What a great cliffhanger. Entertaining and exciting with a lot of twists.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Everyone knows dragons have been extinct for over a thousand years. Everyone is wrong. At least one dragon remains, and military scientists from the Cofah Empire are experimenting with its blood, using the magical substance to power deadly new weapons that could be used to bring the world to its knees.
That's a concern for Zirkander, Cas, and the rest of the Iskandians, but all Tolemek wants is to find his missing sister. The last time he saw her, their father had locked her in an asylum because of a mental illness with no cure. Now the military has taken her. What use the Cofah have for her, Tolemek can only guess, but he is certain she is in danger. He must save her before it's too late. But her fate is inexplicably tied to the dragon's, and he must find it to find her.

I read book after book to find out what was going to happen. I liked the 'magic' in the book. A nice escape!

Title says it all. It may not contain as much plot as the last books, but it's worth a read. Much more landscape description in this book than the previous, in my opinion.

A good mix of antagonists and protagonists with the hero and heroine being fun and not up tight characters.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 23, 2020Verified Purchase
I am enjoying this series so much.
The characters are great, the places they go to are imaginative and interesting.
The story is still fast paced and exciting and it seems to be going in an amazing direction. They have found a dragon.....love it. This will not be a spoiler as there is so much more to the last sentence!!
The story is left on a bit of a cliff-hanger but i actually don't care (for once!) because i really, really, want the next book to see what happens.
If you would like to read something a little bit different then i recommend this series. Do start at the beginning though as you will get a better feel for the characters.
Loving this series so far.

I enjoyed this 4th book in the series very much
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 19, 2016Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this 4th book in the series very much, again not giving me many chances to actually put the book down.
The progression of the characters flows well with many interesting goals for each character.
My only personal letdown is I felt for the length of the book there was not a "huge journey" considering the overall scheme. The introduction of a couple new characters didn't seem to peak my interest like the current band of merry men, but I enjoyed the read either way! Still looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I haven't enjoyed a series this much since Melanie Rawn and her ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 9, 2015Verified Purchase
Here there be dragons . . . . . . Well, I'm not normally one for reviews but I accidentally discovered Lindsay Buroker's 'Dragon Blood' series via a 'freeby' book two weeks ago. Since then, I've raided the piggy bank and thundered through all of the current books in the series and am now waiting for more, which speaks volumes in itself. I haven't enjoyed a series this much since Melanie Rawn and her epics with the Sun-Runners. In the latest volume, Lindsay rolls out the 'stars' of previous book so we have a hero, a heroine (who's also a sorceress!), a dragon, a pirate, a petite female with attitude (sniper trained) and a cast of supporting characters that you can't help but empathize with. There's also a roller coaster ride of a plot with more twists and turns than a badly designed American intersection, oh, and did I mention the dragon? All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable romp, bring on the next installment!

Good plots, great pace and originality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 21, 2018Verified Purchase
I'm not usually a 'sword and sorcery' reader but I have to say that the books in this series so far have all kept me entertained to the point where an hour of reading has passed before I realise. The characters are quite well drawn and dialogue is generally entertaining and believable. They all excel at delivering pacy, intelligent plots and believable scenarios despite the fantastic nature of the genre. Well done.
