I'll start right upfront by saying I really liked 'A Dragon Scorned', even though it is the first book of this type I have ever read. Yes, I have not just moved out of my comfort zone of historical fiction in reading this story - it feels more like a giant leap. I haven't even read Lord of the Rings! So this was a major genre change in my reading habits.What I found was an incredibly engaging story that kept me turning page after page until I unexpectedly came to the end ... and wanted more.J C Harker has a way with words that perfectly suits this style of story and I was comfortable reading every word of it.Well written and knowledgeable about dragons, sailing vessels, dwarfs and warriors, we meet a mother dragon who possesses the overpowering instinct to protect her offspring at all costs - and how that power prevailed.I feel that JC Harker is a natural story teller and to my delight, found she has written another story call 'A Dragon's Path to Ascension' and I am off to sample its delights as I feel sure it is a follow up to 'A Dragon Scorned'.If you want to visit a different world, filled with fantasy centerd around dwarfs, warriors and dragons, I highly recommend 'A Dragon Scorned'.
