This is the second book in the Heartstrikers series. I really ended up enjoying it. There is great world-building, fun characters, and an interesting storyline.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook narration is very well done. This is a book I would definitely recommend listening to on audiobook if you enjoy audiobooks.
I love the characters in this book. Julius is smart and conniving but just so nice to everyone; he is so nice that it makes him completely unpredictable to other dragons. Then there is Marci the extremely competent mage with a strange ghostly cat; watching Marci fangirl over dragons is hilarious.
There is a lot of action in here and some pretty awesome developments in the story as well. We get to spend a lot more time with Julius's siblings. One of the highlights of the story is meeting Bethesda's heir Amelia, she is hilarious and powerful and adds so much to the story.
We also get to learn a lot more about the Fangs of the Heartstriker and there is a lot of story development around Ghost, Marci's ghostly cat. Pretty much everything that was awesome in the first book just gets more awesome in this one.
Overall this was a wonderful continuation of this series and I super excited about where the story is going. This series has been a wonderful balance of action, a twisty plot, great world-building, engaging characters, and awesome magic. I plan on continuing with the series and am really enjoying it! I would recommend to those who enjoy light-hearted urban fantasy. This series is a lot of fun to read!
