2015 reading challenge: may.

Reading of the month:

"Seraphina" by Rachel Hartman

 “Once I had feared that telling the truth would be like falling, that love would be like hitting the ground, but here I was, my feet firmly planted, standing on my own.” 

"Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life."

Oh, well, I didn't plan to read this book in may. I had another one in mind, but when I couldn't find it with the cover I prefered (you know how picky I am with covers), I delved among books at goodreads, and somehow, I found my way to "Seraphina". So far I can say, it's great. I can't put it down, too excited to continue reading, to follow the story and to discover more. And to know that it's the first book (of three), makes be absolutely happy! And I can't wait to read the others!

Happy Reading!
