This is a wonderful story! It took a little while to build up, but once it did I was totally hooked. Great characters, lots of plot, romance and a neat take on dragons. Highly recommended, as is the sequel! I really wish Joanne Bertin would write more books!

I liked this book very much even though it had a lot of fantasy cliches. The only part that really bothered me was the battle over the regency. It felt like too much of a plot device to get the Dragonlords to the city rather than a necessary part of the plot. Also, Beren looked to be not such a great regency candidate, but in the end he and his wife almost seemed to be different people.

This book is really great! The characters are full. This story has light, dark, a little sad, funny, romance and good dragons (not the destroy the city variety.) I really wish she would write the third one she promised at the end of Dragon and Phoenix. I would buy it hardcover in a heartbeat.
There is a short story by this author as well with some of the same characters. She used to send you a copy for $5 if you asked from her website. Last time I checked however she had stopped for a time.
Dragon and Phoenix is the second story. The books can be read in either order, but it will be more fun (and more surprises) if you read them in order. This one then Dragon and Phoenix.

I like Joanne Bertin alot because she presents great fantasy in every page and a nice romance element in the character Linden Rathan who seeks his soultwin. Now, who can resist that? What a fun read with lots of detailed dialogue.
