What an amazing read! Megg Jensen did a spectacular job on her world building and created a beautiful and dangerous world for her readers to escape to and enjoy in this second book of her Dragonlands series. I loved the world in the first book. I don’t often say this, but I think the second book was even better than the first book. She expanded the world she built in the first book allowing us to see so much more of this detailed world she designed with her amazing imagination.I love stories that involve dragons. I love the stories where dragons are evil creatures of destruction and chaos, the stories where they are partners with humans=, and the stories where they are shape-shifters. Megg Jensen’s dragons combine all those elements. Some of the dragons are truly evil beasts and some aren’t. The diversity in the dragons is fascinating and makes it so that each dragon is an interesting character that can be an agent for good or evil, or just a neutral character. A dragons color though does seem to effect their personality a little, but that might simply be because of the limited number of dragons we have met or other extenuating circumstances. Needless to say, I love the dragons in this story. Dragons are amazing, and this story flawlessly envelopes them into the world.I’ve gone on and on about the world, but I haven’t even gotten to the characters. The characters are great. They are well developed and have issues and complicated love interests that model real life and make the story all the more realistic and a wonderful book to escape to for a couple hours.And the plot is so much fun! I don’t want to give away too much (because some people might be reading this without having read the first book yet, and if you haven’t read it you should go get a copy and read it), but let’s just say there are some interesting twists and developments. And the ending! I think I might have squealed a little with excitement for the next book when I read that ending.Overall this was a wonderful second book, and built on the fine foundation of the first book producing an even better second book. I highly recommend this book (and all of Megg Jensen’s books if you haven’t read them yet).I received an eARC of this book from Megg Jensen in return for my honest review. This is my honest opinion of the book.
