Flying Blind is the first book in The Dragon Diaries
series.
Zoƫ Sorensson is
perfectly normal, except she's been told she's destined for great things. Zoƫ's
the one female dragon shapeshifter of her kind. But Zoƫ is at the bottom of the
class when it comes to being Pyr and her powers are AWOL, so she's sent to a Pyr
boot camp.
Zoƫ quickly
realizes that she has to master her powers yesterday, because the Pyr are in
danger and boot camp is a trap. The Mages want to eliminate all shifters and
the Pyr are next in line-unless Zoƫ and her friends can work together and save
their own kind.
I really enjoyed
reading Flying Blind by Deborah Cooke! I loved reading about the concept of the
Pyr, which are basically dragon shapeshifters! Flying Blind is written from Zoe's
perspective, which is quite interesting as she is the only female Pyr. Initially
Zoe is concerned more with the human aspects of her life, such as socialising
and school, than in her Pyr heritage, so the reader learns about the Pyr along
with Zoe. Whilst learning about the Pyr with Zoe was quite interesting at
times, unfortunately it didn't make me warm up to her as a character. As a
result of this, even though I really enjoyed the story, I didn't have a
favourite character. I also liked reading about the mages, which are considered
as the dragon hunters, and how they differed from the Pyr with their
traditions, attitudes and powers .
