Bryan Lankford, known to many readers as a professor at the
Tulsa House of Night, was once a mischievous teen. He is
constantly in trouble and finding his way out of it;
eventually, his father gets fed up with him and banishes
him to America. Just before his departure, Bryan gets
himself into another bit of trouble-- he is Marked and
decides to become a Dragon.
He begins training as a fledgling, picking Sword Master as
his choice of profession. Anastasia is a professor at the
school. It does not take long for the two to fall in
love. He actually tries to make himself into the type of
person he believes she would like. There is always some
sort of danger going on in the House of Night books, this
one is no exception...the reader will like the change of
pace, the book is much faster after the real action starts.
This book allows the reader some insight into Dragon's
character. He is impulsive, somewhat childish, and
amusing. Anastasia is the perfect foil for Dragon. She is
much calmer, studious, and strict with herself. These two
characters are the focus of the novel.
Overall, the novel was ok. The House of Night series can
be tiring with the vocabulary utilized solely for these
books- the reader is on his/her own when it comes to
understanding some of the meanings behind the words. The
plot was ok, learning more about Dragon's character with a
hint of danger thrown in for good measure. The events were
fast-paced for the most part. This book is a quick read,
only ~140 pages. This book is definitely recommended for
those who have read and enjoyed the House of Night series.
