They can be so darn testy. I really enjoyed this new dragon world where humans/dragons co-exist and are aware of each other. Never Deal with Dragons was a nice mix of mystery, action, political intrigue, and romance (Personally I felt the romance in this story was secondary). Overall it was a great beginning to the series. There is a slight cliffhanger (pesky) but it wasn't to bad!Character Thoughts: Myrna was an awesome character. She was smart, good at her job, and had a pretty sturdy spine. She also has a great friend, incredible linguistics talents, and the ability to adapt to her situations but also the ability to rise above them. All around she was fantastic. It took awhile (3/4 of the book) for me to warm up to her love interest: Trian. I liked him as a character but have to admit their romance wasn't "sizzling" to me. Trian was everything a person working with Dragons should be: quick, agile, daring, and a little to smart for his own good!Audio Thoughts:Narrated By Leslie Bellair / Length: 7 hrs and 40 minsThis is the first time I have listened to Leslie and it probably won't be my last. I really liked how well she did Myrna's voice! I also liked her pacing and nuances. I wasn't a huge fan of her male voices but they did grow on me through out the story. As always, you should listen to a sample of audiobook before purchasing so you can decide if the voice works for you.Final Thoughts:Can't wait till book 2! I want to know what happens.
