Rat, by Melody Tink is a fantasy novel with Dragons, featuring a young girl who is slave to the dragons. I know that from that alone there are a few people leaning forward in their seats. Dragons? You say? Yes. Dragons! And the good, arrogant, kind of Dragons too! This is one of those books I find myself liking in spite of myself. The plot is a sieve, the mystery blunders along, with several premature reveals, and the romance is, quite frankly, ridiculous. Also, there were several info dumps, though of small magnitude, in the middle of the action, which really slows the pace in those areas. The reason I pressed on was because the dialogue and the characters were so enjoyable. Even the nasty people were fun to read about, with all their ridiculous foibles. If you like flawed characters, especially flawed heroines, you'll like this one. On occasion they feel inconsistent, especially the main character, but I think that's mainly because of... The Romance! The romance in the book was just ridiculous. First of all, there's no reason that the main character should love this character, or even like this character! At most, MAYBE a wary respect could have grown up between them. It let me feeling like the author put them together because these are the two main leads and they're male and female and that means they should be together. Sure, they take some time to give each other space, but it's inevitable. Remember ladies. The male you interact the most with in your life, according to novels, is your love interest. Anyway, it was a pretty good book. If you are looking for a short dragon flick, you can pick this up. That is, if you've already read all the other awesome Dragon novels out there. Some popular authors are Naomi Novik, Robin Hobb, Anne McCaffrey, and Christopher Paolini. (I'm not saying they're good, I'm saying they're popular.) I haven't read enough dragon books to know what the stand outs are, but I'm told there are some amazing ones out there. Check out my other reviews at my blog
