Review of SERAPHINA by Rachel Hartman

This amazing novel has it all:  palace intrigue, inter-species love (and war) and glorious music, described so well you can almost hear it.  The story started out a bit slow, but soon the reader is strolling the corridors of the castle as easily as exploring the intricate world of Seraphina's mind.  I'm looking forward to the sequel because I'm not ready to give up this complex world with its fascinating human and dragon characters. 4 Elves - Highly Recommended
