Response:
This book, the sequel to The Fire Within, talks about David trying to find the secret to the "Fire Tear", a tear that dragons shed when they die. Some parts confuse me a lot, such as David's dreams. They sometimes trail off, and most of the time have too many details to follow. I usually have to reread these parts a couple of times, still a bit confused after that. Just a description of a bear can go on for a page! Now that's what I call FOCUS. The book is not that suspenseful, but it has enough to keep me going. At some points, it leaves me mystified at a chapter, so I have to read on to see what's next. David has a friend named Zanna, and at one point they meet, in the next chapter, so I have to read on. I think he made the wrong descision meeting with her because he already has a girlfreind, currently in africa, but still having a relationship. I think that they should've met when at college to do their business like lend books, and leave, rather than going to his house.
