Reviewer’s Thoughts

I can now safely say “Oh my God I love this book.” After a few unsuspecting events popping up, Dragon Kings willing to sacrifice themselves in order to save Sammi and the Warriors and Fae getting involved in ensuring her safety, everything finally comes to a head at this point. It may be my OCD demanding that the villain’s name be clearly stated, but in all honesty, because it is not stated and his name is never actually said at any point when any of the characters address him, we still do not know definitively who the villain is. There is the obvious confrontation between the Warriors and Kings and the bad guys, and yet again… the mastermind behind it all remains unnamed. Could it be a defeated and disgraced former Dragon King? Sure. That would be the obvious choice for the villain. But I can’t help but point out his look of confusion when confronted not once, but twice by Kings about his involvement. Am I playing devil’s advocate and trying to build the suspense by leading you down a different path? I’ll admit to possibly doing that. But think about it… what a twist it would be for the villain to be someone completely unexpected.

Because this is a romance novel and this is the last installment, it is now safe for me to state the obvious, which is that Sammi and Tristan do indeed get their happy ending. No cliffhangers in the love department here. However I do feel the need to point out that I will be waiting with pins and needles for the next Dragon Kings book to answer a few important questions. Not to mention that we just lost one of our own to the Dark. Yes, I say we because by the time you get to the end of the book, you feel as embroiled in this story as if it were taking place around you, not within the pages of a book. Grant’s unique way with words has you believing in ancient dragons and god-like warriors. They are out there, keeping the world safe from demons and other dark beings. I felt it and once you’ve read Fire Rising so will you.

At this point I’ve only got one more thing to say… It’s time to mount a rescue! Hit me with your next book, Ms. Grant.
