At the end of the first book in the series, Melly was safe in the dragons' homeland after being rescued from the blood mages. A healer had healed Melly's physical injuries and taken away the memories of her captivity.Now, those memories are coming back in the shape of nightmares, and Melly is convinced that one of the blood mages survived and is still looking for her to steal her powers. Together with dragon general Solan Fire-Eater she sets out to find the evil mage and take care of him once and for all. On their journey, they have to travel through hostile areas, make new friends and allies, as well as new enemies.I thoroughly enjoyed this  book. It has all the things I like about a romance - a likable heroine, hot alpha hero, quirky secondary characters, a nice amount of humor, interesting world building, and an intriguing storyline. Also, let's not forget the dragons and swords and quest - lots of fun stuff.The action moves quickly, and while the storyline isn't overly complicated, it kept my interest. The focus of the story is definitely on the romance and on the characters' relationships. I especially enjoyed the humor - several scenes had me chuckling.In some places, I would have liked to know more about the backstory of certain characters and happenings. The narration skims over a few things that would have added depth to the story.This book is a good deal longer than the first book in the series, and the writing is much more polished. There were a number of editing/typo issues, but it wasn't overwhelming.Overall, this was a very enjoyable book. It's a romantic and lighthearted read that's great for the beach or a rainy day at home.
