So in book 1 we met Claudia and her dragon Kael. In book 2 we have Claudia's friend Sasha and her dragon Dahk. Both Sasha and Dahk were pretty damaged. But when they mated, Sasha fixed a lot of what was wrong with Dahk. Dahk had a bit more work to heal Sasha. But the two built a new life together and it was sweet. Until Sasha had the requisite meltdown, sent Dahk away, and then got into a whole lot of trouble before it.

But, enter Emma and Zohr. At first I'll admit I didn't trust Emma. But she turned out to be fine. I'm curious to see how things work out with her and Zohr in the next book. Claudia and Sasha were pretty ignorant of all things drakoni and how the mating process worked. But Emma knows exactly what she's getting into. That will be a refreshing change.

For the most part these books are entertaining. I'm not 100% loving the characters, but I'm interested enough to see where this series leads. ( )

This story I am on the fence about. There were some great elements and others that were "meh" and still others were "you have to be kidding me".

But overall it did move the story forward and was consistent. Some dom elements that I really didn't like. ( )

Another fun entry into the series. World building expanding. Fun series. ( )

I was really forward to book 2 as I loved IPB series and wanted more from the author.
You will need to read book 1 to get the best enjoyment from this book as events from book lead to the situation Sasha is in.
I got to be honest it started off good initially, we pick up straight away from the last book where Sasha has been snatched by a crazy dragon and flown off with her, then I found it a bit slow.
But I think this is because of the detail about Sasha and Dakh and this is needed to some extent as Sasha's past, esp her dealings with Tate, a malitia soldier from the fort she had lived in before with Claudia and her sister Amy.
Dakh needs to overcome some of Sasha's issues if they are to have an sort of relationship.
There are huge cultural differences and I think this is one of the things Ruby Dixon writes best. The misunderstandings caused by those differences are hilarious.
The story really picks up once around 50%, their relationship is established.
We meet back up with Kael and Claudia and her sister Amy. We are reminded of the doctor we met in book 1 another female named Melina. We also meet a new character Emma and we have whispers of other dragons.
I thought I knew how the plot would go, Tate versus Dakh but although we do see Tate again, I was really suprised at the turn of events in the story, things get really complicated and we end up learning A LOT about the dragon's history and culture and the events that led to them coming through the rift.
The book ends leaving it obvious Emma's book is next and things for her are complicated. She has been surviving for a long time on her own and id very independent so book 3 should be interesting.
I have to be honest at a point early on I almost put it down but after completing it I am glad I did.
