Though I thought that this would be the last book in the series that I would salivate for, Aiken has made sure that the Eibhear’s two nieces and his nephew were intriguing enough that now I want to read their books. What was even more wonderful was that the stories of the next generation were well set up. All of Aiken’s trademark humor is alive and well.
When Eibhear’s friends show up – the very scary and intimidating Mi-Runach – the throw away line of “we will kill the females first and then kill ourselves” in order to avoid pain and torture, had me laughing uproariously.
In addition, this book is filled with humor. There was no awkwardness as they first fell into an easy role of friends until the sparks took them both by surprise. Instead, Izzy and Eibhear, very healthily I might add, moved on from where they were without rehashing everything that had happened. My biggest fear with this book was that it would get bogged down in the mistakes the two made in the past in an effort to not admit how they felt about each other, but, thankfully, it didn’t. The sweet and innocent baby blue dragon (he was only 87, of course) and the feisty and engaging Izzy really captured my attention. I have been waiting on this book since the couple was first introduced in the second entry of the series. And once Izzy and Eibhear are off on a quest to find help for Izzy’s baby sister, the feelings only seem to grow stronger. On the journey home, the two spend more time verbally sparring than they do romancing, but it is clear that only some strong feelings could bring about that much passion. She is now a battle hardened general in her aunt’s army who is well known for decapitating ogres. Only this time, Izzy is no longer the love sick teenager that fell for Eibhear at first sight and who pinned for him for years before giving up. When Eibhear’s brother in law sends him after Izzy in order to fetch her home, right off the bat the sparks fly again. For ten years, Eibhear has froze his nether regions off in the Ice Lands, become one bad ass dragon and finally, so he thinks, forgotten all about Izzy. Because he was annoying them, and they really didn’t know what else to do with him, his brothers and father sent him off to become a Mi-Runach – a dragon special ops unit that is characterized by their complete lack of concern for orders and their desire for women and ale, preferably in that order. When his first true love, his brother’s adopted daughter Izzy, lost her virginity to his cousin, Eibhear became a bit of a prat. These crazy dragons are laugh out loud funny and the latest installment is no exception.Įibhear is the youngest hatchling in the Dragon Royal Family. Though the humor may be an acquired taste, it is one that I definitely have. Aiken’s Fantasy series about a family of Dragon Shifters. If you want a funny series to read, you must pick up G.A.
