Welcome Readers
My name is Cyn and each week we (me and my BFF Ann from Romancing the Readers) blog all about books and book related topics on something we call Book Club Thursday(BCT). Learn more about me and BCT here
Our feature today is:
This is a simple theme week where we each can read any book we want as long as it has been our book shelve(s) longer than six months.
My pick this week:
Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed―a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved.
Now Illarion has a chance to regain what’s been lost―to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn’t the cost his happiness might incur, it’s the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon’s heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone―to see the entire world burn...
ARGH!
But...I am SO PISSED with this book!
My biggest complaint...
That over one third of it (the mid to last part) seemed to be the exact same story/pages from Dragonbane with barely any new content except in the last meager pages to give Illy his HEA.
I felt so cheated with this novel.
Now, granted I did enjoy the first part of the story which focused on Illy and his mate before that horrible business ensued.
And like other novels by Ms Kenyon this was still well written and enjoyable with great characters, humorous moments and the like BUT STILL... perhaps it was just me.
