The Coming of Dragons (The Darkest Age #1) 
Really liked it, liked the characters, the mystery and the simplicity of style. The author wasn't superfluous with the description and emotions--but still pulled me in. I rushed through it!
3.5 stars. Not because it was awful...I just didn't get sucked in. I jumped into this book enamored with the claim that it mixes Norse customs, early Christianity, and Celtic beliefs into one story (because oh how that time period tries to pull me out of 2017!) and I was not disappointed...on most counts. The Coming of Dragons is historically accurate, full of period details, but of religion and mythology? We see fairly little. We know that Europe, like every other culture at pretty much any

This is an abosolute MUST READ! if you ever need a distraction, the two main characters are so different they are unique yet they know each other like they've know each other their whole lives. They way the books reviels aspects of the story leaves the reader desperate to read more, and they twist that just pops out knowhere in the end, there are no words i love this Author!!
Fascinating first book in a series. Lake has created an interesting YA fantasy with a Medieval feel and tone and budding friendship between the two central characters (Elspeth and Edmund) who must rise to the challenge after finding themselves in the middle of an epic battle of good versus evil.This book has plenty of action and interesting twists but it certainly leaves you wanting to read the next book as fast as possible.
I thought this was a good story, but I wasn't really engaged. Like, when I was reading it I enjoyed it, but I didn't have a hard time putting it down and I never really felt the need to pick it up. The characters felt a little flat to me, too--I never really felt what they were feeling or even sympathized. And the end--who the bad guy ended up being--was like a total slap in the face. Totally didn't see that coming, but I think that wasn't a good thing in this case--it was more like it was
Interesting story! I love the fantasy elements this book has, theres plenty of magic, battle scenes, magical swords and scary villains that should be avoided at all costs! Theres a LOT of action too, even on the first page of chapter 1 where a dragon is attacking a ship and the main characters struggle for their lives!I grew to like the characters as the story went on. I LOVED how both Elspeth and Edmund have these unwanted gifts and they have to run from countless of dangers because of them.
