It's not a bad fantasy adventure, but lots of it just isn't all that amazing. Aside from Arxad, most of the characters aren't all that interesting and full of depth. I do like Jason and Koren, and Elyssa's not bad, but they are rather one-dimensional. Tibalt and Randall are too, but they're so much fun and awesome that it's okay. Besides, they're secondary characters, so I can cut them some slack.

Lots of the adventure and puzzles and stuff seemed kind of...pointless. I didn't really follow all the mess of them falling down the hole and the river and the portal and everything. It all felt very far-fetched, and I guess I was expecting a little more realism from the book.

The character interactions are also a little strange. Most of the time they don't seem very smart, like when Elyssa sends Jason out to die and yet has a plan to stop the flooding. Why not wait until she tried her plan? Little things like that get me, where the solution seems so simple and instead of doing it all the characters make things more complicated instead.

That's basically what the book was: complicated, when the solution could've been simpler. The problems seemed too easily solved and yet it was a complicated mess.

I will say that the Black Egg gives me the creeps. There were times when I was unsure if it was good or bad, and then I would reassure myself as Koren reassured herself. That was very well done. ( )

I am usually really good at picking out books that I know I will like. So when I found myself having a hard time getting into this book I was upset. I really want to like it but I found that I just could not.

The plot for one moved to slow for me and it was a bit confusing. As soon as you started the book, you were thrown into the story with hardly no back round on the legends on the Dragons. You learn secrets but all of it was cryptic. I had a hard time relating to Jason the character whom we follow in the book. Jason is younger and is pretty much kept in the dark about things.

Even now I have a hard time writing this review because I really wanted to like it. But in the end this book is just not for me. ( )
