Starlighter is the first book in the adventure/fantasy series "Dragons of Starlight". It's a book about friendship, trust and a whole lot of conflict along the way. It's about these two teens Koren and Jason who live on two separate planets. Fate brings them together by this old legend.

When I first read these books summery I thought "nope not reading this". I didn't want to read it because it didn't catch my attention at first. I wasn’t really into the whole dragons theme in this book. I actually started reading this it because I had nothing to do; I saw it and decided to start reading. I was happy that I actually read the book. It was amazing I loved how there was two different perspectives in this story. The main characters Jason and Koren are the perfect team. I will never judge a book but its cover (or in this case by its summery) ever again! I give this book four stars for its creativity in the theme and I loved how it wasen't a book with any romance, it was only friendship, thrust and the love for one another. I recommend this book for teens thirteen to eighteen because there is violence.

I've heard lots about this book even before the movie came out (the movie was awesome by the way). Many friends have said it was a good book others say it was amazing. So I decided to check it out myself. I bought the book and I wanted to grasp every single detail in the book and not rush into it, it was worth the wait. I love the author’s creativity the maze theme. It was unique and graves my attention the minute I started reading. It reminded me of the book "Lord of the Flies" because in both books groups of boys had to work together to survive in a strange place. I give this book 4 stars and a half because it was really well written and he described every single aspect in the book in perfect detail. I recommend this book for ages 13 and up because there's lots of violence.
