Overview
It's been two months since Kai Monahan's life changed forever. Retrieved from a suddenly unsafe Colorado by Rhys and taken to Eryri, the dragons' home in the South Pacific, she lives a secret existence. Rhys—for all his awe-inspiring power—is afraid to reveal to his people that he's heartsworn to a human. One he's quite possibly in love with.
Kai hasn't forgotten the terror or pain of the moment Rhys first took control of her mind and her magic, but neither has she forgotten the fire of his kiss. When she's discovered, dragon politics—not to mention spies and ex-lovers—threaten her growing feelings. Rhys has more enemies than he can guess, and someone close to him is playing right into their hands.
The war Rhys never wanted is coming. For either of them to survive, Kai must open her mind to him as never before. This time, there will be no turning back.
Book two of the Dragonsworn trilogy
My Review :
**** 4 STARS ****
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
Let me first start off by saying, I did not want to read this book. I only realised after I requested it that I had read the first book and hated it. That being said, I have found that life is filled with happy coincidences.
Oh holy smokes, I swear that this book feels like it isn't even written by the same author. It is so much better than the first one, I just can't even believe it.
The writing flows so much better than the first book and the characters have real growth and grit to them.
Unfortunately, Kai, the main female character, is still ridiculously annoying. I'm pretty sure that if it was possible, I would reach through the pages and strangle her for being so stupidly weak. That being said, the other characters really shine in this book and I was absolutely thrilled to see the focus on other characters more than just Kai.
The plot is good and fast paced, although the city hanger ending just about killed me. I hate cliffhangers. I feel as if I should go pound my head into a steel door when I read them.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised to say I will definitely be reading the third in this series and I'm glad I made time for this one as well.
