identify with - love, distrust, kindness, and curiosity. Perkins paints vivid pictures of the setting that resonate in the reader's mind.Talei, while only eighteen, rises to the occasion. She's strong for the young ones, and mak
es balanced decisions. Her perseverance in the face of hardship and adversity is admirable.Adri is determined and wants to do the right thing. He's sharp, full of gusto, and not afraid to brave the dangers he faces.The story is geared for young adults with Adri and Talei sharing a kiss or two. Their romance grows slowly over the course of their adventure along with mutual trust and respect. "Dragon Flame" offers an adventure full of excitement, danger, and sweet romance.
