The Dragon Who Loved Me (Dragon Kin, Bk 5)

This is Rhona and Vigholf's book. Rhona is a Cadwaldr female dragon, which means she fights, she is far from lady-like, and she doesn't let anyone stand in her way. Vigholf is a lightning dragon from the North, which means when he sees a female, he thinks she should be as far from danger as possible, since female dragons are so scarce in the North.

Rhona and Vigholf get sent on a mission to find Annwyl, the missing Mad Queen of Garbhan Isle. Annwyl has apparently gone off into the heart of the enemies her country is fighting, in hopes of finding a rebel King to help them defeat the evil dragons of the Provinces and end the five years' war they've been in the middle of.

This book was better than the last book, which I had a hard time getting through, but it still wasn't the caliber of the first three books. G.A. Aiken writes steamy scenes, but her books aren't only about sex. They're gritty semi-period pieces with blood, swords, and dragon-shifters. This book does not disappoint in that aspect.

I had a hard time relating to these characters mainly because Rhona was a bit out of our "normal" circle of characters. While we had heard of Vigholf before, he was also not a main character, and therefore, I had little interest in him. But, this book does also continue along with the other characters from the previous books, which is what kept me going.

The next book however, is the long awaited Izzy/Eibhar book, and I'm chomping at the bit for that one! Since I'm rereading the series, stay tuned for reviews of the other books! :)
