The unmissable first half of New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken’s bold, uproarious, and undeniably sexy Dragon Kin series! Dragon Actually Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer. It’s just too bad Fearghus is a dragon . . . isn’t it? About a Dragon For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by—wait for it—a silver-maned dragon. With a human form to die for, and who is utterly spellbound by Nolwenn’s magic . . . What a Dragon Should Know Gwenvael the Handsome certainly has a high opinion of himself. Which is why he’s been called upon to broker an alliance with the one the Northlanders call The Beast. It turns out the Beast, a.k.a. Dagmar Reinholdt, is a woman with a heart of ice only a dragon’s fire might melt . . . Last Dragon Standing Keita is a charming, soft-spoken dragoness bred from the most powerful of royal bloodlines. It’s a disguise that allows her to keep all suitors at tail’s length. Until Ragnar the Cunning, a handsome barbarian warlord and warrior mage from the desolate Northlands dismisses her as vapid, useless and, to her great annoyance, rather stupid! WTF?! A Tale of Two Dragons Braith of the Darkness likes going through life unnoticed. Not an easy task for a She-dragon of royal descent. But the evil plots of her father are turning her quiet, boring life upside down. Except this time she won’t have to fight alone. Not when the warrior dragon of her dreams—one Addolgar the Cheerful—is willing to risk everything to save her neck. Praise for the Dragon Kin Series “Aiken’s patented mix of bloodthirsty action, crazy scenarios and hilarious dialogue have made this series a truly unique pleasure.”—RT Book Reviews, 4½ Stars “A chest thumping, mead-hall rocking, enemy slaying brawl of a good book.” —All Things Urban Fantasy “Laugh-out-loud funny—I loved it!” —New York Times bestselling author Thea Harrison
Reviews with the most likes.
Annwyl was a good strong character. Morfyd was a great character. Strong and smart. Wish we could have seen/learned more about her. I liked the second story, Chains & Flames, but I was a little tired of the land by that point. The switching of multiple points of view could have happened less. I would have switch the heavy on the sex for more plot. Maybe half the amount of repetitiveness like ass slapping/growling /descriptions of Annwyl's breasts, and double the amount of plot and character development. More character development on her brother's wizard and the lightning dragons. There are a lot of questions left unanswered and a cliché seen was needed where the bad guy give up all his motives and explained how he came to making this plan. With out this information it was hard to care about the characters.
This series is such a guilty pleasure for me, but G.A. Aiken writes engaging characters (for the most part) and sucks you into the story. The books are filled with strong female and male characters alike and a dash of humor.
