Dragon Orb - Firestorm by Mark Robson

I first discovered this book at a library except well it was just book two of the series "shadow" so of course it made very curious as to what was in the first and next two books. So after a while my mum finally bought them for me. The book themselves are a bit on the short side with about 300 pages and having a fast reading speed I went through them quite quickly though I re-read them about five times and somehow I always found out something new. It was probably where I read to fast and skipped bits but it was still fun. 

Anyway getting back to the story. The blurb tells us about two of our main characters, Nolita who unfortunately has a lot of irrational fears and as you can probably guess dragons are one of them also with a slight case of OCD. So when a day dragon named Fire shows up on her door step telling her that they are now life partners it's not going to go very well. Our next character is a boy called Elian who has also just come face to face with his soon to be life partner the dawn Dragon Aurora. The dragons tell them of the mission they must complete as it is the Dragons life purpose. So Elian sets off on his journey to meet the Oracle who will set a mission. He then bumps into Kira and her dusk Dragon fang who also haven't be together that long. Then they both meet Nolita and get her to come with them to the Oracle. Where they meet their final companions Pell and shadow the night Dragon. 

The Oracle gives them the mission of finding the four Dragon orbs that will save their world, however all they have to go on is a riddle. Pell who has been riding the longest with a couple of years under his belt immediately appoints himself the leader which doesn't sit to well with the other especially Kira. So from tension within the group to vicious Dragon-Hunters on their tail it's not going to be an easy ride.

I really enjoyed this book series and not just because it had Dragons. No it is beautifully written, very creative and has some very unique ideas presented throughout the book. My favourite character in this book was Pell and his Dragon Shadow I don't know why maybe I found him more interesting than others but I'm sure many would disagree however his personal journey through the books just captivated me.

I really hope I've convinced at least one person to read this book.
