Opinion:
The reason I read this book was because it was available through NetGalley for a while I wanted to read about dragons and thought it would be interesting blend of vampire the dragons were not that bad but I think the author missed a lot of time on unnecessary scenes when it should focus more on developing the storyline and give us a little more about the history behind the war between vampires and dragons.
I loved Alexandra, a strong character, resolute but sometimes frustrated me a little bit mature in their own way of handling things but I think it's a solid enough character. Declan also decided to charm me but I never understood that love was at the cave of "wolf" and I say if I understood the reason but I found something irresponsible on your part but I still love his character definitely very brave, very handsome and determined to fight for Alexandra yet when a love between the two is strictly prohibited (Romeo & Juliet a bit?). Then
Lotharus this character, the faithful servant of the Queen that the passage of years has made the Queen insole apart and more and has taken charge of the vampires, take power away from Alexandra in theory is supposed to be the next queen of the vampires. I commented that the type is the meanest, most ruthless and there are times when you think you will get in trouble the guy gets away with it or whether the guy is a son of the pot if not an insult, and there were times that frustrated that he spent his torturing everybody.
But then the author spends much time describing the scenes of torture, every 5 minutes are torturing the poor Declan still do not know how the guy lives and when you think that they can not torture torture him psychologically more then that torture Lotharus Alexandra then we had a 20% torturing people in the whole book when you explain a bit more about the history of why the war of vampires and dragons.
Then if they are not torturing the two protagonists then the two are busy taking off her clothes and eating each other (excuse the expression) but I think they appear sex scenes must have their reason for being but if we look at the circumstances that were both (the guy was a prisoner in the jail of the vampires) I do not think sex was both necessary and at times less hassle.
Then when you finally change the scenarios of what vampires dragons quarters it occupies barely a few pages then you never interact with dragons. Never do you relate to Declan's sister or with people who are around him.
The conclusion I felt a bit rushed, so anything you wanted to know the book will reveal a few pages before the book is completed then stay on tenterhooks.
So I think the author's next book should focus on giving more details of the plot to waste time on unnecessary torture or those sex scenes that are irrelevant. I think the author is a series that has so much potential and I think we can give more.
