Fun but Sad Dragon Rider Adventure

If you like emotional rollercoaster adventures with dragons then this is a great choice. I struggled a bit with the amount of sorrow that Kalina is made to endure, I guess it's just hard to imagine anyone going through the same amount struggles in such a short time. It is a darker fantasy adventure but it is still kept very clean (free of bad language, overly graphic violence, and no sex scenes). It a good middle grade level and up read. It is a story that does pull you in and with the amount of action it is a hard one to put down.

The narrator does a great job and was fun to listen to.

A wonderful follow up

A wonderful follow up. I loved seeing the characters develop with all there faults. The story flowed with ease and left me wanting more.

Fantastic

Kalina is now Queen You are completely drawn into her world and wonder how she will manage. The narrator helped make it realistic.

To Be Queen Or Not?

I enjoyed the first book of the series, but I liked this book more. This second book details Kalina's struggles, both internal and external, as to whether she should be queen of the Valdirs or not. The tale describes Kalina's interpersonal relationships, not only with her subjects, but also with her dragon. There are twists and turns, some battle scenes, and complex developments that increased my interest in reading the next book in the series. I recommend this book to others who enjoy this genre. Elizabeth DeVault's narration is more consistent in this book than in the first one, and I found it to be more pleasing. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
